Challenge Time

Welcome to another challenge day at Bugaboo Stamps and Catch the Bug. Today the challenge is to use warm colors AND paper piecing. This was a tough one for me. First of all I had to look up what warm colors are :) and, to be honest, I'm not that skilled with scissors so paper piecing always scares me. Luckily, I found this adorable Itchy Dog image and his easy to cut out sweater:

Are you up for the challenge? Come on, if I can do it, you can do it. And to save you having to look it up yourself, warm colors are yellows, oranges, hot pink...you get the idea. I hope you'll join us.

Thank you

You can never have too many "Thank You" cards, right? I mean, I found that out when Kyle was trying to send thank yous and all the cards I had were too "babyish" or "girly"for him. Since then, I've been trying to make at least a few cards that are more guyish, but I'm not sure this qualifies, just because it has a boy image. This is Deacon Skull Flower from Bugaboo.

Challenges:
Speedy the Cat: Embossing
All Sorts: framed
Crafty Anns: Scallops/fancy borders
Stamp Something: thank you
Papertake Weekly: use die cuts
Pollycraft: fall colors

ABC Day

Hey! It's ABC (anything but a card) day at Bugaboo stamps and today it's my turn to show you that I CAN make something other than a card (it's hard-but I can sometimes manage to do it!)
Today I made this little bag:

I used the always cute Critter Balloon Bear. Here's a closeup:

This bag is the right size to hold two or three cards with envelopes so it's perfect for sharing some of your awesome card creations.
