And After Your Bath

You head out to the "cafe" like Scarlette does in this image from Bugaboo Stamps called "Scarlette Cafe".

I used the recipie from Paper Sundaes which was to use 2 papers, 3 buttons and 4 flowers. This is a card that I started two other times and scrapped both times before I came up with this color combo and design and I'm really happy with how this one turned out, considering that I thought I was going to have to give up on making anything!

Just a Cute Bear

Just Cute Bears is such a great challenge. It's not really even fair to call it a challenge because for every challenge you have to use a bear on your card. Really? That's not a challenge...that's EASY! :) Bugaboo stamps released this whole line of bears last week so if for some reason you don't have any bear stamps or images in your inventory, head over to Bugaboo and pick some up so you can play along at Just Cute Bears! This week the challenge is to use a bear (of course!) and buttons and blooms.

I Can Relate

Really, I can relate to Stella in this image. Can you?

I know you all know by now that you can get Stella over at Bugaboo stamps!
I made this card with the theme from Simple Doodles which is "Celebrate"

More Marshmallow Snowmen

If you've ever been to my blog before, you know I LOOVE snowmen. In fact, I was making so many Christmas cards with snowmen that I voluntarily restricted myself from making any snowman cards for a whole week. That was NOT easy. But luckily, I'm not doing that any more because here's my second snowman card of the week, again made with one of the Marshmallow Snowmen from Bugaboo stamps.

Challenges:
Sparkle Creations Christmas Card-christmas card border punches
Crafty Hos-sketch

New Release Day at Bugaboo

YAY! It's new release day at Bugaboo stamps. In case you haven't noticed, I've been bombarding you with Bugaboo posts all month. That's because I'm really enjoying my role as the August guest DT at Bugaboo. I can't believe the month is more than half over...bummer! But, it is new release day and today Jodie is releasing this Summer Dog image, along with several others in the set.

Isn't he just the cutest? Hop over to Bugaboo and pick him up for yourself.
This card works for these challenges:
Digital Tuesday Challenge-use your scraps
Tuesday Taggers-sea, water or boats

Who Doesn't Feel This Way?

I mean, really...I think we've all felt like this at one point or another in our lives! Not only do I love the images at Bugaboo but the sentiments they have to go along with some of their images are just perfect!

I used the sketch from this week's Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge.

ABC's of Cuteness

This week, the challenge at Raise the Bar is an ABC challenge...NO, not "anything but a card" tricked you, right? This time, ABC stands for Animal, Brown and Clean and simple. I think this little bear from Bugaboo fits the challenge perfectly:

Simply a Snowman

Made out of marshmallows that is! I know, I know...it doesn't really make sense to have a snowman made out of marshmallows but this guy is so darn cute...it doesn't have to make sense. There's a whole line of Marshmallow Snowmen to choose from at Bugaboo so go check them out. For this card, I used the theme at Simply Saturday which was to make a simple, white card.

Relaxing in the Hammock

Is there a better way to spend a summer day than being lazy in an hammock? I've never owned a hammock and it's been waaay too hot here to spend much time outside, but there is something idyllic about lazing around in a hammock. This bear from Bugaboo sure makes it look good!

Challenges:
Little Red Wagon-summer theme
Teddy Stampers-teddy bear picnic

You Gotta Love Gus

Do you know Gus? He's the guy who goes along with the sassy character Stella from Bugaboo stamps. He's full of funny tidbits and quotes. You should go check him out for a chuckle.

I used the sketch from Moving Along with the Times.
