Gorgeous sunset!

Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday!

I love Saturday blogging - there are always so many great challenges and creations in blogland on the weekends, and today is no exception; in fact, today is a new challenge day at Catch the Bug Blog, featuring all kinds of sweet Bugaboo Stamps images! 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 week's theme is a

Color Challenge

Oh, these colors are so gorgeous, aren't they?! I could really get lost in that sunset in the photo, and can only to hope for that dreamy vacation!

I came up with this Tropical Santa Scuba card.  There are some additional great summertime Tropical Santa, and some other super images, too, in the Bugaboo Stamps Store. Be sure to head over to check them out! I know you're going to want to scoop some up for yourself!

For my card, I chose to use some new Echo Park Papers from their Paradise Beach collection. I kept this card simple, clean and easily mailable. It's an A2 size, and can be sent using a single stamp. The two little glittered gems I added are very low profile, so this can go into a standard A2 envelope. :)

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!

Please check out the rest of the Design Team goodies while you're there! These peeps are filled with talent, full of good tips and ideas......and loaded with eye-candy-inspiring ideas! I am so honored to be part of the group!
