Little Birthday Bear

Hello and Happy Thursday.  We have just been swamped with softball lately.  But I've managed to create a little something using an oldie but goody Bugaboo Stamp - and older, but still much loved image:

 I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Little Bear Birthday.  I'm also using one of my new MFT Blueprints die sets.  These really are so cool to work with.  So short and sweet for me.  I'm rushing out the door to Bean's game!  Thanks for stopping by.

Jellybean Bracelets

Hello and hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Today I would like to share a little treat I made for the kids in my family for Easter.  I like to give them little handmade items in hopes they will grow to appreciate such things.  I know lots of kids love store bought stuff, of course, how could they not?   But hopefully they learn to love crafts, made by hand, that take time and thought.

Anyway, I put together jellybean bracelets, packaged them, and slapped a cute little label on them.  The label features Bugaboo Stamps Bunny and Chick Topper.  I'm sure they enjoyed them - who can resist a Jelly Belly?  That's it for today....thanks for stopping by.

Blue Daisy with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello and Happy Easter!  This weekend will bring two egg hunts, a visit from the Easter Bunny, good food with family, and a church baptism.  Busy, but a special time for all.

Today I'm sharing a card for this weeks Catch the Bug challenge: Bingo (please see blog for Bingo card):

I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Kidz Daisy 2.  I have a thing for blue daisies - I know they are not exactly found in nature, but I've managed to receive some before.  My Bingo is Die or Punch/Bugaboo Image/Ribbon.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin.

That's it for today.  I wish you a wonderful weekend!

This meets the following challenges: Crafting With Friends: Anything Goes, Crafty Girls Creations: Anything Goes, and Crafty Creations: Anything Goes.

Dino Birthday Framed

Tuesday it is - and another softball game tonight!  And I'm sharing a Bugaboo Stamps new release:

Isn't he cute?  This is Dino Birthday and the sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin.  The layout is a complete CASE from Kinda Cute Cards - just couldn't resist the frames.  That's my short post for the day.  Thanks for visiting.

My card meets the following challenges: Crafting From the Heart: Anything Goes,  Ooh La La Creations: Birthday, Stamping Sensations: Anything Goes, and the Corrosive Challenges: Anything Goes.

Teddy with Umbrella

Hello all.  Softball season/games have officially begun, so we will be running around like crazy for the next few months.  Anyway, I'm here to share a card for this weeks Catch the Bug Blog challenge: Raining Cats & Dogs:

Now, I noticed the other DT members created cat and dog cards....and I went with rain!  I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Umbrella Teddy, and I also attempted a shaped card inspired by Creating in Carolina's shaped cards (she's done several and I always love them) - but I think I missed the mark a bit.  I love the image and had fun coloring him, but I'm thinking a shaped card wasn't the best idea.  Well, at least I gave it a try.

So join in this week with Raining Cats & Dogs if you get a chance.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

FTH Mouse Balloon

Hello and Happy Hump Day! I'm so happy to be able to participate in this weeks I Heart Sketches with From the Heart Stamps Blog (also known as Designed 2 Delight).  This is sketch 169 (linked HERE)

I'm featuring a cute little From the Heart mouse - Mouse Balloon - that I just realized is FREE!  You still have a few days to play along with the sketch so join in if you can.  Thanks for stopping by today for my short post.

Brown Easter Bunny with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello and welcome.  Today I'm sharing a card for the current Catch the Bug Blog challenge: Anything Goes!  Always a favorite.

I'm going with non-traditional colors on this one, featuring Bugaboo Stamps Bugaboo Bunny.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin and the die cut is Sizzix.  Even with all the brown, I would have to say this is my favorite Easter card so far.  So play along with us this week if you can.
