Bugaboo Stamps & Catch the Bug: 04/24/2010

So, the challenge at Catch the Bug is April Showers, May Flowers, or both. Hmmm. . .I suppose you could use March Winds too, but that might be a bit difficult not to mention passe. . .;)

To be in compliance with the challenge, you also have to use the Scrappy Sketch below.

Catch the Bug challenge = April Showers + Scrappy Sketch.

And "they" said girls can't do math. . .;)

Upload the link to your project on Catch the Bug by 05/01/2010 at 7:00 AM EST for a chance to win one of three digi prize packs - seven, four, or two free digital images!!!

PS. It'll all make sense when you realize that her skirt is actually an umbrella. . .;)

PSS. This is a much richer blue IRL. . .:(

Bugaboo Stamps: AKV Earth Day | Earth

"And now I'm trying hard to think of something

meaningful and worthy, kind of earthy. . ."

"What Are We Gonna Do?" by Dramarama  

I hope y'all will forgive me if this isn't exactly an Oldie, but Goody, but it's Earth Day!!! And although Bugaboo Stamps just released our little Earth warrior on Tuesday, 04/20/2010, he jumped up-and-down with the world in his hands yelling, "Me! Me! Oh, pick me!" How could I not?

And speaking of Earth Day, I really need to give a shout-out to Michelle Perkett who's hosting an Earth Day Blog Hop on 04/25/2010, the deets of which are here. If you're not already familiar with Michelle's work, prepare for a feast of the senses - lush, seductive, elegant. EVOE!

Bugaboo Stamps: Bee Bear | Flowers

Thought that since it's mid-week, I'd do a little something out of the ordinary and work with colors that I NEVAH-EVAH use. . .Stampin' Up! Rich Regals. Too serious. . .too grievous. . .too imperious. . .too. . .too. . .BLECH!!! And yet, strangely satisfying with a Bugaboo Stamps' Bee Bear image. . .;)

PS. Jeanie, THE Spotted Chick, is featuring a video tutorial on her blog today for this week's Tutorial Wednesday with Bugaboo Stamps and our challenge blog, Catch the Bug. It's on sponging with chalk ink, and is sooooo freakin' cool!!!
