MOJO Monday #436 - "You Are My Sunshine" Kraftin' Kimmie Spring Kard Kit

Hello krafty peeps!  

Here it is almost the end of February already. Wow!

I wonder how many of us will struggle with writing the

date tomorrow as it's only every 4 years when we have

a February 29th.  Today is my nephew's birthday.

Good thing he came when he did or he'd only be 

5 years old instead of 20 - LOL!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made

from some of the papers and embellishments from 

the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps limited edition

Spring Kard Kit which features this adorable

NEW clear stamp set called "You Are My Sunshine".

I used the sketch from MOJO Monday #436

as the inspiration for my layout - I kept it CAS.

Catch the Bug Challenges - Stella Says Sketch #404

Hello crafty peeps, hope each of you is doing well today!

Every other Sunday of each month at Catch the Bug Challenges 

there's a new STELLA SAYS SKETCH challenge for you to try.

Here's Sketch #404 - it's a goodie!!

This is kind of a long and skinny card sketch, but

it could also work well for a square or traditional A2 size.

  

I went with the long and skinny option and flipped  

the sketch vertically for my card today

(the overall size is 4" x 6")

This sweet little image called "Edward Valentine"

was perfect for my daughter's valentine this year

(she LOVES elephants).  I added my own handwritten

sentiment for a personal touch.

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)

Catch the Bug Challenges - Anything But a Card Monday - Valentine Treats

Happy Monday (if there is such a thing LOL) crafty peeps!

Mondays are always a good day at Catch the Bug Challenges

because it's the day that the talented DT for Bugaboo Stamps

share some extra creativity with you by making a project

that is ANYTHING BUT A CARD.  

I've chosen to make some little valentine's treats for my co-workers.

Here's a closer look at the images I used from the 

Mini Set - Love Circle Sentiments - 10.

   Oh my goodness...arent' they FUN?  

I sized each image so that it would fit in a 1 3/8" circle punch.

They were pretty quick to put together.  It took me longer to 

stuff each clear plastic sleeve than it did to color the 8 images.  

Hope they like these!

It's time for a New Release at Bugaboo Stamps and this one

 is soooooo ADORABLE I can hardly stand it.

Here's my valentine card using the sweet little bee:

I added the littlest bit of sparkle on the wings and antennae using

a clear wink of Stella brush.  The papers and enamel hearts are 

from Doodlebug Design, The dies and embossing folder are
