Thursday's Catch The Bug Challenge

Today's project was to make anything that has to do with snow. I love the little penguin with his arms full of snowballs, I just knew that I had to use him for this project. I sure am getting my Christmas cards done early thanks to this challenge!

Here is my card for today's challenge:



Catch The Bug Challenge Thursday: Snow Business, any project with Snow!

I almost didn't get my card done for today's challenge because we went to Denali yesterday and didn't get home until really late. But it was so worth it since Mt. McKinley was out in full view for us all day! It was a wonderful day and I somehow did manage to get my card done. =)




Have a wonderful day!

I used the Har Repotter gentle one digi stamp from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I think these are one of my favorite stamps sets, I just love all things Harry Potter! I used paper and bling that I had on hand. I'm so glad I'm getting a head start on making my Christmas Cards thanks to this challenge!

Dustin Pike Challenge - Hot and Bothered






This week the challenge was to create something summer themed, wet and wild or sun filled. I don't think there is anything that says summer more than fishing! =) I used Bic Mark It pens to color the images. I haven't really used them before and I think they did an OK job. =) You can find the challenge here along with all of Dustin's awesome digi stamps for sale and a few freebies too!

I love the Har Repotter stamps from Bugaboo, they are just so darn cute!

Lemon & Lavender



I love this little fairy from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I think she looks so cute in yellow and purple. I made this little card for two challenges. Here are the links to both of them:

Simon Says Stamps use LAVENDER & LEMON

Peachy Keen Stamps use this sketch


This was my first Simon Says challenge and my second Peachy Keen. I thought it would be easy to make a card when you follow easy direction such as use yellow and purple and follow the sketch provided. It was a lot harder than I thought and took me a few days to come up with the final card. I like the way it turned out though. =)



Have a great day!
