Whose A Happy Camper?

You will be when you see the New Release image from Bugaboo Stamps.  He's  AKV Men Camping and he's got his gear on and he's ready to be yours!  

Check out the card I made featuring him:

Using the PNG file, I copied this image onto an outdoor background using PSE 12 and then colored him using Copic markers.  This was the first time for me to try this technique and I have to tell you, my fingers thanked me.  No more cutting with those tiny scissors.

That's all I have for today.  Don't forget to check out the new release images at Bugaboo Stamps.

Until next time, have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  TTFN

He's A Rockin Dude

And he's part of this week's New Release images from Bugaboo Stamps.  He's Johnny guitar!  Check him out.  He's perfect for masculine cards of all kinds but I chose to make a birthday card with him.

I printed the image on white card stock and colored it using a combination of copic markers and prismacolor pencils.  The background paper was made by printing the guitar sheet music to Happy Birthday on yellow card stock.  The sentiment was also created using my computer and print shop.  Pretty easy and oh so fun!

Freebie Friday HB Hero-Bugaboo Stamps

It's that time again!  Time for this weeks Freebie Friday image from Bugaboo Stamps!  You are gonna love this little man!  I know I do!  My husband put in eight years in the Army so this one is very near and dear to my heart!  I so appreciate the fine men and women of the armed forces and the sacrifice that they make for our freedom.   

A Kids View-Army Truck

I printed this little guy on white card stock and colored him using copic markers.  Since this card is masculine I kept it pretty clean and simple.  The inside reads, "You're my Hero and I want to be just like you!  Happy Birthday!

Don't forget to pick up your free image at Bugaboo Stamps and for more great card creations using this image,  check out the fun stuff the team at Catch The Bug created!

By Lori Designs challenge 8

Good morning!  I have a few things to be excited about today but I'll share the stamping stuff first. 

A couple of weeks ago, the card I made for the weekly By Lori Designs challenge was chosen as the top lollipop of the week.  With that win comes a cool badge to be displayed on my blog and chance to guest design on one of their upcoming challenges.  Well, today is that day.  Yippee!  Here are the colors for this weeks challenge

Another one of the perks to winning the challenge was the choice of a new image.  I've been trying to make more masculine cards so I chose this uber cute Lollipop Ethan image and since the colors this week are blues and greens, I thought he would be the perfect choice for my card.

I started my card by printing the image on white card stock and also on plaid designer paper and then paper piecing the camp shirt.  The dp was originally yellow and blue but I colored it with my green galore marker from stampin up to match the challenge  colors.  The rest of the Ethan image was colored using prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up's All About U set (retired).

We'd love for you to join us in this weeks challenge.  Just make a card using the colors above and link it back to the By Lori Designs site by Wednesday 12 midnight.  It's that easy and you have the chance to be named the"Top Lollipop" for the week.

That's the stamping stuff, now the personal stuff.  Can anyone say, "Spring Break"?!!!!   Yeah baby!  Next week is spring break and I can't wait.  A whole week of not getting up before the sun rises, sitting on the banks fishing or just dangling my feet in the water, and hanging out with my favorite people in the world  is gonna be awesome.  I'll miss my stamping friends, but I'll be back online the week after next.   I have a few posts set for autopost and fingers crossed, nothing will go wrong with blogger and they will post but I won't be able to check on them.  It's gonna be a time to focus on family and nothing else so no internet. 

Until next time, have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  TTFN

Hugs, Becky
