The other two were a breeze .We had fun and enjoyed each other's company and that's what counts ..right!
But right now I am sharing time with you , my blogging friend .

So here I am, happily  posting for Monday Linky Party #98.

Red card base embossed with dot folder and embossed lines at bottom edge. Bottom edge scalloped with SU punch . .Ribbon from SU . Birthday Wishes from SU , So Happy For You . A few stars from my stash .   Copics used as colouring medium .

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 

Bugaboo Stamps are offering a very generous prize of winner's choice of 7 single digis!

 

Remember, to be in the running to win the prize from our sponsor this week just leave a comment for another entry. Be sure to mention you saw them on Make It Monday. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning!

 

Our fabulous DT have showcased their inspirational pieces on their blogs , so I hope that you can visit them . May be you are their POTW .

A card for a challenge

Hi there , welcome to my room . Thanks for calling in . Hello to new followers too .I hope that you enjoy your visits .
Just a quick post,  as I was encouraged by Jane to enter a card into http://cardsformen.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/challenge-14-happy-birthday.html
This one of  the kits that I shared  with my craft friends this week .
Jane was here this afternoon for some top quality friend time  and some papercraft.
Here is my card ..The images are from a FREE " FOR HIM " set that came with a magazine .

and for the inside

I did try a bit of colour on the drum kit BUT , I thought that it distracted  the eye from the guitar, so tried this version .
Would like to enter this into the challenge from http://cardsformen.blogspot.com.au/
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

oops nearly forgot ..hope that you are still here ..
My thought for today
   It is better to be in chains with friends ,
  than to be in a garden with strangers.

DigiDoodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

DigiDoodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps. 

The DigiDoodle Shop is giving away a $10.00 Store Gift Certificate to the lucky random winner!
