Catch the Bug Challenges - Oldie But Goodie Thursday {Book Sitter 2}

Hello!  My how this month has flown by!

Already we are near the end of July - wow!

My son is home this week for a visit 

and my niece just got married on Saturday

so it's been a busy time around here for us.

So nice to have my boy home for a bit!

Today I have a card to share with you for

OLDIE BUT GOODIE THURSDAY

at Catch the Bug Challenges.

This adorable fella is called "booksitter 2"

and I think he looks a little bit like Harry Potter :o). 

I'm partial to this image because I love to read

and I love it when kids love to read too.  

You can go so many places in your imagination

when reading a book.  In fact, I'm often disappointed

in the movie after I've read a book because it

seems so much more wonderful when I read it.  

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Come and Get it Challenges - Kids Cards

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog #288 - Anything Goes

You can get this adorable image in the Bugaboo Store

and on SALE for a couple more days!! 

In fact you can get lots of awesome images 

since Jodie has put the entire store on sale.  

Don't miss this awesome deal!

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!

I'm off to enjoy some more time with my family. 

Hugs to you all!  D

Catch the Bug Challenges - Anything Goes

Oh hello! Thanks for stopping in to visit me today!

It's the start of another weekend and that means it's time for
another fun challenge at Catch the Bug Challenges.  

This time we have the very popular "ANYTHING GOES" theme.
That means any theme, any colors, any design, any project
any image...you get it :o).  You don't have to use a
Bugaboo digital stamp but we LOVE it when you do.

You are probably aware of all the CUTE images that 

 Jodie has in the Bugaboo Stamps store but there are

also many elegant and beautiful digital images as well.  

 Today I'm sharing a beautiful card that I made for a friend's 

birthday using a Bugaboo Stamps image called "Rose Tag"

(don't worry she has already received it)

Can you tell her favorite color is purple?  I found

this perfect paper in my stash. I have no idea how long

I've had it but I was delighted to find it for this card! 

I colored the image using copic markers in the following colors:

Rose (V22, V25 and V28) 

Petals and stems (G21, G24)

Shading (W00 and W01).

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:

Catch the Bug Challenges - Oldie but Goodie

Hello friends and followers - happy Thursday!

On Thursdays at Catch the Bug Challenges we

feature some of the wonderful Bugaboo digital stamps

from the Oldie but Goodie category (really that just means

not brand spankin' new but still soooo good and fun to use).

Since this is the month for love, I'm sharing a valentines 

card that I made for my son using a really fun image 

called BUGPUPHEARTS01.

I don't typically make many valentine's cards - 

really just for my family.  I know they enjoy receiving

a handmade card.  Both of my kids save theirs -

makes my heart happy :o).

I used two things that I don't use very often on this card

buttons and twine.  Not sure why...I think I just forget :o)

Don't really need to add much when you have an image 

that is this adorable.  The inside says

"I Freakin' LOVE You".   And I really do :o) 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Happy Thursday crafty peeps!

Today I have a card to share with you along with the 

fabulous news that I am now an official member of

the Bugaboo Stamps design team!  I was soooooo

thrilled to be asked to stay on this team after my 

recent guest designer term ended.  Looking forward

to sharing lots of the darling and fun Bugaboo digital 

images with you each month!  

Thursday's are Oldie but Goodie days at 

Catch the Bug Challenges 

where the DT gets to show you a creation using 

an older stamp from the amazing collection.

I chose to use the adorable BUMPKIN TRIO today

Aren't they just the cutest?  It just makes me smile to look at them!

I used the sketch from The Challenge #45 for this card

Catch the Bug "Oldie but Goodie" Thursday

Hello friends! Happy Thursday!

I'm enjoying my term as a Guest Designer 

for Bugaboo Digi Stamps very much. 

Thursdays are "Oldie But Goodie" days at 

Catch the Bug Challenge blog and today 

I have the opportunity to share a graduation card

that I made for my cousin's daughter using an 

Oldie But Goodie digital image called "Ava grad dipolma".

I chose this image because it reminded me of the graduate

with her long dark hair and sweet face.  Fortunately she

loved it and it has a place of honor on her table for a while :o)

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
