New Release Day At Bugaboo

 How cute is this pair of shoes? Today over at Bugaboo Jodie has a bunch of new shoes for you. I could never walk in these things but I could just put one on and look at it. Oh if I were only 30 years younger ( or at least my knees) I could be a shoe Ho again.  So anyway you really should run over to Bugaboo and check out the projects that the Design team came up with for you today. Then run over to the Bugaboo Store and grab some of these shoes for yourself. There is still time to take advantage of the November Sale.
     For this card today I went into my Black and White stash and also did some embossing with some of my Christmas Sizzix embossing folders. It is hard to tell in this folder but I used Black flocking on the black part of the shoe and then Crystal Effects on the red heels and berries. I love how this turned out. Hope you like it too.

Have a great day.

A Special Greeting

 Jodie

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

I really hope you have the best day today. I know that you still have kids to take care of but the rest of the day belongs to you! Pamper yourself! Play some tunes (on your new keyboard) , take a hot bath and eat some bon bons. Yummmmm.

I just wanted to let you know that You are A Very Special Lady and we all love you for all the wonderful things you do for us. 

Hugs and more hugs on your special day!

Now hop on over to Michele's place for your next Happy, Happy!

I hope everyone has a great day today.

Black Friday on Saturday?

The Challenge this week at Bugaboo is to make a card or project that is all about shopping. I was not going to go out yesterday , I was determined not to go out, I was going to spend my day in my Jammies.   Ha Ha Ha on me once again. I have very little self control when it comes to a sale, what was I thinking? But I only went to 3 stores. Does that count? And I waited until 8 o'clock.

So yes I was one of those Crazy Psycho shoppers. How about you all?

I hope you run over to the Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has to share with you today. Talk about some fun creations. And don't forget to head over to the SHOP and grab up some images. There are only 4 days left for the 50% off SALE for November.

Do come and join us this week for ou Challenge and you may win some free Images. The usual 7,4,2. You can head over to the Challenge Blog for all the details.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Friday Freebie at Bugaboo

Good Friday Morning and Happy Black Friday to those shoppers out there.  I am so tempted to run to a craft store or two. But first I have to show you this wonderful new image that Jodie from Bugaboo has given all os us for the Friday Freebie this week. Isn't he too cute. You really should run over to the Challenge Blog and see what all the Designers did with this image today and then get on over to the Shop and grab one for yourself. All of these little guys will be in my folder later you can bet.
     For my card today I found this template that I had made from last year and thought I have to do some more of these. Maybe I should try and make a pattern to share. I'll think about that. After I go Shopping.

This is the inside of the card. I really like this card design.

And here is a real quick look at my studio Christmas Tree Forest. I'll have more to share later.

Good Morning, Good Morning, Many Thanks

Happy Wednesday everyone. I just wanted to stop by real quick and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  

     I would like to thank all my friends at Bugaboo and our fans and followers for making this experience so great. You all have become like family in the past year and I'm especially Thankful for that. I hope everyone has a truly great day.

And then head over to the store and grab some for yourselves.

Don't forget that there is a huge sale going on at Bugaboo this month. 50% off everything. You can't pass that up now can you?

For this card today I used some papers from DCWV, some words and snowflakes from packages of table scatter from Wallmart Christmas section.  For the Image itself I colored the top with my Copics and then cut it away from the bottom. I used my trusty double sided tape on both halves only on the top half I sprinkled on clear super fine glitter and the bottom half is covered in Chartreuse colored glitter. I arranged the and attached them with pop-ups on a red piece of cardstock and trimmed that down. I colored over the candy canes and green candies one more time and there you go. A Fun and Yummy Card. 

Have a great day everyone!

Christmas Project Challenge

Good Saturday Morning Everyone. It is a rainy day here in "Sunny California" and a perfect day to stay in and get some crafting done.
Like working on a project" A Christmas Craft Project" the theme for todays Challenge over at BUGABOO. Since it is getting closer and closer to Christmas we thought it would be fun for everyone to share a project( ATC, Gift Card, Stationary, Gift Bag, Ornament.) All the usual rules apply and as always you could win Bugaboo Images. Head on over to the Challenge Blog for all the Details. And Check Out all the great projects that the Design Team has to share today.
For todays challenge I used one of Bugaboos Poppie Penguin series images and this adorable Robin from the Bugaboo November Digi Club. I used purchased glittery snowflakes ( I got mine at Target I think but they have them at craft stores and Wallmart and Dollar Store. Then I used One of the new Tim Holtz Dies for the accordian fold flower in the center and for the images I colored them with my Copics, added some double stick adhesive sheet by Be Creative Tape and added some of that lovely superfine Crystal's Glitter Ritz. Love that stuff. I went back in on some of the colors with my Copics and Gel Pens. How fun and easy are these.

And as a special treat this week Digis With Attitude is our sponsor. A random selected entrant will win a $10.00 CAD gift certificate. Do be sure and check out their images. I think you will like them.

Have a great weekend.I plan to.

