ATC for a New release

As today is a Tuesday, it can only mean one thing!

NEW RELEASE DAY AT BUGABOO!

Just check out this cute dog:

I have used him to make this ATC. I used a SU Stampin Wheel to create the background to create a tone on tone effect and finished it off with some Baker's Twine.

Stella Says Sketch...

And so here we are again, at Catch The Bug, with our demanding Stella with another sketch for us to use:

Here is my take on the sketch. As you can see, I flipped it onto it's side so that I could use this Rocket image from the AKV Astronaut range.

Used some Papertrey stamps for the starry panel and for the main star shape too.

One Stitch At A Time ~ Anything Goes

Gingerloft ~ Black White and Red

Oldie But Goodie

As it's Thursday, the Bugaboo Design Team are going to show some of the previous released images some love for Oldie But Goodie day! I haven't inked up a Superhero in ages so thought it was about time!

Flowery Inspiration

How's this for inspiration? Does the picture get your creative juices flowing? If so, then this week is the perfect chance to join in with the Bugaboo challenge over at CATCH THE BUG!

I thought this daffodils in a watering can image was perfect for this challenge. The right style and the right colours.

I'm entering it into the following challenges:

Join Bugaboo for Anything Goes

Mini Milk Carton

I can't believe Easter is nearly here. This year is flying by! Here I have used my Stampin Up Mini Milk Carton die to make a Creme Egg holder (I do love them although not had as many this year as I usually do!)

A creme egg is a perfect fit. I've used a Bugaboo rabbit digi for the front. It's called Funny Bunny Egg Tower

You ROCK!!!!

I love these new guys from Bugaboo. Here's one ready to rock out in style. I used the Grunge Me stamp set from Papertrey ink to create the background. The sentiment was also from that set. What a perfect match for this image.

I'm entering this card into Make It Monday's challenge this week.

Feeling Woolen

This week is a colour theme at Catch The Bug. Woolen hues are the choice of the week.

I chose to use Lil Dude here. I created the splattered background using a Papertrey Ink Grunge stamp set.

Remember, you don't have to use a BUGABOO image to join in but we'd love to see you use them and see what yopu create. Head on over to Catch The Bug to see all the DT inspiration and to check out the challenge details and prizes.

Tutorial Wednesday

It's my turn to share with you a tutorial for Catch The Bug's Tutorial Wednesday!!!

I've decided to show you my quick and easy method for a rocker card. I love circular cards but I hate it when they have a straight edge at the fold.

Firstly, find a circle nestability which fits your envelope.

Cut a piece of plain cardstock and your backing colour.

Fold the plain one in half.

Use a strong glue/tape to attach the base colour to the rocker. I like to use a glue gel so that I can manouver it a bit.

And there we have it - nice and easy and adds a bit of fun too when you see the card rocking back and forth.

I'm going to enter this card into the Make It Monday challenge for this week.

It's Baby Time

It's as if today's card and new release over at Bugaboo was meant to be! There's a load of new baby images being released today just as one of our DT Members announces the birth of her bundle of joy - CONGRATULATIONS LOLA!

This moon baby image is infact a Friday Freebie so make sure you check out the Bugaboo Shop for it and the rest of the bundles of fun too.

Looney Once More

Yep, another Looney Tune card today for you. this time it's the return of Bugs Bunny! The yellow circle is in fact a scrap piece leftover from one of my previous cards and so I only had to print off one sheet from the CD Rom to create this card.

This card was made for this week's Make It Monday challenge.

Hope you like it...

Yeee haw

Who's up for a rodeo today???

Well if you are, check out Bugaboo's Friday Freebie...

Kenny K meets the Bugaboo DT!

Today is a photo inspiration challenge (below) over at Catch The Bug. The card as you can see has no Bugaboo image though! That is because I have worked with this week's sponsor which is KENNY K! 

I have tried to create a funky, younger Valentine take for the card. Not too 'flowery' and 'heart'y' as that just isn't me. I took my colour choice from the picture - white (basket), pink (roses) and green (leaves). The hearts on the table inspired me to use my heart embossing folder. 

Make sure you head on over to Catch The Bug to get more inspiration and to check out all the details including what fabulous prizes there are on offer this week.

Feeling Crabby?

It's been too long since Crabby Cathy has had any love so I decided to get her out for this week's

challenge at Catch The Bug, the Bugaboo challenge blog.

I love the image and sentiment so much that I wanted to keep the layout simple.
