Time to TOUCHDOWN another year

I'm late posting the Friday Freebie for Catch the Bug with this adorable Bugaboo Brat Football. I made this a center step card.   I colored him for the Green Bay Packers and the sentiment is computer generated. Since I graduated from UW-Madison I am also a big Badgers fan so he would also look good in Red and White, lol. I have also attended Packer games because most of Wisconsin is a Packer fan if they were born here.  Actually a couple of weeks ago I went to visit my children and we were all dressed in our gear for the game.

Dear Autumn: Thank you

I have to remember to use other brands once in awhile and I just love Mo Manning especially this Liam in the Leaves along with a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I have tons of leaves that need to be raked; however, there is now snow piled on top and I don't know that we are going to have weather that will cooperate with being able to get them cleaned up anytime soon. We had the other snow melt, but are getting another couple of inches, but the temp is dropping to 29F/ -1.7C today! YIKES!!! We just aren't ready for this. Not like we have a choice...scarves, hats, mittens and boots.

I'm so pumped!

Today is a new release day at Catch the Bug and for my second card I used the image Bugaboo Brat Diabetic Girl.  The sentiment is computer generated and I punched out the flowers.  I have been diabetic since I was 11 so it's been 40 years now.  And I have had an insulin pump for over 20 years. I plan to donate these cards to my Diabetic Nurse Educator to give to new diabetics.

If you have...fatigue, thirst, hunger, unexplained weight loss, excessive urination, frequent infections or infections that won't heal, blurry vision, dry mouth, headaches, tingling in your fingers or toes please see your doctor for a blood test for diabetes.

Let's get metered!

Today at Catch the Bug is New Release day and there are two new images since this is near and dear to me...I made two cards using both images.  For my first card, I used Bugaboo Brat Diabetic Boy who is testing his blood glucose.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Since I have been diabetic since the age of 11 so for 40 years these are just adorable. I will donate these cards to my Diabetic Nurse Educator to give to new diabetic children that are diagnosed.

Today I am posting a sympathy card that I made using a sketch from Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge.  For this card, I heat embossed a sentiment from a retired Verve stamp set. I added some punched butterflies and a flower.
I can't believe that's November 1st already. Last night for Halloween we had 4 inches of snow for the kids to trudge through....I didn't even have a chance to get my steps shoveled off, argh. It took my 1.5 hours to get to work. I love snow on my cards just don't like driving in it, lol.

Winter Snowman

Today at Catch the Bug it's New Release day or an image has been added to the new store that was from the old store.  Today we have Snowman Winter.  I added Stickles to the snow areas and some bling to the snowflakes. And I went with a traditional red and green...I know shocking since I do prefer non-traditional colors.  Welcome to Claudia, my new follower, if you leave a comment with your blog address I will follow you too.
