Morning Troll

Good morning! The Bugaboo DT are back from vacation and are ready to create projects for our challenges starting with today's bingo challenge.

I chose the bottom line of ribbon, no designer papers and flower then printed Bugaboo's Morning Troll out twice to pop up her hair piece, brush and sleeping mask. I took a chance using a shimmer pink paper (which was embossed with cherry blossoms) and cajun craze. Orange and pink, really...but I think it works!

Drop on by Catch the Bug and give the Bingo challenge a try, you could win fantastic stamps!

Happy Graduation

Dandelions and Butterflies

Good morning, today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and its a photo challenge.

I chose to use the colour blue and flowers as my inspiration for this card. 

I used Bugaboo's Dandelion Butterflies printed it only once, added stickles and used the sakura glitter pen on the large bubbles. When using the glitter pen on larger surfaces you can see streaks so this time I went over the pen with a copic marker...no streaks! I added black liquid pearls and embossed the background. I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to properly check that I had stamped the entire background so am a little disappointed in some of the spotty sections, but it still looks good.

Farewell Dusty

Good morning, today starts another Stella Says Sketch and the sketch was perfect for a sympathy card that I needed to make.

We walk our neighbours dog 3 times everyday and sometimes my neighbour would also sit for her sister's dog Dusty, so we would take Dusty for a walk too. Well Dusty passed away after almost 16 years and this is the card I made. I love Bugaboo's Knobby Knees images, this is Knobby Knees Girl Sorry. I printed her off twice to pop up the bow and sign.
