B is for baby

I finally completed the card for my niece who had the baby boy last week.  I used an adorable image called "baby and bunny" and made an easel card.  The sentiment is from a wonderful set at TLC.

Have a Joyous Celebration

Here is another adorable image from Bugaboo with a sentiment from TLC.  Remember the freebies only stick around for about a week so remember to get on the mailing list so you receive all the goodies.  It has a small cost, but it is worth it for all the extras.  The challenge at Catch the Bug was to use a Cream, Burgandy and Chocolate which I thought worked well with this image.  I added some die cut leaves along with some roses for the color.  I embossed the cream background with a holly leaf design to match the image.  Since the image had an ornament, I thought it was better as a round card.

It's beginning to COST

I thought this stamp was just too precious from Bugaboo since at Christmas I think everyone spends too much money.  I made it for the humor challenge for this week.  I added glossy accent to the glasses to give them a shine.

May the season of joy

I made a Christmas tag which was a challenge for the Catch the Bug Christmas in July challenge.  I used a Bugaboo image and a gorgeous sentiment from TLC.  It is wonderful to get some Christmas items done so hopefully I won't feel so overwhelmed at the holidays.  I usually try to take on too many projects so I'm sure I will be working on trying to make some gifts or something like that instead. hehe

W is for the weather

Paulette has a new set that came out which is perfect for a "Get Well" card.  The sentiment which I have on the front of the card is outlined with ink.  I used a die cut letter and wiped some acrylic paint on the front to make it fit in with the clouds.
Remember to come back on Sunday July 21st for the blog hop where I will have a free image and you will have a chance to get 12 freebies from Paulette through the TLC hop.
