August 1, 2013

 

Aud Sentiments  with another wonderful challenge running from Aug 1-13.. and sponsored by

Sassy Studio Designs

The challenge is

 

"Let's Get Flirty"

 

 I chose to use the image Dorothy Sassy.. She's a little flirty waitress.. or maybe she's just playing at being a waitress.. know what I mean.. wink wink---   I loved coloring her up and putting blue highlights in her hair. I thought she should hold a little stick pin heart. The sentiment below her is from club scrap, the one above her I just printed out on my label maker. She needed to be "FLIRTY" for the challenge.  DONT FORGET THE SENTIMENT TO GO WITH GETTING FLIRTY.. your card must include a flirty sentiment on it.

It's the end of July. How time flies. This year is going by so fast. Today at Paper Pretties we have a new challenge..

 #269 - "THANK YOU" / "Thanks so much"

 

After all of those weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, family gatherings  and other fun summer gatherings, happenings its time for a Thank You card. I loved making this card as I love the colors. She was a lot of fun to bring to life. Kind of monochromatic ..kind of..

Catch the bug - Poinesettia bear

July 30, 2013

 

Can you believe the end of July is just around the corner.. We at Catch the bug have been very very busy with the Christmas in July week and all of the other challenges in-between so we are taking a little break from Aug 1st -15th.. So no new releases or free Fridays. I hope you will still visit my blog as I still have other cards I will be posting.

 

Today Catch the bug has a new release POINSETTIA BEAR.. He looks like its suspicious of something.. Love the guilty look or you caught me look. (remember if the image has not been posted by 7a.m. on the CTB site, please check back later in the day as sometime life gets busy and we are just a little late on posting. The image will be posted for you to enjoy)

 

I used my little boxes of left over items (that I mentioned in a posting below) to make my card. I am loving these organized sorted colors because I did not have to cut anything. All of these die cuts were in my stash containers. I just may have to die cut some more things to re fill the boxes, but believe me I have enough in each to last awhile. I just love the convenience.

Catch the bug Free Friday / Snowman Star

Friday July 26, 2013

 

Catch the bug Free Friday -Lil SNOWMAN STAR   (please note bugaboo makes every attempt to have our new images and freebies posted by 7a.m. - however sometimes life gets in the way so please check back later if the new freebie has not been posted.)

Boy at this rate from last weeks CIJ and this weeks new release and free Friday I am getting my Christmas cards made.

Way to go and I love it.

Here is Lil Snowman star a darling little guy for this Friday's free Friday. I took all my scraps and bought some photo containers and sorted all my scraps - my die cuts, punches, all those pieces that did not work for what ever project I was working on and did not want to throw away, and were just thrown in a box.. Well I put all the blues in one container, green in another and so on an so forth with the other colors. I then took out my blue container and used only those pieces in that container. I tried to add some other colors but was liking the all blue look with a little green copics in there. I love being organized and this was a great time saver and fun to see pieces from long ago.
