February BINGO Challenge at Catch the Bug Blog

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! We are hosting our monthly B-I-N-G-O Card Challenge! 

Without further ado , here is this weeks Catch the Bug 

Bingo Card:

Isn't this BINGO Card the coolest?! So many choices!

You may choose three squares: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal!

I chose to use the first column of requirements for my card this week (Red, Paper Piecing, Ribbon).
I am stretching it a bit on my "ribbon", as I am including the ribbon on the image, around the balloon, as my qualification. I know, I know.....(bows head in shame)! I didn't want to use any real ribbon on this card, as it has to be mailed to my sweet little niece. You'll give me a "pass" on this, right?!

My card features one of the Bugaboo Stamps,  Kidz Girl - Hot Air Balloon image!

 It, and the other great Kidz images, are available in the Bugaboo Stamps Store! Hop on over and check them out!

I used an SVG banner that I made for the border on this card. I created a shadow for it, then used the red heart cutouts beneath that for a little something "extra". I also added a tiny heart punch to the balloon. My dp is something I made in PSE. The scallop oval and oval are Spellbinders dies.

Humor Me Wednesday!

Hi, everyone!

We all know about holidays through the year such as Valentine's Day, Easter, July 4th and Christmas, but what about those oft-forgotten, completely crazy head-scratcher holidays that are rarely heard of, and often laughable?! Well.........at Catch the Bug we will be highlighting some of the whacky holidays each week with some great projects and cards to depict them! We're calling it

Humor Me Wednesday!

We hope you will join us in the fun each week: take a peek at some of the different days by visiting the talented DT members for Bugaboo Stamps for some inspiration. Most holidays are just belly-busters, while others are just plain fun! :0) We are choosing holidays from each week for the Humor Me Wednesday creations, so we aren't all covering the same one. We're hoping this offers you that much more inspiration and fun! :0)

For my card today, I chose to use the Jan 6 holiday: Cuddle Up Day.

While this one isn't a funny card or subject, I thought this was actually a very good way to celebrate a day, don't you? I even told hubby what day it was, so we spent it by cuddling up with a movie together on the couch for a few hours. Sometimes he's such a sweetie......okay, MOST times he is! :0) I'm a lucky lady!

Three Designer Papers!

Here's my card for this one! I am so in love with the new Guinea Pig critter that Jodie has drawn for today's freebie! I think he is so stinkin' CUTE!! I had a guinea pig when I was a little girl, but only for a short time (my mom decided she didn't like him, so off to aunties house he went!) I did have hamsters when I was in my 'tweens, and I tried to color this guy after the way one of my Teddy Bear Hansters was colored.....a soft golden brown.  :0)

Now that you've been inspired ( I hope!), why not head over to pick up this cutie for yourself?
