Life is Good When You're a Princess

 It's Wednesday today, and on the Catch the Bug Blog, we are celebrating humorous holidays for Humor Me Wednesday.  Every Wednesday, we celebrate the quirky, obscure, but definitely worth making a note of days of the year!  For instance, did you know that today is Princess Day?  I for one, think I deserve to be treated like a princess everyday, but today is my day!

There are a number of princess images in the Bugaboo Stamps Store, but I found this pre-colored image that I decided to start with: AKV Princess:

I printed the pre-printed AKV Princess image, then enhanced her with Prismacolor pencils.  I cut her out with a wonky stitched die from The Scrapping Cottage.  The pretty designer papers on this card are from Crafter's Companion. 

So, what other holidays are being celebrated today?  Check out Catch the Bug to find out!

Candy Corn Boo! For Bugaboo Stamps

 It's Humor Me Wednesday over at Catch the Bug for Bugaboo Stamps. Every Wednesday, the obscure, usually humorous, always worth celebrating holidays are observed.  For instance, did you know that tomorrow is Candy Corn Day?  I know that's a day worth celebrating!

I used Chubby Ghost - Candy Corn on this card.  I colored Chubby Ghost - Candy Corn with Copic markers, then fussy cut him out. 

I created the rocking card by cutting out the largest circle die I own (6 inches), and folding it in 1/2.  Then, using a piece of Halloween candy paper from Close To My Heart, and a circle die a slight bit smaller, I created the next layer.  The 'Boo!' sentiment is a die from Tonic Studios.  It's been my go-to Halloween die this season.

Candy Corn day!  I hope you celebrate it!  Check out what else we're celebrating over at Catch the Bug Blog. And, by all means, treat yourself to some shopping at Bugaboo Stamps!

Never Mind, I'll Buy My Own Stuff! for Bugaboo Stamps

Christmas in July is well underway over at Catch the Bug.  Every Wednesday is Humor me Wednesday, and that's the theme today, too!  There are lots and lots of hilarious Bugaboo Stamps digis that work for Humor Me Wednesday! 

Stella is one of my favorite characters, so when given an opportunity, I reach for Stella.  She's on my card today:

This is Stella - Dear Santa Note, and it makes me laugh!  I colored Stella - Dear Santa Note with Copic markers, then fussy cut her to get her to work on my card.  That wasn't my intention, but sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do!

The fun papers on this card are from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles. She does a great 12 days of Christmas promo every year, and I got these last Christmas. 

I hope you've been able to join in the fun of Christmas in July at Catch the Bug Challenges.  Bugaboo Stamps always has the most generous prizes!  You won't want to miss out on the fun!

A Chocolate Bath -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Humor Me Wednesday over on the Catch the Bug Blog for Bugaboo Stamps. Every Wednesday, Bugaboo Stamps designers feature obscure holidays that can be humorous, or in some cases downright bizarre. You never know what might be featured during Humor Me Wednesday!  Since July 6 was National Chocolate Day (and my birthday), that seems like a fine day to celebrate to me!  Ruby has something so say about chocolate on this card!

This card features Ruby Chocolate - Bathe in Chocolate, and I colored it with Copic markers.  She looks quite pleased with herself, doesn't she?  Ruby knows how to enjoy life, I tell you what!  Oh, and that fun sentiment comes with the set!

The fun papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  I used 2 papers from the Baking Cookies collection.

National Draw a Bird Day -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Wednesday, and that means it's Humor me Wednesday on the Catch the Bug Blog.  Holidays, both important and obscure are celebrated this day.  I'm sure draw a bird day is important to someone, but this is a new day to party for me!

Jodie has many wonderful bird images in her Bugaboo Stamps Store.  I chose this amazing Hummingbird image because of it's simplistic line drawn appearance. I think it definitely qualifies for Draw a Bird Day, don't you?

I printed the hummingbird image onto silver paper from Crafter's Companion, then used a heart die from Spellbinders to cut it out.  The designer papers are also from Crafter's Companion. The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from My Pink Stamper that has been in my collection for many years.  I kept the card simple to emphasize that beautiful Hummingbird digi. 

Check out the other holidays that are being celebrated this week, and how creative the other Bugaboo designers are over at Catch the Bug!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to Ewe (late) for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Wednesday, and that means it's time for a little humor over on the Catch the Bug Blog. Yes, it's Humor Me Wednesday, where all kinds of wacky and sometimes wonderful holidays are celebrated! 

In honor of the totally fun St. Patrick's Day holiday that I'm guessing many of us celebrated in some capacity yesterday, I have one last Irish card for today.

This uses the Bugaboo Stamps image, St. Patrick's Ewe to create this:

I colored St. Patrick's Ewe with Copic markers.  This Ewe also comes with a sentiment, but with all my wild Irish papers, I thought the card got the point across very well with the sentiment.

The papers are from AMB Illustrations.  I found some very cute St. Patrick's Day papers there.

I hope you check out the Catch the Bug blog to see what the other talented designers created for today's Humor Me Wednesday, then head on over to the Bugaboo Stamps Store and have a look at the wonderful shop!

Take Time for.... For Bugaboo Stamps

Did you know that Monday was "Feed the Birds Day"?  You didn't?  Well, such things are celebrated over on the Catch the Bug Blog! It's Humor Me Wednesday, when all sorts of wacky (and sometimes serious) days are made note of.  My husband and I enjoy feeding birds -- and squirrels, and deer, and rabbits, and sometimes even inadvertently raccoons and bear!  So, in honor of Feed the Birds Day, here's a little inspiration for you, using a Bugaboo Stamps image, of course!

This digi stamp is called Snowman and birds (no surprise there!), and I colored Snowman and Birds with Copic markers. The sentiment is from a Stampendous acrylic set that I have. The snowflakes are dies from Lawn Fawn.

I used this week's sketch at Sketch Saturday to complete the card. Here's the sketch:

Designer papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are 2 papers from  the Shabby Christmas Collection.

Thank you, Vets -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Wednesday, and this is usually Humor Me Wednesday on the Catch the Bug Blog.  However, since Veteran's Day was just a couple days ago, I'm taking the opportunity to thank a vet with the card, using USA Cupcake:

I colored USA Cupcake with Copic markers.  Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are part of the Nautical Love Collection.

You'll find other great inspiration from the Bugaboo Stamps designers on the Catch the Bug Blog.  Most, I'm guessing, will even be humorous!  Please check it out.

I'm Nuts About Books! for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Wednesday, and every Wednesday is "Humor Me Wednesday" on the Catch the Bug Blog.  Did you know that October 22 was both Nut Day AND Smart is Cool Day? I did not want two such important milestones to go unnoticed, so I created this bookmark for the occasion!

I used Nuts About - Books, colored him up with Copic markers, then fussy cut him out.  

I found the fun books paper at Pixel Scrapper.  The sentiment is my own, and was computer generated.  The fibers are retired, from Close To My Heart.  All the die cuts on this project are dies from Paper Wishes. 

There will be other significantly {humorous} days that the Bugaboo Stamps design team honors on the Catch the Bug Blog.  Please take a look to pay homage!

God Bless America -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Wednesday, and it's usually a Humor Me Wednesday post on the Catch the Bug Blog, but since tomorrow is Independence Day here in the US, I'm posting a patriotic card instead.  I haven't gotten more and more patriotic as I've aged, finding more and more reasons to love my country, and more specifically, the people that make up this country.  So, in honor of the land I love:

God Bless America!

In my small town, we have a huge celebration on the 4th of July.  It's the annual Liberty Fest.  I'll be helping the nursing home get the residents outdoors to see the parade.  Our town of less than 2000 people draws a crowd of over 10,000 to watch the parade.  There's a beach party, bands throughout the day, a softball tournament, a horse pull, a tractor pull, an arts & crafts fair, and of course, fireworks in the evening.

I used USA Flag Puppy on this card, colored with Copic markers. Isn't he the cutest?  I love that expression on his face!

The background of stars was created with a die from Avery Elle. The sentiment was computer generated.

There will be other Humor Me Wednesday ideas on the Catch the Bug Blog, and I'm sure some of them will be humorous.  I hope you hop on over to the Catch the Bug Blog and check out all the talent there.  

And, to let you know about the upcoming fun at Bugaboo!  Take a look at this:

It's Wednesday, and every Wednesday on the Catch the Bug blog, Bugaboo Stamps are showcased with Humor Me Wednesday.  

Monday was National Napping Day, and that is certainly a day worth celebrating!  I made this card for the occasion:

Come Stand Under my Umbrella -- for Bugaboo Stamps

National Umbrella Day -- did you know there was such a thing?  Everything deserves it's day, even umbrellas, I guess.   Sunday was National Umbrella Day, and today I am paying homage to the big event with a card featuring umbrellas for Bugaboo Stamps.  It's Humor Me Wednesday on the Catch the Bug Blog. 

Today's card features Umbrella Mouse:

I colored Umbrella Mouse with Copic markers.  I computer generated the sentiment.

Papers for this card are from AMB Illustrations.  I used a past sketch from Sketch Saturday.  The umbrella die cut is from a die that has been in my stash for so long, I don't know who's it is anymore.

Nuts About You! for Bugaboo Stamps

Did you know that Squirrel Appreciation Day was celebrated this week?  Well, it's Humor Me Wednesday at Bugaboo Stamps, and I thought Squirrel Appreciation Day was well worth celebrating!

Here's my card in honor of the day, using Squirrel:

I colored up the Squirrel digi with Copic markers.  Isn't he magnificent?  My dog, Winter, would certainly love to chase this fine Squirrel! The bushier the tail, the more fun they are to chase!

Papers on this card were found at Pixel Scrapper. I searched 'Acorn'.  I found the sentiment that way, too. The acorn die cut is from a die I purchased at Peachy Cheap. 

Visit the Catch the Bug blog to see what other obscure days are being celebrated this week.  Did you know it's National Pie Day? That's certainly worth celebrating!
