A Little Tea will cure your ills

OBG (Oldie But Goodie) Day

at Catch the Bug

Raggedy Nurse was the perfect image for my project.  I have a friend who's a nurse and she herself has been "under the weather".  I enclosed all types of wonderful aromatic teas, a small container of honey, and some Biscotti cookies.  I figured she could pass it on to a sick friend, being she's a nurse.

With my wonderful Cameo, I cut out my 3D teapot from Silhouette.  This one is rather large so there was lots of room inside for goodies.

I accidentally forgot to color hair for photo, so I have also included the touch-up on raggedy nurse.  Head over to Catch The Bug and see other fun "oldie but goodies".

Saturday Color Challenge

(Red Velvet Hues)

at Catch the Bug

Stella Calendar Month - February from Bugaboo Stamps continues to make me laugh.  I have also used this image for birthday cards.  The challenge this week is "red velvet hues".  Check out the inspiration colors below my card.

I have many Memory Box dies, but not all!  I made one very similar to their filigree heart using my Bamboo Fun drawing board and changing into a svg.  Stitching, copics, pearls, ribbon, a little glitter and PSE, ended me happy with the finished card.

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Bugaboo Stamps

Ava Heart is the new release sweetie at Bugaboo Stamps.  You know how you start with a great vision and it starts fizzling away?  Well, that's what happened here, but a mistake in measurements lead me to my final project below in which I am extremely satisfied.

The pic of my 2 boys is from several years back on a cruise.  It was our first cruise!  I wanted a nice pic of my boys together and this is what I got????  My eldest obviously had too many mojitos before the pic was taken.

I used my Cameo to print and cut and do shadows around the image. Head over to Catch The Bug and see other projects using "Ave Heart."

Saturday Challenge: Sketch

at Catch the Bug

Ladybug Bear image from Bugaboo Stamps is such a sweetie!  I chose her to do my card for the Sketch Challenge at Catch The Bug today. 

I made the flower svg from inspiration from a company that makes a die similar to this, but I can't buy them all, so with my little Bamboo Fun, I drew one up and made my own flower.  The cream swirl is from Memory Box dies.

A2, copics, button, die, svg, stitching, My Mind's Eye DP, glitter, old fern punch

I turned the sketch vertical for my card.

FREEBIE FRIDAY

Our last day of celebrating the 2nd birthday of Bugaboo Stamps.  It's been a wonderful friendship .... which I know will continue for a long time to come.  

You may not know this, but 90% of the images from Bugaboo Stamps have stories behind them.  Jodie has several children and family pets.  Many images have been created after a family/child/animal event peaked an idea for Jodie. This particular FREEBIE FRIDAY image was the family guinea pig that recently departed to that wonderful pet cemetery in the sky, but left the family with wonderful memories as well as a sister..lol

Hop on over to Catch The Bug and see other delightful cards created. Today's theme challenge:  use today's FREE IMAGE and use 3 designer papers. I love this color combo..one of my favs!
