Miss You a Bushel! for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps!  Every Friday, there's a new freebie!  Doesn't that just make your Friday better?  Today's stamp is called Autumn Brat Leaves Girl and she's a real cutie!

I colored up Autumn Brat Leaves Girl with Copic markers.  I used 2 cutting dies from Cottage Cutz to cut her out and back Autumn Brat Leaves Girl. The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Joy's Life.

The fun papers are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are from the Autumn Woodland papers.  The leaves are cutting dies from Yvonne Creations. 

Check out what the other talented Bugaboo designers did with this girl over on the Catch the Bug blog. Grab her from the Bugaboo Stamps Store, color her up, and enter her in the challenges.  You might win more Bugaboo Stamps!

Back to Skool -- Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps

It's Friday!  What makes Friday even better, is that every Friday, Bugaboo Stamps gives away a freebie! For an entire week!  Then, just like clockwork, here comes Friday, and BAM!  Another Freebie!  How great is that?!?

School has been underway for a couple weeks now in the small town where I live, and I know the kids are working on their spelling, reading, and so much more.  Today's card features Deacon, and he's needing a little help with his spelling...

This is Deacon - School Sign It 3, colored with Copic markers.  The sign part is blank, so you can fill in whatever you want. I computer generated my sentiment.  If you need a thank you card for a teacher, I think this would be a great one!

I fussy cut Deacon - School Sign It 3, then used a past sketch at Sketch Saturday to jump start my creativity. You'll find tons of great sketches there!  The school themed papers were found at Pixel Scrapper (just search 'school').

Go to the Bugaboo Store to find this week's Friday Freebie, color it up, and you'll be ready for tomorrow's challenge. Check out what the other designers did with Deacon - School Sign It 3 when you visit Catch the Bug. There's a new one every Saturday at Catch the Bug Challenges. Stella Says Sketch has gone back to every other Sunday, now that summer is over, so there'll be a new one of those this Sunday.

Today's Friday Freebie is Party Pig Trio:

I colored up Party Pig Trio with Copic markers.  Just what shade of Copic marker would you use for a pig, anyway?  I went with R01, R02, and R05, if you like the look.  I stamped the sentiment directly below the Party Pig Trio with an acrylic stamp from Close To My Heart.

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The background paper is from the Cupcake Toppers paper pack.  The pink paper is from the Party Celebrations collection.  The gems were from my stash.

I colored Mouse - Big Flower with Copic Markers, then used a die set from Avery Elle to create the card.  The papers and sentiment are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The papers are a new release this month.  They are the Coneflower Love papers, and the sentiment, also a new release, is one of the Itty Bitty Summer sentiments.  Speaking of itty bitty -- that itty bitty touch of ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

It's Friday! That's Fri-yay!  Today, being Friday, means there's a freebie for you in the Bugaboo Stamps Store.  I truly adore all of Jodie's digis, but some of them just really make me giggle.  Today's freebie is one of those images that made me smile the whole time I "worked" with it.  It is so much fun!

This is Skinny Bird Easter, and he's free for this week!

How cute it THAT?!?  I colored Skinny Bird Easter with Copic markers, and like many of Jodie's images, I didn't spend hours coloring it.  It was pure fun to color up Skinny Bird Easter.

This week at Sketch Saturday, you can pick any past sketch to work with.  This is the sketch I chose:

Papers on this card were found at Pixel Scrapper, searching Easter papers.  The flowers are mulberry, so I'm going to enter this in the Crash Your Stash at the Outlawz, where this month the challenge is to use mulberry paper.

I colored Clyde Get Well with Copic markers.  He is a fierce dragon, isn't he?  I think it must be those roses he is clutching that gives him the fierce look, lol! Or maybe it's the pink balloon.  He is winging his way to a very dear friend who has been through a lot.  She will soon be traveling from Mayo hospital to a hospital just a few miles from me.  I am going to see her just as soon as she is settled in. 

