Cheryl Ann First Expressions: Anything Goes at Catch the Bug

Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday!

Today is our 12th wedding anniversary, this post was scheduled quite some time ago.....oh, I can't kid myself, most of my posts are scheduled well in advance. I may not be online much this weekend for comment approval, or to browse blogs, though. I'll definitely be back by Monday, though! I can't stay away for long! :)

Today is a new challenge day at Catch the Bug Blog, featuring all kinds of sweet Bugaboo Stamps images! Since it's the first Saturday of the month at Catch the Bug, it's an

Anything Goes

theme for our challenge this week!

Make sure you hop on by to check out all the wonderful DT eye-candy, and we hope you join us for the fun!

This card features the image Calling Bird from Bugaboo Stamps.

I started by coloring the image in PSE. I then cut out my 'hello' sentiment cut with my Silhouette Portrait machine. My dp papers are all from my scrap box. It seems no matter how much of the scrap I use, the size of the pile just never decreases! I layered several solid pieces for all the happy colors, and then used a couple punches for the zigzag and scallop borders. The flower and swirl are also punches, and the rhinestone is from my stash.

Now it's your turn to pick a favorite image, or try something new from Bugaboo Stamps, whip up your project and head on over to enter it into the Mr. Linky!

By entering your project, you could win up to TEN Bugaboo images!

Head on over to Catch the Bug to play along!

Pick up this cute Bugaboo image, and others, over at the Bugaboo Stamps Store, and make sure you also jump over to the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog: it's where you can find out all the lastest "dish" on what challenges are happening and what other challenge sites that Bugaboo is sponsoring (more chances to win some free Bugaboo!). It's also where you can check out all the other fantastic DT projects, including the OBG (Oldie But Goodie) stuff, the ABC (Anything But a Card) items, and the Tuesday New Releases......plus so much more!

One more thing before I wrap this up....be on the lookout for the upcoming Bugaboo Christmas in July Week Long Celebration! This is always a favorite, with lots of FREE images given away for participating in our challenges that week! I'll have more details on that as the date draws nearer.

Also, I am now assisting the DT Coordinator with some of the more routine things at Catch the Bug Blog to fill in some time for our wonderful Ms. Min, who is expecting Baby #1, and is happily preparing for the arrival! I'm helping out with some posting duties, and I'm also helping out by choosing a Bugaboo Stamps Fan of the Month! So......if you're a fan of Bugaboo Stamps (and who isn't, right?!), make sure you're posting your Bugaboo cards on your blog because I'm poking around Blog-land looking for YOU! :)

Happy Crafting!
