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!

A Plushie New Release at Bugaboo Stamps!

It's Tuesday.......time for a Bugaboo Stamps New Release! Jodie's been hard at work on some great images, and this Plushie Reindeer is just one of them! 

I think he is so squeezable! I put together a CAS card using him, plus an embossing border folder from Cuttlebug. After I embossed, I ran a Bashful Blue marker over the raised emboss to give it some color. I thought the zipper would work out well for this cute little plushie! :0)

Weekend Freebie

Hi, everyone!
Just a quickie today - I've been feeling a bit under the weather. I made this svg thinking about the upcoming St. Patrick's Day festivities, but it would also make a great 21st birthday card, and even a masculine card! I was also thinking it would be great on a scrapbook page of photos from a night out on the town with friends. :0)

The svg contains the beer stein layers and the Cheers! sentiment. The card shown here is an A2, turned on it's side (4.25" x 5.5"). To download the freebie, visit the left sidebar of the blog and click on "Beer Steins". :0)

Happy Crafting!
