Catch the Bug Blog Challenge

 This Saturday's Blog Challenge is Anything Goes.  Today I am showing you a gift card I made for my Christmas card.  It is a small kraft card with a matching envelope (not shown).  I am using Christmas Cat one of my favourite images and easy and quick to colour with whatever you want to use.  I have used everyday pencils again.  On top of the kraft card I glued a red piece of paper and then used some scraps of Christmas design paper to make the background.  It is a great idea for using up scraps.

Have you started making some Christmas cards and tags yet?

Bugaboo Stamps Saturday "Anything Goes" Challenge

 We could not change the Saturday "Anything Goes" Challenge with our new format, so here is my inspiration.  The Saturday Challenge is still over at Catch the Bug Blog Challenge.  You may notice a bit of a spruce up to our banner and new tabs to click onto to get to the challenges and the Friday Freebie posts.  I have decided to use "Anything Goes" to make another Christmas card.  You can never have too many Christmas cards on hand.  I am using AKV Reindeer - Skate and here it is:

I try (and I emphasise the word TRY) to keep a stash of odd pieces of Christmas paper separate to my other pieces and the background over the white glitter square is a combination of these.  The image is matted with lime green paper and the glitter baubles from my stash.  I also have pre-made Christmas sentiments punched out as well in my Christmas stash.  I just keep them in a round Roses Chocolate tin and if it gets too full I will make a rush of cards lol.

I hope you like Bugaboo Stamps new banner for challenges and make sure you stop by the Blog soon.

See you soon,

Gail

Anything Goes

Our Saturday challenge over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog is "Anything Goes".

Do you remember all the Rottweiler digital stamps that were introduced to the shop lately?  Well I decided to use one of these for my inspiration for "Anything Goes".

I have used "Rottweiler Puppy - Bath",

I hope to see your creation in our "Anything Goes" challenge.  Maybe I will commenting on yours!

Bugaboo Stamps "Anything Goes'

This Saturday at Catch the Bug Challenge it is "Anything Goes".

Anything Goes, gives you and me a chance to do some Christmas cards.  I have chosen a kitty cat to play with "Make it Snappy - Meowy Christmas". I coloured him in Copics, giving him a Rudolph nose.  I have used a couple of chipboard embellies from Scrapmatts.

I have entered this in The Outlawz Sketch Challenge.

Bugaboo Stamps Guest DT - October 2019

I am honoured to be a guest DT for Bugaboo Stamps, as a result of my win in their Christmas in July challenge.

The first inspiration I have done is a card for Anything Goes over at Catch the Blog Challenges.

I have worked with Frame It - For You Flower.  What a lovely stamp, and so versatile, could be for any occasion.  Here is my card:

I recently bought this digi when it came out.  Mind you, when I buy,  I really have to scrutinise my stash of Bugaboo.  I have been buying Jodie's digis probably from the time I first got into digis from the old shop, and her new, so I have to regularly check if I have a new one that pops up from the old shop.

 Here is my card:

My card base is pale pink, with designer paper.  I coloured the image with copics and added three resin glitter butterflies purchased from a small Australian business Corbett Creations Wood Veneers.

I have also used a chipboard word from Make It Crafty, another favourite business of mine.

I have entered the following challenges:
