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!

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   atTotally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

    

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

Vintage elegance

Hi there ,thank you for calling  in .Welcome to my room . Hope that you and yours are well .
Another blast of Winter weather here today and for the rest of the week , it seems .
Just a quick post with a couple of  card photos . Have plenty to do before Michelle and family arrive for visit .

Have been playing with a CD-ROM,  free with a magazine .

This particular image is , Jean,  from Decor Follies. She comes complete with back ground papers

Using my microsoft publishing programme , I chose  first,  the  tan flecked paper then the smaller gold coloured panel then " Jean " and after layering together I printed it out  onto Whisper White..

I then trimmed to size , layered it onto some Confetti White card , then sponged edges with T H. Tattered Rose Ink . Then , leaving small border I adhered to base card of Soft Suede.

I had wanted to  embellish with  flowers or somesuch

but settled for a few rhinestones from my stash .

And for the inside I printed out " Jean " again , cut her out and placed her inside onto same background paper and on the side of some Very Vanilla card for a greeting .
Love these free additions to magazines !
To finish this post I wanted to share with you a card , our Daughter
Michelle ,  from   http://michelle-pinkpaperparadise.blogspot.com.au/  sent for Father's day .

Michelle , Dad loves it, BIG TIME !!
Thank you for your visit ,I hope that you will call in again soon .
                                                        My thought for today .
                                                                
                                                                If you judge people,
                                                                   you have no time to love them .

                                                                                     - Mother Teresa.

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.
