Dog Days of Summer Challenge

That's right it is time for another challenge over at Catch the Bug.  Schools are starting so that means that summer has come to an end but we here at Bugaboo would like to celebrate summer with our challenge.  So what do you need to do, use any animal image on your card and use neutral colors with 1 color of your choice.

Catch the bug is also being sponsored by Stampin Dragon Designs who has some awesome images so make sure you check out their store!

This card was used in the following challenge:

Mini pizza box

I was messing around with one of my Elisabeth Bell digi's the other night and thought it would look cute with some paper I got through Memory Works.  After figuring out what papers I wanted to use, I thought I'd try making a mini pizza box.  I've always wanted to make one of these but just haven't sat down to do it.

Here is the final project:

OBG Thursday at Bugaboo Stamps

wow is it Thursday already?  I'm telling you this week is flying by but I think it's cause I'm excited to see Abby at her very first soccer practice.  That girl is super excited to go play with kids that she has been talking about it for weeks!  Now I know there isn't going to be much "soccer" going on considering it's a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds but it's going to be cute :)
Anyway on to todays post.  I pulled out an image of jesse bear that I have had colored in for a long time now and sat down to make this card.  This card would be perfect for any occassion for that special little boy :)  Now only if I had someone to give it too....oh well lol

 This card was entered in the following challenge:  Colour Create Challenge Blog

Just because card

This week over at the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge blog, the challenge is to "Strip it down".  Now as scary as that may sound, all you have to do is have no more than 2 dp layers on the card.  I've had this Cherry Emma by CC Designs colored in for a long time now and just haven't figured out what to do with her.  So along with using Lisa Summerhays' card for inspiration and this is what I came up with:

OBG Thursday at Bugaboo

and I almost missed it!  It's been a very stressful week for me and because of this all  my projects have been put neglected until the very last minute.  Thanks to my big sister, things are going to be all right.  She is the one person I know I can count on when things are tough now that my mom is gone.
So on to today's post.  I used a tutorial I found on the fabulous Scrappy's blog, that you can find here.  This cute little "purse" is so quick to make that I made another one for my other DT project...stay tuned for tomorrow :)

Spread a little Christmas Cheer.....

under the mistltoe with me......Okay maybe not LOL
For today I thought I'd make a christmas card.  Now I really don't know why I decided to go with this theme cause I'm really not in the Christmas mood and half way through I started struggling with it.  BUT, here is the card I came up with.

I used the Christmas Sassy girl from Bugaboo for the card and added some red stickles to her dress.  Now I have come to realize I need some new christmas papers cause everything I had wasn't working for me :/  The red flower in the corner, was my first attempt at making homemade flowers....now I cheated though cause I used the flower die from My favorite things BUT I have done some with it LOL

This card was entered in the following challenge

Hello it's me again!!

I have received numorous emails about my blog change and how they wish I'd stayed with blogger.  So with keeping my blogging friends happy and wanting to come back I will be moving any posts since the beginning of August back here to blogger.

You will be seeing some changes on here so please be patient while I get things moved around and organized.   

I'm sorry for the constant switching but I promise this will be it :)

Hugs,

Think Ink #26

This week's Think Ink challenge was brought to you by none other than me :)   The challenge I choose was to create a non-standard card (gate fold, easel card, etc.) and you MUST use purple (my FAVORITE color ;) ).

For my creation I made an easel card and used Berry Picking, which is clearanced so if you like it hurry over to the store and grab it before it's gone!   I didn't want her picking berries so I took some lavender flowersoft and made the berry bush into a flower bush.

Oldie but Goodie Day

It's really hard to think that any of these images are "old" but we still like to bring out some of the "older" images that you may have not seen in a while.  I used this image recently on some birthday invites and had a few left over that were colored in so I created this birthday card with one of them.

The image used is Isabella at the Beach she is part of the Bugaboo Brat collection, which I think has to be one of my favorites at Bugaboo--I can't seem to get of enough of them :)

Don't forget the Moving Sale at Bugaboo Stamps has been extended through August 10th. Go a grab your favorite must have Bugaboo Stamps at 50% off before it's too late! 

This card was used in the following challenges:
