Time to Get Sketchy-Catch The Bug

Good morning!  It's time for this weeks challenge at Catch The Bug!  This one's a sketch challenge and you can find the details on the Catch The Bug Blog!  I was in a purpley (not sure if that's a real word) kind of mood today, so I made this card featuring Bugaboo Stamps Theodore.  He's in a purpley mood too and he's thinking of you!

I colored the image using copic markers.  I used my spellbinders dies to punch out the image and also to add a little detail around the image.  The purple panel was cut using my Cricut & Elegant Edges cart.  Designer papers are from Recollections Fairy Tale Fairy Dust and Bright & Basic mat pack.

We would love for you to join us in the challenge and can't wait to see what you do with the sketch!  

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

Flowery Thoughts Of You

I don't usually post on Sundays but found myself with some time on my hands yesterday and was browsing and commenting on some cards when I came across a fun sketch challenge.  Since I'm gonna have free time this week to complete my design team stuff, I thought to myself "why not play along?"  You see, I quit my job so I can search for a job a little closer to our new home.  I've been commuting 100 miles a day for the last six weeks with my summer job painting schools (I'm a special needs assistant on the school bus during the school year).  That keeps me away from home for about twelve hours a day.  With school getting ready to start up I would have added two more hours a day to that.  Not what I wanted to do.  Soooo, since I'm jobless now and have the time to do so, I'm gonna craft til my hearts content while I wait for the next chapter of my life to start!  With all that said, here's a card I made yesterday for the current Deconstructed Sketch Challenge:

The image is Bugaboo Stamps Flower Water Can-Tulip Can and is colored using my current favorite coloring technique, watercolor pencils.  The fun designer paper is from Nana's Nursery Baby Boy and the sentiment is from Stampin Ups Greetings Galore.



I'm out of here for now!  Until next time, have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  TTFN

Exciting News

Oh my goodness will somebody please pinch me?!!!  About a week ago I got an email from Tammy Miller with "Bugaboo" in the subject line.  Tammy Miller is the design team coordinator for Catch The Bug challenges so I was a curious about what the email might contain.  When I opened it, my curiousness changed to down right excitement.  Catch the Bug was asking  me to be their Biggest Fan for March.  I love me some Bugaboo stamps so I did a little happy dance for a minute or two and then I emailed her back right away to say thanks, I would love too!  As the biggest fan, I get the privelege of participating in today's challenge with the team.  What an honor!

Today's challenge is an Anything Goes challenge and I was so excited that I made not one but two cards for it.

For my first card I colored my  Deacon Rain image using Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  To give his rain slicker a real look, I covered it with glossy accents.  The cloud was cut using my Graphically Speaking cart and Cricut.  I also ran it through the Cuttlebug using the swirls folder to give it a little more texture.  The designer paper is from my Back To Basics mat pack.  Looking at the picture now I'm thinking I might add a Cheer Up sentiment to the cloud.

For my second card, I colored this cute little Ava Flower image using Copic markers.  I fussy cut her out and layered her over a punched circle on a punched  border. I wanted this card to be sunny and cheerful so I used summer sun and some more Back To Basics paper.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Sincere Salutations set.

Aren't those some of the cutest images you've ever seen?!!!  Be sure to pop on over the Catch The Bug blog and check out the inspiration the team has created for you.  Join in on the fun, too!  You have the chance to win some free images and who knows what else it might lead too.  You might just be their  future Biggest Fan! 

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

Peek a boo, thinking of you

Hi there! Hope you're having a great weekend! I didn't think I was gonna create today cause I'm still feeling a little bit of the yuck but when I saw the challenge on Catch The Bug, I thought, hmmm I can do that!

This weeks challenge is to make a white or mostly white card and as you can see I opted for the mostly white. I love cards with a lot of white space, don't you? They just look so clean and bright.

This cute little bunny is one of the fun images in this month's 20 for 20 and isn't he adorable? I love how he's peeking around the heart.

I printed him twice and colored him with copic markers and a little bit of watercoloring. I then cut out the heart and hands and popped them up.

A while back I picked up a box of embossed cards from DCWV and the one with hearts was just perfect for today's project. The flowers along the top were cut with my cricut and george cart. I just added some ribbon, buttons and a bow and I was done.

Super quick and simple. Just what I needed today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! TTFN

Hugs, Becky
