An Oldie But Goodie - Ahead on next Christmas!

Hi, everyone!

Thursday's are Oldie But Goodie Days at Catch the Bug Blog! 

Today I am showcasing Rudolph - Stars. 

I used my Prismacolor pencils on this, and an already-past Stella Says Sketch layout that you can find here. This was actually my very first Gamsol Technique attempt! Not bad, but not great, either. Hehe!

Like I said in my blog post title - this is me working ahead for next Christmas! lol! I have had a tendency to be way behind the Christmas card creating in the past couple years, and I do not do well with last-minute crafting! So..........I'm counting this as step one in my "get it together" resolution of being ahead next season. :0)

You can check out all the great images that Jodie has to offer, at the Bugaboo Store here.

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)

It's a New Release at Bugaboo Stamps today!

It's Tuesday.......time for a Bugaboo Stamps New Release. This week, Jodie has whipped up some more of her Make It Snappy Images. Isn't this Reindeer Image just adorable!? I totally fell in love with these three the minute I saw them! These Make It Snappy Images are so great for throwing together a quick card, and Jodies images are so darling, everyone will think they took you hours!

In addition to the Make It Snappy image, I added some flannel pattern ribbon,  a landscape border that I punched with EK Success punch, a MS Snowflake punch border, Stickles, paper glaze, and some texture in the background of the image (which was added using PSE). I had some great Debbie Mumm papers to use for my background papers. The main image is raised up off the card using pop-dots. No kidding about the "Make It Snappy", huh?! Easy-peasy!
