Bugaboo Stamps: Scarlette | Beach

When I'm on vacation (which I left for today) the most difficult decision that I want to make is whether to lift my right hand or my left hand to signal the waiter for another pina colada. . .;)

This is a card that I made for Marji Johnson's Favorite Stamp Evah w/a Twist swap on SCS. I love digital stamps more than "regular" stamps, I love the beach, and I love Bugaboo Stamps. . .From there it was pretty easy, if not to pick a favorite, then to pick a really good one. . .;)

Supplies: Bugaboo Stamps image, PaperTrey Ink card stock, The Paper Company card stock, Oriental Trading Company designer paper, Cpic markers, Prismacolor markers, Recollections embellishments, A Muse Art Stamps sentiment.

Bugaboo Stamps: Wee Ones Cowboy | In Training

Before I get to today's post I just want to give a shout-out to Patty Gorka, Bugaboo Stamps' guest designer for April 2010. Patty's a talented crafter with a signature style that was simply perfect for Bugaboo Stamps. Patty, we'll miss you - We wish you nothing but happiness in your future endeavors!

Bugaboo Stamps has some new Freebie Friday images for you to download, and they are right up my little I-{heart}-Texas alley. . .:D After you're done checking out the store, make sure that you swing by our challenge blog, Catch the Bug, to see what the Bugaboo Stamps DT created with them.

PS. This was my attempt at Jeanie's sponging w/chalk ink tutorial. . .the crafting equivalent of trying to get my hair to look like the stylist did at the salon. . .;)

Supplies: Bugaboo Stamps image, PaperTrey Ink card stock, Creative Imaginations designer paper, Copic markers, Prismacolor markers, VersaMagic chalk ink, Stampin' Up ribbon.
