Today's birthday challenge at Bugaboo http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/bugaboo-stamps-5th-birthday-monday.htmlis a photo inspiration.

I see the stripes and colors on that fabulous birthday cake! I used the birthday fishes to make a colorful birthday card.

Bugaboo, let's celebrate!

A week of birthday festivities at Bugaboo http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/bugaboo-stamps-5th-birthday-sunday.html


to celebrate their 5th birthday. Sunday is a sketch challenge. I used this bear holding a string of stars. Of course the wings, halo and stars needed glitter to make them sparkle to help celebrate Bugaboo's Birthday Bash!

The sentiment is from STAMPlorationshttp://stamplorations.com/ Holiday Artsy set.

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash

Bugaboohttp://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/5th-birthday-celebration.html

is 5 years old and is having a BIRTHDAY BASH!! Bingo is Saturday's challenge. Birthday Fishes would seem to be appropriate to get the party started! I love this image and colored brightly it gets you in the mood to celebrate! For the bingo, I chose bling, scallops and animal.

Happy 5th Birthday Bugaboo!!

Love Bird

Wanting to make a few valentines, this Retro Sketch will be perfect! I used a digi stamp from Paper Smoocheshttp://papersmooches.blogspot.com/p/free-digi-stamps.html. Colored in Copic bright, vibrant colors it would be a good card for a child.

I punched out four hearts and put letters spelling out L O V E on each heart. The branch was used for the bird to sit on and the hearts to hang from. A little bling was added to the tail feathers.

This card fits perfectly into

Henry Ashton

Oh what a perfect day. Today my second grandson, Henry Ashton entered the world weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces and was eighteen and a half inches long. Oh Henry, how beautiful and precious are you!!

His older brother, Riley, was told the baby was born. They showed him a picture and he said "You are not bringing HIM home!"

I made a card welcoming Henry into the world. I decided to put a H on it to make sure he knew the card

was made especially for him. They live in North Carolina and will be traveling up to Wisconsin soon. I cannot wait to hold and kiss both of those grandsons!!

I so love this Sugar Rush set from STAMPlorationshttp://stamplorations.blogspot.com/ ! I saw the sundae image and all the word builders. I thought I would only use the sundae image but then I saw the doughnuts. I can not pass up a chocolate covered one, but these are vanilla with blue sprinkles. The top paper is cut at weird angles. I stamped the doughnut image and colored it with a sand Copic marker. The vanilla frosting is pearl tulip paint, The blue sprinkles are glass glitter. The sentiment goes around the paper saying "I never met a calorie I did not like." I had to just stamp the a from the an word. A little baker's twine finishes the card.
