It's New Release Day at Bugaboo

and Jodie has once again created some more very cool images.  The one I choose to show for you today is Jesse Bear Angel, isn't he too cute for words?? :)  I created a little treat/goodie box that would be perfect for a baby shower or welcome baby gift.  Once again I used Cheryl's great tutorial on how to make bows, they are SO cool and easy to do (but they still aren't as good as her's).

Battle Royal at The Greeting Farm---PLEASE VOTE!!

I am on a team to battle each week amongst other great teams to win an awesome stamp set.  I'm posting this to ask for your vote on our card!  The teams with the most votes will move forward next week.

Here is the card we made, the theme was retro and to use the inspiration that they had on their blog (pink, brown/tan, blue).

You will have to register to vote but PLEASE do, we really want to win the stamp set :)

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

For this week, Lindsay wanted us to make anything but a card.  I've had this die from Sizzix for quite a while now and never used it so I decided to pull it out and use it.  The rattle images and the welcome baby banner are from the Babies and Bows set which can be found here.   Also the bow is made using the tutorial by Cheryl Walker, her bows are just awesome!!  The tutorial can be found here.

Fairy Lili card--Jackie R. NO PEEKING!!!

Every month over at the Inky Impressions yahoo group, we participate in a mingle.  For this month we were to create a thinking of you/hello card for our partner.  I was partnered up with Jackie and decided to use Fairy Lili, isn't she cute??  I didn't put a sentiment on it cause I figured Jackie could customize it for whatever she wanted to use it for...how's that for recycling? :)

I hope she likes it :)

Cammy Wall

What do you like to do when you are not stamping/creating cards?I'm usually chasing after my kids.  My daughter is 4.5 and my son is 2.75.  They definitely keep me on my toes.  When they are not around or are asleep, I love Law & Order (all of them), NCIS (both) and to change things up, Sex & The City.  In the summer, I do my fair share of gardening (aka weed killing) & swimming.
How would you describe your style?Oh, boy....hmmm...I think clean is most accurate, but not CAS.  Everything has to have its own place & the right place.  I'm definitely not a speedy stamper!
What craft supply could you not live without?Only one -- definitely my Cuttlebug.  Between the embossing folders and my Nesties, it is rare that I create a card without one of them.  Close runner-up would be my Copics.
What are three words that describe you best?
Dedicated, thoughtful, creative (Is that cheating?  LOL!  I hear that all the time though -- Oh, you are so creative.)
What’s the best advice that you can give to someone that wants to be on a design team?Don't be discouraged if you apply and are not picked.  It takes time and it needs to be the right fit.  Think outside the box as well with your projects -- show them how truly creative you are.  :)


When you've finished here, off you go to Rae Anne's blog and whatever news she might have for you there. . .;) In fact, why don't you visit all the blogs of the Bugaboo Stamps DT, see what's (or who's) new there, jot it down, and send it in an e-mail to tsmiller@insightbb.com. If you'll do that, we'll add your name to the pot for an additional prize drawing!!!

Artful INKables

Today marks another post for Artful INKables and I had to share this card I made using Berry Picking.  This set is so adorble and so verstatile....you could make the berries flowers even :)

I'm sorry about the quality of the picture. I took it with my phone this morning as I was running out the door to head to work.  I will put a better quality one later on tonight so you can see it clearly.

Happy Friday everyone!

EDITED: I have updated the picture, so hopefully you can see it better :)  Note to self, don't try to take a picture when you're running late for work LOL
