Friday Freebie at Bugaboo

Yey It is Friday and Super Bowl weekend and for the fans of Walking Dead a marathon on Sunday (season 1 & 2) and then one week until the Season resumes. I am just giddy. And on top of all that Jodie has this adorable image for you. It makes me sad that Valentines Day falls on the 14th because it is such a short amount of time to make cards with all the great images out there. Check out the Bugaboo Store for some fun Valentines and grab your Freebie while you are there. And don't forget to head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog to see what the girls have to share today.
For my card today I scrap lifted this layout idea from Charmaine over at Oodabug Alley. I just love her work. For my card I used papers from a new Recollections Paper Pad (Michaels) and colored the image with my Copics.

I used Stickles to add some glitz and don't you just love the Heart.

And then there is the inside ready for a greeting for your special Valentine.

I hope you all have a Great Weekend.

New Release At Bugaboo

Good Morning All. I'm late this morning because I fell asleep in the chair watching TV last night, woke up around midnight and stumbled off to bed. And then I slept in. Wow! It was a long week for me last week and my body must be playing catch-up.
So on to the New Release At Bugaboo this week. What a fun little anniversary or Valentines card.
I used papers from s.e.i. that I have had forever as well as the background circle that is fussy cut from a digital kit that I have. The background paper is a piece of Wasau metallic that I ran through my bigshot using this great heart folder.

 

I colored the image with Copics and then on the bodies I took a clear Copics and made the texture on the nut shell just by dabbing all around. Very subtle but effective.  

And inside the card.

So head on over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog to see what the Design Team has to share and then run to the Bugaboo Store to grab one for yourself.
Have a great day everyone.

Bugaboo's Friday Freebie

It is Friday again I can't believe how fast this week has flown by and that I managed to put off taking down the Christmas decorations for another week. I always have a hard time because it all looks so pretty. I did get the front room/studio cleared out and put up some valentine decorations. I still have to cut a bunch of hearts to hang from the garland. I'll get photos when I finish.
So for today's Freebie Jodie has this adorable image for you and if you head over to the Bugaboo Store you can grab one for yourself. Don't forget to stop by the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and take a peek at what the Design Team has to share with you today.

I used an assortment of  valentine papers but I think they are mostly older Bo Bunny. I just bought a new pad of valentine papers yesterday and that will be fun to play with.  The image is colored with Copics and the nose and heart is covered in Glossy Effects.

 

And a close up, there isn't so much shine on the nose on this photo.

 

And inside the card. I have a couple of friends in mind for this card.  I may have to make another one so I can send it to both of them.

I hope you all have a great weekend. I'm going to.

Don't forget, Birthday celebration is only a week away. Come join in the fun.

New Release Day At Bugaboo

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe. I talked to my youngest daughter and it is just 22 degrees in Austin, Texas. They are living in one room in an effort to conserve energy, the pipes are frozen so there is no water, so sad.
On a brighter note, today is New Release Day at Bugaboo and here s a cutie for you.
I colored the image with Copics and the papers are from a Colorboc paper pad from Wall Mart.

 

A Close-up for you. You can see the Stickles better .

 

And here is the inside.

So I hope you head over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and see what the Design team has to share today. Everyone stay safe and warm and the Bugaboo Birthday Celebration is going to be here before you know it. Come and join in the fun!
