A Western Roundup at Catch the Bug

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! This week's theme is a crafter fave:

This week's theme is a

Western Roundup!

We want to see you whip up a goodie using

a western theme. Get out your favorite cowboy/cowgirl images and have a rootin' tootin' good time whippin' up somethin' for the challenge! 

My card features one of my favorite Bugaboo Stamps characters, Bugaboo Cowboy! This is the Lasso image. He's hoping to rope you in with his adorable little grin! :)

He's always been one of my favorites to color. I love his cute little face, but those chaps are adorable, too, aren't they?! I kept him very clean and simple, adding only some texture with an embossing folder, and couple of star buttons from my stash. Once I have a better idea where he is headed, I may add a sentiment to the outside, but for now, he is a happy cowboy! :)

It's a BINGO Saturday Challenge!

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 the middle horizontal squares of requirements for my card this week (Bugaboo Image, Starts with F, Ribbon). 

My card features the Bugaboo Stamps  AKV Cowgirl Howdy image, which I colored in PSE to add some texture and bandana print. I used some old CTMH papers called Twitterpated. I just love the faux stitching on these prints! I pulled out some of my EK Success border punches (flowers and frills), and an American Crafts ribbon that I have had for a long time. I did a bit of distressing and inking. The diamond-shaped brads are from a retired SU collection of Vintage Brads. I've been trying to raid my stash of everyhing for a while now. I was doing well until my last spree at the local scrapbook place, when I added a bunch of cute whimsical papers to my stash........but you can never have enough paper, right?! lol! I am doing well using up old embellishes and ribbons, though. I want to scale back.....I do! I do! It's so hard, though! lol!

 Anyhow, back to my card: this image, and other great images, are available in the Bugaboo Stamps Store! 

Hop on over and check them out! Don't forget to look at all the New Images this Month, and the Sale Section! There's always something great happening at Bugaboo Stamps!

Here's what I've come up with, using the Bugaboo Stamps image, Cowboy Fence image, which I have altered ~WITH PERMISSION~, of course! :0) (I just want to say that it's never okay to alter an artists digi without permission that I know of! I have yet to see an angel policy that states otherwise.)

(Click Image to Enlarge)

This window cut file was from my great friend Cely, of Creating in Carolina. I LOVE this thing, and am positive you will be seeing more of it from me! :0) So versatile!

I used more of my go-to-lately Sizzlits papers on this, and some of my handy punches! I added a metal embellish that I picked up from Michael's clearance bin (for a whopping fourteen cents! Woooo!). The adorable little hat is actually a button that I removed the shank from. My good friend gave me some really cool western charms recently, and this is the first time I've had opportunity to use one! As the cowboy would say......."Yahhhoooo for good friends!" lol! :0)
