New Release Tuesday at Bugaboo

Hi everyone!! I was so excited when I made the Bugaboo Design Team and now I get to share my first official card as a DT Member!! Every Tuesday, Jodi releases new images at Bugaboo Stamps and today's images are as cute as ever!!

For my card, I used the beach crab to create a fun Birthday Card. I printed the image out on select white cs and cut him out. I popped him up on a little beach scene. The striped dsp was in my scrap pile so I am not sure who made it.

This card qualifies for a few different challenges:

Simple Doodles ~ Layers
Charisma Cardz ~ Animals
Our Creative Corner ~ Buttons

Now head on over to Bugaboo Stamps to see the rest of the new release and be sure and check out the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog to see what the other Design Team members created.

AiFactory #30 ~ Anything Goes

Hello everyone!! I am so sorry for my lack of blogging this week! My camera has been on the fritz since Sunday. We still can't figure out the problem, so I finally went and borrowed one while mine is out for repairs! I have some exciting news and a few cards to share now that I can take pics of them so stay tuned!!

This week at AiFactory we are featuring some elegant and very versatile clipart flourishes. For a chance to win this fab set of images, head over to the AiFactory Challenge Blog and add your card. This week we are having an Open Challenge ~ You can make anything your heart desires!!

As always, you are not required to use AiFactory images but if you have them we would love to see them. We also have quite a few Freebies available at the store.

My card was created almost entirely using GIMP, I layered the background, flourish and sentiment and then printed them out onto white cs. I used lemon tart cs and ribbon to add a little color to the black and white. I also used two butterfly punches as well as the Martha Stewart trellis punch to finish everything off.

Please visit the DT Blogs to see even more beautiful cards using these beautiful flourishes....
