Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge,
Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today
Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!
If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find
Bugaboo Stamps at
Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the
Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at
Catch the Bug.
Every month I will be joined by a Guest Designer and for March I am pleased to welcome Mel:
Hello my name is Mel(anie). I'm a 32 year old mum to 5 girls from the beautiful north of germany.Married to the love of my life who is actually from the Uk and who I could inspire of being creative himself as well .
I have been creative all my life. Been trying all sorts of things...silk painting, candle making, painting, woodcarving, polymer clay , sewing and of course my biggest love PAPERCRAFTS. I love my stamps and trying new techniques but spare time is rare as I not only have a big family but aswell my own business.
But still...letting my self go in creativity is my way of relaxing and sometimes I craft through the night and forget to sleep.
I feel very honoured to be Hazels Guest Designer for march and hope you like what I have created for you.
I would love if you would pop by on my Blog: http://mel-alittlesomething.blogspot.de/ or even take part on my own challenge Blog: http://creativecornerchallenges.blogspot.de/
Please visit Mel's blog and leave her a comment.
Mel has produced four cards using images that were kindly supplied by Bugaboo - this first card uses 'JJ Christmas cheers':
For her second card, Mel has used 'make it snappy reindeer trio':
The third card depicts the delightful 'winter birds skate':
And for the fourth card Mel has used 'sassy gal Christmas':
For my first card I've used the Bugaboo image 'skates' to make a CAS card - more details on My Crafty Outlook
here.
Thought it was about time to share some of my other Christmas cards I've made since then (meant to add them much earlier):
And these are my cards for
CHNC challenge 118 - would love to see you there as well.
You may add any Christmas card to this challenge
it's 'anything goes' every month
There really aren't any rules as such - just have a look at what I've written on the right hand sidebar and join in! You may link as many entries as you like as long as they weren't blogged before 1 March 2013.
Weekly challenges will continue on my CHNC challenge blog - these usually have a theme - but any card that you enter there can be entered here as well, so you increase your chance of winning a prize.
And, of course, you can chat about this monthly challenge extra blog on the CHNC facebook page as well - if you haven't joined that yet, please follow the link and 'like' the page.