Good Friday Morning

Yea It is Friday. That means the weekend is almost here. It also means Friday Freebie at Bugaboo and look at what Jodie has for you today.
My nephew turns 10 this week and this will be the best card for him. I'm pretty sure he likes Pirates. I sure like this one. You can get your own copy at the Bugaboo Store and while you are there don't forget to check out the other images that go along with this. And don't forget the BIG SALE going on right now at Bugaboo. 50% off. Woo Hoo.
And don't forget to stop by the Bugaboo Blog to see the cards the Designers made using this Image.
When I was putting this card together I was having a hard time deciding what colors to use and since all my Christmas stuff is hanging around my desk I pulled out this Basic Grey Christmas paper. It seems perfect for this. The paper under the pirate is a piece of hologram paper cut from a gift bag I picked up at the Dollar Store. Always keep your eyes open for things to use on you projects, you never know when the perfect thing will smack you in the face.

Have a great day. And don't forget to come back tomorrow to see what I have to share for the Bugaboo Challenge this week. They are pretty darn clever if I do say so myself.

It is so much fun to punch all those 1&1/4" circles out of all different pattern papers. That's what I did here using Basic Grey papers. The HO HO HO comes with the set of images from the November Release and fits perfectly in the 1" circle.

Of course the wonderful image comes from the November Release and so does the tree. You can pick them up for yourself Here.

Happy Friday To You

We all have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this day all week. Can you believe how cute this guy is? And wait till you see all the rest of the Eggberts that go along with him. As you know Jodie usually does 7 in a series and I can't wait to have them all. I plan on making an ornament or two and some more cards and He would look great on a layout.
So run, don't walk over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and see what the other Designers have to share with you today and then head over to the SHOP to pick up your FREEBIE and get the rest. Woo Hoo! There is a sale going on this month. Just think of all the Bugaboo Stamps you can buy.

New Release Tuesday

Today is new release Day at Bugaboo. Woo Hoo!
Man I love these guys. And that kid with the red hair reminds me so much of my nephew. Before Jodie started making these images I had never even seen a Harry Potter movie. Now I've watched three and I can't wait for the new one. Go figure. I'm not sure about the colors I used on these (if they are true to the character) but I sure like the way these look. I put together three different images for this card and I used papers from My Memory Box.
Run on over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and check out the projects by the Design Team and then run to the Store and pick up some for yourself. Sale is going on all month long so this is the time to stock up.

Have a Great Day.

Anything But A Card Monday

Good Monday Morning. Today is Anything But A Card Day over at Bugaboo and this week it is my turn to share a project with you. This is a timely trio for we are now into the countdown for Christmas List Days. And this project you can dress up with one of these wonderful Page Markers.
I used Bugaboo's Rudolf Images to decorate these books and the Idea came from a tutorial by Becky Roberts over at Inking Idaho. I love all her great ideas. So go check out her stuff. These wonderful page markers are made with Ribbon and some buttons and snowflakes and then a Rudolf on top.

Oh yes and a shopping list pad that I picked up at Dollar store.

For this one I tied two pieces of satin ribbon to the elastic hair band and then on the other end I stitched on a combo of a snowflake and a button.

I stitched a piece of ribbon onto the elastic hair band on this one and then layered the buttons on the other end. Measure the ribbon to fit snugly around your book cover and then just close it by putting the button into the elastic hair band. How easy is that?

I decorated the front of the notepads with paper from DCWV and the Rudolf image is colored with my Copics and then I used micro fine glitter that I picked up at the Scrapbook expo and then used Ice Stickles to cover the white around Rudolf. The Circle was cut with one of the new Nesties that I bought on Friday.

So here are the Three Notebook/To Do List covers that I did, now lets see what you can do? Drop me a comment or leave one over at Bugaboo if you make one of these so we can all see. Please.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Fairtale Challenge Blog:anything goes

The Creative Cottage # 26: embossing ( I used both wet and dry.)

One Stop Craft Challenge#105: embossing

Top Tip Tuesday: Christmas

Pile It On#44: Furry Christmas
Have a great day and I hope you all come by tomorrow.

A New Challenge At Bugaboo

Just so You don't forget.

Good Saturday Morning Everyone. I am so happy today is the weekend. And because it is Saturday that means there is a new challenge over at Bugaboo.

Today's challenge is Anything Goes. We haven't done that for awhile.

Now run on over to the Challenge Blog and check out all the great samples the Design Team has made up for you. You can find all the details for the Challenge there too.

I used papers from the Cloud 9 paper stack for this and our wonderful Poppi Penquin to make this easel card.
And because the paper was out and the new images from Novembers Digi Club Set was just sitting there I made a second easel card. I could hav kept going but I'm sure I needed to do something.....like sleep. I used colored pencils to color this with. I haven't used them for a long time because I have gone completely GaGa over Copics. I do really like the colored pencils.

Have a wonderful weekend

Not a problem at all, we welcome all applications whether you have DT experience or not, in fact we would encourage peeps with no previous DT experience to try out for our Design Team, more so over those that do, we want to give everyone a fair chance When Will the New DT Be Announced?
