Bugaboo Stamps - Day 7

The last day of our week long celebration for Christmas in July at Bugaboo Stamps.  I have had a great time stretching myself to complete this seven day challenge.  Thank you Jodie for all the fun and the Friday Freebie, although I already had it in my Bugaboo stash.

Day 7 is


Of course I chose Reindeer Trio to play with and this is the card I came up with.  I hope you like it.




MERRY CHRISTMAS IN JULY EVERYONE!

Bugaboo Stamps - Day 6

Day 6's theme is something we definitely don't experience in Australia - a White Christmas!




I chose two Bugaboo images to make my scene, AKV Deer and Merry Christmas Tree.  I printed the images on some digital paper, left the tree white and coloured the decorations with atyou Spica glitter pens. 






Bugaboo Stamps Day 5


Day 5 and I chose Home Alone.  BugBoySidePeeker reminds me of Macaulay Culkin sneeking around protecting himself and house against two con men.  The quote I have used is from Home Alone.








Bugaboo Stamps - Day 4

Day 4 is Bingo and the movie is Elf.  I chose the diagonal line featuring Pattern Paper, Bugaboo image (of course) and brads or pearls.




I could not go past using this little cutie, Brat Boy Elf Sitter for this card and with his arms like that, I came up with the quote myself.  He sure looks as if he is over Christmas, too much hard work lol.


Bugaboo Stamps - Day 3



Day 3 of the Bugaboo Christmas in July challenge presents us with this challenge.


I chose to make a tag, we all use tags when giving gifts.  The Bugaboo image is AKV Santa Sled because we all know Santa comes to town in his sled.







Bugaboo Stamps Day 2 Christmas in July challenges

Day 2 of the 9th Christmas in July week of challenges with Bugaboo Stamps.


The first thing of thought of with this movie was Bells, so I searched my Bugaboo images for bells.  I found Make it Snappy - Greetings Bells.  I used a portion of this digi for the oval.

Beccy's Place July Challenge

Thank you Beccy for this beautiful image.  I love flannel flowers and wattle, what a beautiful combination.  Unfortunately I have tried growing flannel flowers without success, but now I have this image from Beccy so all is not lost.

I chose to use this image on a sympathy card for a local family whom we have known since our daughters were at primary school.  The girls are now women.  Her Mum has lost her battle with cancer and we will be attending a celebration of her life this week.

The Outlawz Progressive Challenge - July 2019

This month's Progressive image is "Sophie Colouring" by Little Blue Button Stamps.

I have made an ATC for my own collection because I just love anything with a cat on it. I had made some backgrounds on ATC-sized chipboard to have in my stash and grabbed one of those and fussy cut Sophie to fit the ATC.  The quote is one of my own.  Hope you like my ATC.

SheepSki Designs July 2019 Blog Challenge

This month's Blog Challenge theme is "Early Christmas/Winter"  I have chosen the little winter cuties "Huddle" to work with.  I was looking for a wintry background for my Aussie Christmas in July card and found one on Etsy.  I think it suited my little penguin friends.  Of course, I have coloured the image with Copics and added some chipboard snowflakes coloured in all sorts of mediums to achieve the effect I wanted, a few layers of whatever white I had, finishing with white Wink of Stella.  I hope you like it.
