Some Peeper Pleasantries to Motivate Mr. Mojo....aka A Photo Challenge!

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! 

This week's theme is a

Photo Inspiration

(See picture toward the bottom of my post)

It's nice to have some visual inspiration, sometimes! You can choose to use the colors, the theme of the photo, or go off on a tangent because of some emotion a photo touches within your soul....however this picture inspires you, we want to see it in your project!

Now....most of us automatically think of Thanksgiving when we look at that photo, right?! And then our brains trigger the saliva glands, and we start to think about the delicious food that will be served up as our family gathers around the table.......wait...."family"!?! Oh....right!....they'll be there, too! 
Sooooo......with that in mind.....here's what I came up with for todays card!
Hehehe!

This card uses the Frame It -Red Wine image from Bugaboo Stamps. I colored it in with PSE, then added some Stickles Star Dust glitter glue to emulate bubbles in the glass, as if it were just poured (thank you, may I have another?! lol!). I used some pretty papers and metal corner brads to finish this silly card. 

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!

Today I am using the Dottie Baking image from Bugaboo Stamps.  If you've followed me for some time you know that Dottie is my favorite of the Characters that Jodie creates. She's so much fun to color! I had not used this one for quite some time, and with my recent purchase of this border for my Silhouette machine, I thought they made a great pair. 

I didn't want the border to take focus away from the image, so I created it in the darker color and left it flat and unembellished (for the most part). I did do a little bit of fine lining on it, but even that remained subtle. Dottie is popped up on pop dots to give her the dimension and the focus I was going for, while my melted Perel bead in the lower right corner draws your eye to my silly sentiment. :)

A Photo for Your Inspirational Whim!

My card features the Bugaboo Stamps Flamingo Car image. 

I kept this guy super simple, layering the image and sentiment layers on white, and then applying to a white card base. I love the way it all looks, so much bright white against the bold, bright colors. The little banners I added on the bottom are punched with one of the EK Success Mini Pennants punches.

Today's card features the image AKV Summer Sports - Biking.

I colored him up in PSE, adding my sentiment using a font called Party LET.

I used my Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders die for cutting the curves on my main image and on the brown. My tree line is a Poppystamps die called Pine Tree Border. My papers were pulled out of my scrap pile of papers. That pile seems never-ending!
