Great for party invites, Wish You were hers notes...You should head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has to share with you today.

Anything But A Card Over At Bugaboo

So on Mondays Bugaboo Challenge spotlights Anything But A Card projects. Today is my turn to share one with you.This time I had such a hard deciding which project I wanted to share but I decided that this one would be a great one for any occasion and it did not really take long at all. How about a Brag book? With baby's being born all the time, Kids graduating, family gatherings now that the weather is getting nice, trips; Jodie pretty much has images that you can use for anything. And I love the A Kids View Images. Everything from Baby's to House moving.
So for my project I put together a 4"X4" brag book that I will use to show case my newest grandson as soon as I get the pictures printed.
You can find Jodie's wonderful images HERE and HERE. I colored the images with Copics and the papers are Bo Bunny.

How fun would this be to have to show off a special occasion? Hope you all enjoyed the project today. Have a wonderful Memorial Day.

A new Chalenge Is Up Over At Bugaboo

Today starts the last Challenge of the month for Bugaboo and this time we have a Color Challenge for you. Wait until you see the great samples that the Design Team did up for this one. So much fun.  So as always you can head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog for all the details and to link up your project. So here is the inspiration for you:

For my Wedding Card today I used Jodie"s image Jack &Diane- Love Circle and Jack and Diane-Tag.
The papers are from a paper pad my sister gave me from Ross I think and some from a paper pad I picked up at Hobby Lobby last week.  This is meant to be a card for a wedding shower or a wedding gift. the images are colored with Copics.

 I have been paying more attention to the inside of the cards lately.

 There is a little pocket behind the ribbon.

 And you can fit a gift card on the back.

Pretty cool ! I hope you have fun with the Challenge this week and Have a great weekend.

For my card today I colored the adorable Bunny with Copics. the papers are from Bo Bunny. The butterflies are dies by Cherry Lynn, and the squares are Nellie's Choice. The green centers of the two flowers are the little stones that are used in the bottoms of flower vases. They are great for this.

 I used Liquid Pearls to decorate the rabbits shirt. He is workin in the Summer Garden.

I hope you come back tomorrow to see what I have done for the Bugaboo Challenge for the week.

Friday Freebie Over At Bugaboo

I had so much fun working on this image for the Friday Freebie At Bugaboo this week. The Design Team also has some interesting projects to share with you over at the Challenge Blog so I  hope you go check it out.
For my card I went into my Digi Paper file and pulled out two papers that I thought would go well with the image, For the top piece I got the image adjusted to the size I wanted and then adjusted the paper to the size it needed to be and then drug the image to the center of that. I just sized the background piece of paper and printed the two out.
I used my Copics to add a little color to the fins and splashes and then added Glossy effects to the entire Dolphin. Used Stckles on the splashes and then put the card all together.

 Love the rain drop I picked up in the dollar bin at one of the craft stores.  The border is a Stampin Up punch.

 I hope you all enjoy your Freebie and I hope you have a great weekend.

 I added Glossy Effects to the flower centers and the ladybug wings.

So now get on out there and lets see what you have to share with us this week.

Challenge Day At Dilly Beans

It is Friday and there is a new challenge over at the Dilly Beans Designer and Challenge Blog.
This week it's all about TEXTURE As Megan says"You can use any images you like but get creative with textures.
That could be layers of different papers, embossed paper, glitter, flock, fibers, fabrics, flowers......whatever your creative mind tells you to do! Just have fun with it."
I had so much fun going through my stash of textured papers. I kept getting sidetracked and I had to remind myself what my goal was. I have a lot of future projects laid out. These come from one of those sacks of miscellaneous papers that you find at the big Craft Stores.
I used the #367 Friendship for the sentiment and the #153 Cheshire Cat.

 Great flocked papers and fuzzy ribbon.

 Love that little gold rhinestone in his tooth.

Now lets see what you come up with. We are so pleased to see the entries growing in numbers every week. Thanks to everyone who plays along. We Love It. Have a great weekend.

Friday Freebie At Bugaboo

Happy Friday everyone. It is time for another Freebie over at Bugaboo. Jodie is so generous. So if you head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog you can check out all the projects the Design Team has to share for you today and then run over to the Bugaboo Store and get a Freebie for yourself.
For my card today I dug into my Digital Paper files and did a little maneuvering in photoshop to come up with this fun design. The main image is a png file placed on top of a piece of Digi paper that also has a tree from the elements pack and a few kites added to it. I then printed it out along with a few pieces of other digi papers and elements and started cutting and gluing. The image is colored with my Copics and then I added Glossy Accents here and there and some Stickles to the wings. .

 And I just had to add a few buttons. This is a fun way to use those Digital paper files.

I hope you all have a great Day and look forward to a glorious weekend.