I used this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday on this card.  Here's the sketch: 

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are from 3 different collections: Floral Expressions (background paper), Touch of Teal (pink hearts), and Nautical Love (red dots).

Snow Day -- Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps

It's Friiidaaaaaaay!  That means there's a freeeebiiiiiiieeeeee at Bugaboo Stamps!  

Today's freebie is Eggbert Winter, and there is some serious cuteness going on here!

I colored Eggbert Winter with Copic markers.  I believe those are red running shoes that he has on, because any serious runner will be out in any kind of weather, even if they do have to balance a pile of snowballs while they run!

The Snow Day! sentiment is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is just one from the Snow Days set.

The snowy background was created on my Silhouette Cameo 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The snowbank was cut freehand with a scissors.  The snowflake banner is a die from La La Land Crafts and I've been using it a lot lately. 

The other Bugaboo designers did some wonderful things with Eggbert.  Check out all the inspiration at Catch the Bug blog.  Grab the freebie, and enter it in our challenges.  You can win more free stuff!  Do some shopping while you are at the Bugaboo Store.  There's so many great images to choose from!

I live in Wisconsin, the Dairy State, so I'm drawn to cows.  Today's free digi, Cow Pile, is a great one for me.  I can think of lots of farmer friends to send this one to!

I colored Cow Pile with Copic markers, working to shade each cow, distinguishing between the different cows in the pile.  I had a bit of a puzzle sorting out hooves, heads, utters, bodies, but I think I got it!

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. These are from the November New Release.  They are the Howdy Paper Collection.

I used several sizes of a Spellbinders label die and a bit of ribbon from my stash on this card.

Hello, Fall -- a Bugaboo Stamps Friday Freebie

I continue to have so much fun guest designing on the Bugaboo Stamps Design team.  I'm well into my 2nd month now, and the stamps I get to work with, along with the super talented and friendly team make it such a joy!

The designer paper behind the sunflowers is from the Sunflower Collection at We Are 3 Digital Shop.

Reading is Dreaming with Open Eyes -- a Bugaboo Stamps Friday Freebie

Friiiidaaaayyyyyyy!  That means FRREEEEEEE-day at Bugaboo Stamps! 

I love to read, closing in on 50 books so far this year.  My goal was 25, but I'd met that goal by March, so I've upped it to 52.  I'll have that met in a week or two.  Like I said, I love to read!  That's why today's Friday Freebie from Bugaboo Stamps is particularly fun for me! 

This is Big Books Girl.  It comes with a different sentiment, but this is one of my favorite quote about books, so I used it instead.

I colored Big Books Girl with Copic markers.  I used cutting dies from Paper Wishes to make the bookmark.  The papers and the fibers are from Close To My Heart, and have been retired for quite some time.

The Catch The Bug blog has some other great examples of what can be done with this Big Books Girl on it today, so check it out.  Then, pick up the freebie, and enter the Catch the Bug Challenges.  Join the fun!

Marriage and cards -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Friday!  Fridays are such good days!  Not only do they mark the start of the weekends, but they also mean it's time for a freebie at Bugaboo Stamps!  Woohoo!  

Stella and Gus are such fun, and they are featured in today's freebie.  Their wisdom just can't be improved upon!

I just love that sentiment! "Marriage is like a deck of cards...In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond.  By the end, you wis you had a club and a spade."    Oh my, how that makes me chuckle!  Even as much as I love my husband, there's some truth to this wisdom!  Some days!

I colored up Stella and Gus Deck of Cards with Copic markers. Their expressions are priceless!

I found the deck or card ephemera at Pixel Scrapper.

I hope you check out what the rest of the talented design team did with this fantastic freebie over at Catch The Bug blog.  Then, grab the freebie and color it up yourself! Join in on the Saturday challenges, the Stella Says Sketch challenge, and you could win even more freebies for yourself!
