Howdy!

Look who's come out to play again! It's the Bugaboo Cowboy. Isn't he just fantastic?

I wanted to play with the Charisma Challenge this week which is to use Die Cuts. Now, a confession, I've had this stars sizzix dies for a few years and it has barely been used. I thought this challenge would be a brilliant reason to get it out and get it cutting. Well I think It'll be used plenty more again! I really like how these layered stars turned out. I used them on Mellow Moss and Soft Suede cardstock and DSP. The Mellow Moss DSP was from the hostess gift section.

The DSP at the top of the card is just a small piece which was scrap from another project. The stars have also been cut from scrap bits too. This means I can enter it for Digital Tuesday's 'use your scraps' challenge.

The sentiment is from SU, stamped using Chocolate Chip ink so that it is darker and matches all the doodling. I like how the doodling adds to the stars, they looked a bit bare without it.

Expect to see more stars soon!

I was inspired today by the Digital Tuesday challenge which is 'Use your Scraps'. I created a card and a matching small gift using scrap bits of paper and card. Being a digital challenge, I have used a Bugaboo image from the A Kids View Men section.

 The border of the card was made using 1 inch squares to create a border. All the papers used are from the Stampin Up Chocolate Chip paper pack. I use so much of this colour that I had lots of small scraps that I trimmed down.

I printed out a few extra copies of the golfing image and decoupaged it up. Decoupaging is the theme this week at Cards for Men so I'm going to enter this card into that challenge too.

Here's a quick and easy topper made to fit onto an ATC bag! Again, I used scraps to complete this project. The 'golf balls' inside are actually sweets found at a Sugarcane.

Digital Tuesday #66

The theme for the current challenge at Digital Tuesday is RED, WHITE and BLUE. I have created this set of ATCs which fit in here and also can be used for a swap. The image is from Bugaboo's A Kids View Summer range.

I'm also using these for my ATC Swap at ATC SWAPPERS as our theme is Seeing Quadruple (making sets of identical ATCs). If you are interested in swapping ATCs then please check us out.

  

I'm also entering these into Aly's Sunday Challenge which has a theme of Red, White or Blue or you can use a combo of all 3 like I have.

Challenge #52 at Digital Tuesday is 'Scrap It'. They want you to use scraps on your card. I've used some left over Bashful Blue paper from SU to create a border. It's a very CAS Card but I like it. The image is from Bugaboo.

I'm going to wait until I need the card before adding a sentiment to the bottom right corner as I think it's versatile enough for a few occasions.
