Monster Coffee!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

This card has been "in the making" by me for years. I know that sounds crazy, but the image is a clip art that has been roaming around the web for years. I used to have this guy as my desktop when I worked......it is so "ME"! lol! Anyhow........I had thought about him again, recently. I apologize because I do not know who the original artist is, or where the image originated from, and I don't recall which site I had downloaded him from (like I said, I've had this guy for ages). If you want this clip art for yourself, Google or Yahoo search the key words "Coffee Monster Clip Art".

I used some of my new papers from Cosmo Cricket, and I pulled an old boutique brad out of my stash to adorn to my coffee cup. The cup and steam are a Quickutz die cut.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

My card uses one of the Scene It images from the store, Scene It - Monster Birthday. 

I printed my image out on photo paper to give it a high shine. I added some googlie eyes to the little monsters. I also added a Boutique Brad. I used a Cuttlebug embossing Folder - Numbers - on the green layer beneath the image, just to give some texture. My dp is from my stash.

Now that you've been inspired ( I hope!), why not head over to the Bugaboo Stamps store and pick up this cutie for yourself? Or....by leaving a comment below my post you could 

WIN this image!

*******************************

That's right! You can win the image I used on my card, and all you need to do to be entered to win is leave a comment below my post! East-Peasy!

A last-minute Halloween SVG FIle for you

Hi, everyone!
This is my second post today.....if you are looking for my Bugaboo Freebie Friday post, please scroll down.......thanks! :0)

I wanted to share this with you. I know it is last-minute, but hope that some of you still may want to use if for Halloween, or may even consider it for a scrapbook page. :0)
This is an svg that I put together last year, actually. Here's my card using the file. The file includes the parts to create the monster only, not the sign.

These SVG files are no longer available for free.

Please visit my SVG's for Sale Page located at the top of this blog.

I ran the body partially (left the feet and hands out of the folder) through my Cuttlebug using the Tiny Mosiac folder, and used the debossing side on the top. I added some inking to give him extra depth and texture. His face is stamped with a Peachy Keen stamp. Hope you like him! Enjoy the file! :0)
