Bugaboo Stamps Frame it - Stella and Gus - person to annoy

I have a very good friend who is celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. Well, I think I have mentioned before, I just love Bugaboo Stella images, so her card just had to have Stella and Gus make an appearance.  I made the card with the basics of what I wanted to use.  It had to have some gold on it for 50 years and I just wanted something clean and simple to showcase Stella and Gus.  I was just about to add some bling, when I thought I would check out the Bugaboo challenges, over at http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com.au/.  There I spotted the Bingo challenge and thought what have we here:

I already have blue,  I can do player's choice and ribbon .......... hang on, as a friend pointed out, you have the Bugaboo image so you could go the middle line, I had the choice of two.  I looked at my alternatives, a gold bow, a vintage button or a flair button.  I think I will go with the flair button, it was gold and it had the word Together on it, perfect for an anniversary card and it flowed on so well with the sentiment I made up;  so here is the final product.  I hope you like it and I hope Gale and Colin like it.

Oddball Art Co. ATC Swap January 2018

I told you I was expanding my horizons being on the Oddball DT. Now my fellow members have me doing ATCs!  I have never attempted this before, so hang on for a ride into uncharted territory. Well here they are - not 1 for the first attempt, why not be game, let's go for a set of three for the Oddball Facebook Group January ATC Swap using the January theme of "Feature a Creature".

To be honest I think I could get into this ATC craze.  Why not join me - first you have to a member of the Oddball Art Stamps group on Facebook, here is the link

I loved looking for ideas and quotes to use these images on the ATCs and can't wait to tackle the next swap.  Hope to see you there!  Bye for now and thanks for stopping by.  It's all about trying something new in 2018!
