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!

As it so happens, I used one of those freebies on today's card. I couldn't help myself. Now, everyone who knows me knows I'm a crazy cat lady. But seriously, who could resist this cute little puppy? Ermagerd. He's SO adorable! Especially with that big patch around his eye and his big floppy bow. I can just imagine his cute little tale wagging.

I think this would be a perfect card to welcome a new baby boy into the world. As it happens, friends of ours are expecting a baby boy in June.

The DT were given a lovely opportunity to work with images from Stitchy Bear and I decided to use this adorable Boo Boo Bear to make a get well card.

What do you think of the bear's fur? I used a technique I learned from my friend Tanya at a class she taught some time ago. I coloured the fur with a combo of brown Copics and then put some Colorless blender onto a terry facecloth and then dabbed it onto the image to give that teddy bear texture. I think it came out quite well.

I HOPE it is stuck to something in my craft room and hasn't accidentally gone the way of the trash bin. I guess I have a really good reason to tidy up in my craft room now. BIG SIGH!)
• layout: Mojo Monday 339 (I adapted it from the skinny profile to a square card)
• Spellbinders Petite Ovals

Sister Act Card Challenge #43 - with Paper Nest Dolls

Hi folks!

It's Friday so that means it is time for me to share my latest creation for our weekly "Anything Goes" challenge over at the Sister Act Card Challenge!

As you probably know by now, the rules for joining in our 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 - PaperNestDolls! I can't wait to check our your fabulous creations!

For my creation this week, I'm using Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls.

I don't know about you but where I am (Ottawa, Canada) it's the middle of what seems like a VERY long, cold winter and I really needed to make a bright and cheerful card to chase away the winter greys. I'm planning on giving this card to one of the members of my T.O.P.S. weight loss support group as a message of encouragement. I reached my own goal more than a year ago so I know how difficult a struggle it can be to get to your goal and to maintain it.
