BINGO Saturday Challenge at Catch the Bug

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! We are hosting our monthly B-I-N-G-O Card Challenge! 

Without further ado , here is this weeks Catch the Bug 

Bingo Card:

Isn't this BINGO Card the coolest?! So many choices!

You may choose three squares: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal!

I chose to a horizontal column of requirements for my card this week (Pearl, Bugaboo Image, and Sentiment). 

My card features one of the Bugaboo Stamps Snowman images! This little cutie is the Snowman Patches. I love this little guy's shape: it reflects the shapes of snowmen I made as a kid, much better than a triple-stacked one! lol!

 It, and the other great Snowman images, are available in the Bugaboo Stamps Store! Hop on over and check them out!

For my card, I used my Martha Stewart PATP Snowflake punches. I am trying hard to use my supplies, and quit looking at all the "new" stuff that has come out for purchase this fall. I seem to be running to the store for "something" way too much, lately! lol! I'm sure hubby will be happy to see me use my stash supplies, too. :0)

I added some Stickles Glitter Glue, Icicle,  around the snowflake borders. To apply it, I kept a light squeeze on the bottle while I gently swirled it around the punched openings. I also added the Stickles to my snowflake punches. These were punched from two EK Success punches, and one Martha Stewart punch. I added the white pearl in the middle. All of my layers are adhered together using pop-dots. I like to use the Stampin' Up dots, as they are just a bit thinner, and don't add too much bulk to the card when I multi-layer with them. :0)

My sentiment is something I printed from my PSE program.

A Sketch Challenge at Catch the Bug!

t's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! This one is sure to inspire!

This week's theme is

A Sketch Challenge!

Here's the card I came up for this week:

(Click To Enlarge)

Yep - I know.....why the heck a snowman?! The temps have been record-breakers, and here I am making a snowman card! lol! Well, let me tell you........I really sort of missed the snowy season (but only a tiny bit!). I do like the snowman images on cards, and not having any snow to speak of this year, well.....it has left my stash without any snowmen, too! Sooo......here's one!

My card features Snowman Skates image by Bugaboo Stamps.

I'm trying to use up my gigantic scrap pile, so all of my papers are scraps. I used up some Ric-Rac pieces, a couple of rhinestones, and a Sizzlit die cut for my sentiment, which I adorned with some Stickles.

And here's the sketch to follow! :0)

So, show us what you can do with this great sketch! Whip up your project (it can be a card, scrapbook page.....whatever, so long as we can see the sketch. You can even flip it, if you'd like!) and head on over to enter it into the Mr. Linky!

By entering your project, you could win up to SEVEN Bugaboo images!

Head on over to Catch the Bug to play along!
