Little Penguin with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello all and Happy Saturday!  Wow, this month has flown by!  Well, today a new challenge starts at Catch the Bug:

I'm not a fan of photo inspirations, but I love penguins:

I'm featuring Little Penguin Winter in a very CAS card - this has gone to my brother and his son to thank him for a lovely visit over the holidays.  Another reason to not "fancy" it up too much.  So play along this week if you get a chance and have a wonderful weekend!

Birthday Fishes with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello all and Happy Thursday.  The birthday celebration continues at Catch the Bug with today's challenge:  Just Kidding Around (birthday project for kids).  I'm featuring Make it Snappy - Birthday Fishes:

This is Sprout's birthday card.  Two balloons - since she will be two next month!  Like Bean, I keep her cards for her to read when she's 18.  I went super silly with hers since she makes me laugh so much.  The balloons are George and the numbers are Mickey Font.

This is the one I loving refer to as Monster.  She is more than a handful and the Lord knew what he was doing when he blessed me with her as a second child - if she were the first, she would be the only!!  Anyway, thanks for stopping by today!

Bugaboo Turns 4 Blog Hop

Hello all and welcome to the Bugaboo Stamps 4th Birthday Blog Hop!  If you came from

Laurie

then you're in the right place.  If you're just visiting little ol' me, then let me encourage you to hop with us from the BEGINNING.  To kick things off, the first challenge this week is:

Let me share my birthday card with you (no designer paper, bling (earrings) and Bugaboo Image:

This is for Beanie who will be 7 years old this year (there are a total of 7 balloons on her card).  Crazy!  I know time goes by fast, but I didn't realize it was a light speed!!  My baby is growing up and no matter what I do, I can't stop it.  I've considered withholding food, but it seems that's frowned upon.

Bean won't actually receive this card until she's 18.  Inside I write my feelings, her accomplishments, any big adventures, and current likes in friends, music, and television.  Anyway, the sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Itty Bitty Banners, the balloons are Cricut Cart George at 1 1/4", and the numbers are Mickey Font at 1".  My adorable image is: KIDZ Girl Balloon.

So, don't stop here!  Keep going:

Melissa Sackman

Of course, blog hops are funner when prizes are involved.  You can get all the info at Catch the Bug, AND please leave me a comment for your chance to win the image I used on my card (I will pick one comment at random).

Thanks so much for hopping with us!!

Caught Your Heart with From the Heart

Hello all and Happy Wednesday!  I hope everyone is well!  Today, I would like to share this month's From the Heart entry:

I do believe this will make its way to Bean's and Sprout's grandparents.  Maybe with some pictures and hand prints.  Anyway, simple design, and what is great is that this image is currently free....also, use this image for this month's challenge and you get next month's challenge image free.  Win-win!

That's all for today.  Thanks for stopping by.

Falling Ant Birthday with Doodle Pantry

Anyway, today I would like to share a fun little card with you featuring Doodle Pantry's Falling Ants.

Pup with Heart Treat Bags with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello and Happy Friday!  Which is a beautiful way to say: Yay, the weekend is here!!  And there is nothing like Bugaboo Stamps Freebie Friday to start the weekend:

Isn't he cute?  And just in time for Valentine's Day.  I now have to make two of everything, but these came together so quick that I won't even mind when Sprout tears it apart because she only sees the chocolate and not the packaging.

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes.  Make sure to take this little pup home with you and create something beautiful.
