Rainbow Easter with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello and hope you are enjoying your weekend.  Today we will be enjoying a little day trip to some ruins I've never seen - hopefully it won't be too windy.

I'm also sharing the latest Catch the Bug Blog challenge: Color challenge.

I don't usually do color challenges since they are so difficult for me, but I gave it a go!

I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamp Easter Egg Basket.  Not the usual pastel that goes along with an Easter themed card, but hopefully it all works.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin.  So join in this week if you can for a chance to win Bugaboo Stamps!

My card meets the following challenges: Crafting With Friends: Anything Goes, 4 Crafty Chicks: Punches or Dies (my rainbow squiggles are a sizzix die), Crafting With An Attitude: Anything Goes, and Crafty Creations: Anything Goes.

Izzy Balloon with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello and YESSSSS it's Friday!  Today I'm sharing the current Bugaboo Freebie Friday.

Her name is Izzy Balloon and I find her to be quite cute - hopefully she has already reached her destination.  So you have one week to pick her up for free.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Cat and Mouse with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello and hope you are having a wonderful Saturday.  Today I'm sharing a card for the latest challenge at Catch the Bug : Bingo (please see blog for bingo card):

I'm featuring an adorable Bugaboo Cat - with his mouse pal.  I received some awesome dies with the stitch lines as a gift and couldn't wait to use them!  They are so awesome and just that little sewn line really does add so much.  My bingo is Twine/Green/Stripes.

Sweet Easter Bunny with From the Heart

Oh yes, finally Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card for the latest From the Heart I Heart Sketch (also known as Designed 2 Delight - check link for sketch since I have trouble copying them on my posts):

I'm using the adorable FTH Easter Bunny.  Now, if anything could go wrong while making this card, it did.  I cut in the wrong places, I got glue all over....I don't know what happened.  Hopefully I salvadged enough to send out for Easter.  So you still have a couple more days to play along!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

This also meets the following challenges: Hanna and Friends: Spring,  Crafty Creations: Anything Goes, and Inspiration Destination: Anything Goes.

House Mouse Camera

Yay it's Hump Day.  I really need a weekend, and Wednesday's are God's way of telling me "everything will be ok, just a couple more days."

Today I want to share a card for the current House Mouse and Friends Challenge #236 - Let's Have a Party (or Anything goes).

So I'm going with Party - at least I believe my birthday card fits in that category.  This is a fabulous stamp I won a few challenges back!  Made for my big brother who will be turning 55 in April - and I think he will make the connection, since I'm always behind my DSLR camera.

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

Bird Trio

Hello all and hope you are enjoying your weekend! Today I'm sharing a card for the current Catch the Bug challenge:  Birds, Bees, Butterflies

I'm featuring birds and butterflies using Bugaboo Stamps' Bird Trio Summer digi stamp.  A little bright and colorful...using up some older papers.  I'm trying really hard to use up my stash, but temptation is everywhere!!  So join in if you can!

This meets the following challenges: Crafting With An Attitude: Anything Goes, Crafty Sentiments Designs: Anything Goes, and Through the Craft Room Door: Always Anything Goes.

Mad for Science Birthday

Yay - it's almost Friday!!  It's been a long week for me - still recovering from a respiratory infection, Beanie starting softball, Bit's piano lessons, mid-week services, Beanie's art class, and the beginning of 4H.  And I LOVE it all!!

So I'm able to play along this week with From the Heart I Heart Sketches (also known as Designed 2 Delight) - a card for Bean's 10th (not till May, but I've been super organized this year (so far), even have Easter Basket goodies on their way from Amazon!!).   My card is flipped to put the circle on top.  I'm featuring From the Heart Mad for Science stamp.

Why this for a 10 year old girl?  Because she won 2nd place in the science fair this year!!  And 1st place last year.  Obviously a proud mama moment.  That's it for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  This meets the following challenges: Crafty Creations: Anything Goes, Inspiration Destination: Anything Goes, and Simon Says: For a Special Lady/Girl (my baby's birthday!!).

Girl with Heart Balloons

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  I've been in bed for a couple weeks with a respiratory infection - and I'm still exhausted!!  But I'm here to share a card for this weeks challenge at Catch the Bug blog which is ANYTHING GOES!!

I did one of those die cut gate folds from Splitcoaststampers tutorial found here.  It closes with a tuck under the circle/heart.

The picture makes it look like the opening is crooked, but it was die cut and looks pretty good IRL.  I always like anything goes - since it makes it easier to make a card with a purpose.  This was obviously for Valentine's Day.

Another project for Valentine's Day are these little origami pockets for the girls' teachers.  I found the super simple folding instructions on Pinterest.  All of these feature Bugaboo Stamps' Make it Snappy Girl Valentines Day.  This image also comes without a sentiment so you can personalize with your own sentiment.  So join in this week if you can!!
