Sister Act Card Challenge #63 with Bugaboo Stamps

Hi folks!

It's Friday so that means it is time for me to share my final creation for the weekly "Anything Goes" card challenge over at the Sister Act Card Challenge! Life is getting crazy busy for me these days and I figured it was time to wind up my design team term. It's been a fantastic experience and a wonderful opportunity to work with digital images from so many fabulous sponsors week in and week out. A special thank you to Trish and Jenn for the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the team.

As you probably know by now, the rules for joining in the weekly challenge are pretty simple - anything goes as long as it is a new card of your own creation! Just join in the fun by linking up to your blog post featuring your lovely creation and you will be in the running for the prize offered by this week's sponsor - Bugaboo Stamps!

psst. Every Friday, Bugaboo offers a freebie image that is available all weekend. Just add it to your cart, check out and it's there for you to download!

I didn't get a chance to create a card with a Bugaboo image this week, but I DID play with some new supplies I STILL had on my desk from making this card for the challenge THREE weeks ago!

A co-worker is retiring later this summer and he is an avid fisherman so I thought this card would make for a fantastic send-off - particularly since I picked up a beautiful fly-fishing print for him as a retirement present.

card details:

• finished size: 6 x 6 inches, CTMH Chocolate card stock base, Kraft card stock mats
• patterned paper: CTMH Timberline, edges inked with CTMH Chocolate
• stamps: CTMH D1580 Catch You Later, stamped with CTMH Ponderosa Pine
• embellishments: butcher's twine and a brad from my stash

challenges for this card:

• Simon Says: Anything Goes

As always, thanks so very much for stopping by for a visit!

Hi folks,

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a co-worker who retired on Friday. He realized he didn't really NEED to work any longer so ... he isn't! He's retiring from the work force and planning on enjoying his summer and all that life has to bring. I though the sentiment I used on his card was perfect.

card details:

• finished size: 5.5 x 5.5 inches, kraft card stock base
• patterned papers: Carta Bella "Giddy Up", edges distressed
• stamps: My Mind's Eye - Find Your Wings and Fly "Up and Away" stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa
• embellishments: CTMH Brads
• layout: Mojo Monday 346

challenges for this card:

• Simon Says: Anything Goes

As always, thanks for stopping by!
