Merry Christmas

Hello and Merry Christmas!!

I wish you a blessed day.

Teacup Birthday Pup Card

Good morning!  I'm here to share the final Stella Says Sketch for the year at Catch the Bug (click here for the sketch).  This challenge goes through January 6, 2018!

I'm featuring a cute little pup from the Bugaboo Stamps Chihuahua Puppy Set.  This is for my little cousin's birthday because she just loves these little dogs.  Personally, I like real large dogs.  My Jack, who passed a few years ago, weighed in at 120 pounds, and he was my gentle giant.  Anyway, the sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit.  And if you find time to be crafty, I hope you get a chance to join in.

This meets the following challenges: Papercraft Challenges: Happy Birthday, Digi Choosday: Anything Goes, Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, and Tuesday Throwdown: Anything Goes.

As I was preparing for this post, I realized that I didn't exactly remember the color challenge part!  Well, I'm going to post anyway, if anything just to encourage you to check out the challenge.  I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Snowmen Trio.  I hope you get a chance to play along this week for a chance to win Bugaboo Stamps.

Merry and Bright Christmas Card

Hello!  It's officially December and life is already getting busy with fieldtrips, class parties, Christmas plays, and all the other events around town!  Believe it or not, we already have our tree up, and I'm just about done with Christmas shopping!

So, today is the start of Christmas Chaos at Catch the Bug!  This is an entire week dedicated to lots of challenges, inspiration, and Bugaboo Stamps.

Today is the kick off with Merry & Bright!

I'm CASE-ing a card that unfortunately I don't know who to credit.  Lot's of white and featuring a Bugaboo Stamp snowman.  I even pulled out the glitter for the star - and I can honestly say, glitter is not my embellishment of choice!  Anyway, visit Catch the Bug Challenge Blog every day this week to see and join in all the challenges!

Happy Birthday Sunflowers Card

Hello!  Well, Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  I always look forward to everything topped with red chili - yup, that is our kind of gravy.

Anyway, I'm here to share a card for the current Catch the Bug Challenge: Bingo!

I completely cased this from Mimi's Craft Room.  I pretty much changed nothing since there's no use messing with perfection.  However, I added ribbon to meet the challenge.  The image is Bugaboo Stamps Sunflower Vase which is only $1.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit.  So that's it for today.  Thanks so much for taking a peek and have a wonderful weekend!

Fall Fox Thoughts Card

Hello all.  Today I'm sharing a super cute new release from Bugaboo Stamps!

Hello and Happy Monday!  And it truly is a Monday - waking up late with a cold...oh well.  But today I'm sharing a Bugaboo Stamp new release with you.

This Bugaboo Stamp Scarecrow makes for a perfect fall card.  So that is my quick share for today...before my head explodes!  Have a wonderful day.

Birthday Girl in Green

Hello and happy Monday! I don't know about you, but I happen to like this time change.  The Spring forward one....I never get used to. But Fall back and all of a sudden, I go to bed on time, wake up on time, and I feel more accomplished.

Today I'm here to share a card for the current Anything Goes Challenge at The Corrosive Challenge Blog.

I'm featuring Birthday Girl from Kinda Cute stamps.  I've been following this artist for a while, and have collected a few freebies, and now she has opened her own shop!

I'm not sure if this is considered a "fancy fold" but it's not a traditional rectangle.  The polka dots are only half a fold with the green section and digi partially adhered.  Hopefully you can see the design in the pic.  Also, I added a little string for interest.  So join along in the super easy anything goes challenge if you can!!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

This meets the following challenges: Lil Patch of Crafty Friends: Anything Goes,  Crazy 4 Challenges: Layer it Up, and Scrapper's Delights: Anything Goes.

I have a couple "spooky" images, but went with Annie - but I can't find her at the Tiddly Inks store.  And I believe the pumpkin was a freebie from long ago.  The sentiment is from Create with  TLC.  So this is my last Halloween card for the season.  Now, it's time to kick it in high gear making Christmas cards!

Again, my inspiration is from Rutabaga Pie Designs - who's coloring is just awesome.  The image is Bugaboo Stamps Halloween Spider Kitty.  The year dies don't show up as well being black on black, but I try to personalize their cards....maybe I should have used yellow.  Yea, yellow would have been better.  Anyway, join in if you can this week!

Anyway, this is Bean's card that I CASE'd from RutabagaPie Designs - her clouds are SO amazing, and I honestly didn't know how to replicate them, but please check out her card since I find it to be so awesome.  This year, Bean wants to be Wednesday Addams.  One of MY favorite characters too!  So that's all for me today.  Please join the challenge if you get a chance.

So join in if you can for the super simple Anything goes challenge this week.

Birthday Puppy Celebrate Card

Hello and yay the week is almost over!  With the girls back in school, it's time for weeks to fly by and living life in a blur!  But that's ok.  Although the other night I was thinking about Bean and how more than half of her life with me at home is almost over and I couldn't imagine my life without my babies by my side....brought a tear to my eye.

But on a happier note, I'm here to share a Bugaboo card using an older but still much loved image.  Actually, I've had this one for a while and never colored her up:

She is Bugaboo Stamp Kidz Daisy.  Daisies are my favorite flower!  I'm also using Sentimentals Cricut Cart for the stamp die cut.  Also, for more Bugaboo inspiration, please visit Catch the Bug Blog.  So just a short post today.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.

Anyway, I made her teacher card and I'm also working on a few other non-card  things for some of the other people at their school.  For this I used Create a Critter Cricut cart, and a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin sentiment.  Just a couple more days to the first day of school!!  Thanks for taking a peek.

I loved her simple design and didn't want to change it - my only addition was the sewing.  I really do love all the inspiration out there.  I don't feel I do well at masculine cards, but I think this will make for a perfect guy-birthday-card!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

This will also be entered in the following: Crafting With Friends: Anything Goes, and Simply Papercraft: Anything Goes.

Bugaboo Christmas Tags

Hello and hope you are having a wonderful week!  As for me, been busy with work, VBS, and trying to catch all the back to school sales.  I probably spend more in gas going from store to store just to get pencils and crayons for 25cents each.

Anyway, Christmas in July is still in full swing at Catch the Bug.  Monday was ABC day (Anything But a Card) - but you have until tomorrow to enter ANY of the challenges.

I made a couple very quick tags - using non-traditional colors and paint samples from Home Depot (that have been lying around for a few years).  So, this is just a reminder to enter any or all challenges by tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Teal Snowman Fancy Fold Christmas Card

Hello and hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  Today I'm sharing a card to kick off the Christmas in July Celebration at Catch the Bug Blog!  All week long there will be mini-challenges and today's challenge is Sparkle & Shine!

I'm featuring the snowman from the Bugaboo Stamps Christmas Blocks Digi Stamp set.  So there are three adorable images - and I enlarged it and used just the snowman.  I used sequins for the sparkle, and if you look closely, I added a little shine to his nose and hat.

Not only that, but I even made this a fancy fold!  I saw this on pinterest and just HAD to try it for myself.  Super simple and I think it really adds interest.  Plus it got me out of my usual rectangle rut for a brief moment.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit.  So join us all week long with lots of inspiration and chances to win Bugaboo Stamps.

Picking Flowers with Bugaboo Stamps

Hello all and happy Saturday!  The current challenge at Catch the Bug is: Outdoor Fun.

So join in if possible this week!
