Twelve Days of Christmas-Day 1

Welcome to the Bugaboo Twelve Days of Christmas! Are you ready to play along with a different challenge every day for the next 12 days? I hope so because you could win fabulous Bugaboo images.
So let's get started. Based on the "12 Days of Christmas" song, day one is "a partridge in a pear tree" so the challenge today is to use a tree on your creation. In the paper, in the image...anything as long as you have a tree on your creation AND it's Christmas-y. It IS the 12 Days of Christmas after all. :)
I used this "Santa Tree" image from Bugaboo:

Now it's your turn to play along. Create your "tree" project and link it up over at Catch the Bug so you can be in the running for prizes!

AI Factory: Use Red
Aud Sentiments: Any Winter Holiday Sentiment

New Month...New Theme

As November was obviously AKV Fall month, December is going to be a little more general theme of "Christmas". Original, I know. :) It will probably mostly be snowmen but I might throw in an occasional santa or something else. Today I'm jumping right in with a snowman:

How bout you do something similar and get a start on your Christmas cards? You'll be glad you did. While you're thinking about it, head over to the Catch the Bug Blog and see what the rest of the Bugaboo DT has created for you today.

New Release Day

Hooray for Tuesday! It's New Release Day at Bugaboo Stamps and today, Jodie is introducing us to her new Prim Angel:

Technically, this is a Christmas Prim Angel but I think it can be used for things other than Christmas so I went ahead and made a thank you card with it. :)
Head over to the Catch the Bug blog to see the rest of the DTs creations and then head over to the Bugaboo Stamps store to pick this one up for yourself!

Silver Black and Bling Challenge

Today's challenge is gearing you up for all those sparkly holiday parties you're going to be going to. The challenge is to use silver and black and add some bling. Of course I thought of Scarlette in her cape dress. What better image to glam up for the holidays:

And a closeup of the dress so you can see the glitter:

Now it's your turn to create something blingy, black and silver and enter it in the Catch the Bug challenge to be in the running for prizes
