Bingo!

I chose the left vertical column: 2 animals, Sentiment and Buttons and created this:

Bugaboo 6th Birthday Bash - Day 1.

Good morning!

It's that time of the year: Bugaboo is having their birthday party!

 

Last year I took part in their challenges and this year I'd like to be part of the celebrations too!

 

This year it's all about Wild Animals and Birthdays of course!

 

Day 1 (well... last saturday) had this inspiration:

 

 

This is my card:

 

Although I have tons of stamps from Bugaboo, I treated myself with some new ones which could fit the Wild Animal theme of these challenges.

This one is Bobblehead Animal Greeting - I Didn't Forget. I colored it with Copics and used papers from Echo Park (Country Drive).

 

I'm a bit behind schedule, I have only another one ready to be posted but I'll try to join everyday. Be prepared to see some more posts for Bugaboo Birthday Bash!

A Sketch Challenge

It's been a while since I last entered a card into the There She Goes Challenge so I decided to see this week's theme and make a card.

There's a sketch to follow this week:

And I made this card:

It's cold, rainy and dark outside and I needed something to cheer me up a bit, that's why I opted for these papers with bright colors (sorry, I bought them a long ago on a destash on Etsy and the brand wasn't mentioned).

The elephant is from the Jungle Out There set of clear stamps from There She Goes, a set I love very much with those funny animals! Their size is just perfect for cards and smaller projects!

And, although there's a bit of hot pink, I think that its bright colors make this card suitable both for boys and girls.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

There She Goes Challenge # 191: Sketch

Crafting by Designs Challenge: Polka-dots

Here Come The Boys Challenge # 44: Bingo Board (Blue - Free - Image)

A very quick post.

Good morning!

I've not been a good blogger in this period but my family still has health issues and I have Custom orders to prepare so I have little time to dedicate to cards and posts.

Anyway, yesterday I manage to prepare a little tag for a challenge.

The original idea was to make a card as usual. I was printing some digis and I had a little space in the page for another one so I decided to fit in a lovely little elephant from Hambo Stamps. Once printed I realized it was a bit too small for a card so I turned it into a tag.

Here's my tag:

The Hambo Hoedown Challenge this week was all about this little elephant they gave us for free (as participants in last week challenge) and sparkle.

I used a metallic blue tag and added sparkle in the elephant hat, in the lollipops made from glitter card and in the rhinestones.

Well, I have many cards almost ready and some stamps already colored waiting to be turned into cards, I hope I have time to finish something!

Have a nice week!
