12 Days of Gift Giving

Have you been following the 12 Days of Gift Giving with Bugaboo on Catch The Bug?

The gift I have to share with you today is a little treat box. You can find the tutorial for how to make it HERE (also a picture link in my side bar - Freddo Treat Holder)

Lili of the Valley - Bright and Beautiful

Well, what a kerfuffle! Been having major issues with my computer once again. Norton decided it didn't like Google Chrome. So I reverted back to using Internet Explorer. But that decided it didn't want to let me add pics to my blog. Think I have sorted it out now! Fingers crossed. So what have I been waiting to share with you?

Well this card for Lili op the Valley's BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL challenge. I have used Pacific Point card and ink for brightness. Coloured the central 'King' to match and then added some extra brightness with some Christmas light stamps from Papertrey Ink. The merry and bright sentiment stamp is also form PTI. Hope you like it

Stella Says Sketch

So today is the time for another STELLA SAYS SKETCH over at Catch The Bug. 

I used this Stocking Santa image from Bugaboo for my design. I really do like this Santa image, he just seems so fun with those stockings lol.

Now lets see how you interpret the sketch and share with us. All the details can be found over on the Catch The Bug blog including the prize package.

Mad Cow

These cow images from Bugaboo are great. Love this Mad Cow one.

Have teamed it up with a PTI gingham stamp and their bunting die and stamps.

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

Monchrome

Lack of colour today but it makes sense as I am using the zebra image from Bugaboo's Zoo Block Mini Set. 

This card is for today's ANYTHING GOES challenge at Bugaboo. As usual, we have a great prize package too. Take a look at CATCH THE BUG for all the details.

60th Birthday OBG

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, technical issues. Fingers crossed they are behind me now. So I'm back with an Oldie But Goodie for Bugaboo. I used Fanny Calendar Months - January for this 60th Birthday card. Hope you like it

Scarecrow Release

Well I think we totally skipped Summer over here and Autumn is arriving! 

So here's a bit of an Autumnal looking project with today's new Bugaboo release - SCARECROWS.

Friday Freebie

Check these cuties out! The are part of today's release at Bugaboo and this one is Free too. Come on over and have a look around.

Been missing

So here's the reason I've been a bit missing in action lately. Have been touring around Cyprus with my friends. Thought I'd share some of the pics with you.

August's Anything Goes

Welcome to August's

Yosemite Sam

I love this card for that generic theme. The Howdy Partner sentiment found on the Yosemite Sam decoupage sheet is so versatile. I made this wiper card to really show of the sentiment. I love how it just pops up! I used Soft Suede and Pacific Point cardstock from SU.

A Tropical Christmas

TROPICAL With the FREEBIE image!

 I have used this Santa image which is in fact one of the prizes during this celebratory week. There is a free image which we'd like you to use that is available over at Catch The Bug. It's of Santa buried in the sand!!! 

I made this extended twister easel card which I think is just a little bit different to the usual style which I like.

Lili of the Valley - Anything Goes

Here's my ANYTHING GOES entry for this week's Lili of the Valley challenge. I used a So Saffron and Old Olive colour scheme and coloured the green clothing using Spectrum Noirs (my first attempt). Need to use them a bit more to get a feel about them I think but they are so much cheaper than other pens. I glazed the ball to make it shine.

Dressing Riley

I needed to make a thank you card for one of my Cubs' Dad. Last week we had a sponsored event to raise money for new camping equipment and he went around and collected over double our target from local businesses - AMAZING!

So here's the card I made using a Riley & Co image. Their challenge is to dress it up by drawing clothes onto him by altering it. So I drew on clothes and our group necker.

Beep Beep!

I just couldn't resist using Road Runner for today's Tee Pee card. I just love the colours of this decoupage sheet from the Looney Tunes CD Rom.

Here's a picture to show how it can be put flat to go into an envelope.

Elmer Fudd

A Daffy Start To The Week

Yep, still making the most of my Looney Tune CD ROM, can you tell I love it?

This time, it's Daffy Duck who is coming to the fore.

It's been ages since I made a Tee-Pee card (you can find a tutorial I made with all easy measurements and decorating instructions in my sidebar)

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

A Little Bit Distressed

No, not me, it's the theme for this week's challenge at Lili Of The Valley's Lili's Little Fairies blog!

Here's my effort. I used Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake as my colour palette. I distressed the paper with my scissors and toned everything down to make it look more distressed by sponging everything I could with Crumb Cake ink.

Burnt to a crisp...

The theme for this week's Bugaboo challenge is

Holiday/Seasonal

in honour of the 4th of July.

I chose to use this BBQ AKV image and a Red, White and Blue colour scheme to boot. Make sure you head on over to CATCH THE BUG to see the prize packages and to have a peek at all the other DT projects.
