Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat drinking beer all day!
Yup....I got the Bug....a Bugaboo Guest Designer position for July and August. I'm so dang excited and a little nervous. This is my very first Guest Designer position. YIKES!!! ( However, the DT members have been the best and sweetest to welcome me into their Bugaboo world.)
I was so excited when I saw the "New Release" Gus fishing.....another wonderful creation by Jodie at Bugaboo Stamps. If you follow my blog to any degree, you know I'm a true lover of water, the beach and fishing. My "2 happy places" are my craft room and on the water.
Check out all the inspiration by the super DT members at Catch the Bug Blog. It's a MUST!!!
Deets: My late FIL had a boat, motor, and hat these colors...so I used these in memory of him. Copics, wave svg (don't know where I got it), post by Heather M., MS anchor punch, metal fish, rod punch.

Challenges:
Pollycraft: (Splish Splash - water theme)
Sweet Stampin: (something old/something new) brand new image, brand new fish embellishment and extremely old twine and very old blue paper....haha
Scrappy Frogs: (use anything red)
Rainbow Ladies: (use a digi stamp)
With the help of my DH, I continue trying to work on my photography skills with his mammoth camera. I get mixed reviews....some like the outdoor pics and others the plain indoor pics. ( This one was really hard because of the 3D composition.) My end goal is simply post something that I hope "you" will enjoy seeing.
Welcome aboard girly, so glad to have you as GD this month! Your card ROCKS! wow, wow, wow!
ReplyDeleteVery cute.... a great creation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
Love Cynthia x
ohhhh Cely I love your card.... sooooo cute. You are sooo super talented.
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness....he's darling and the layout soooo works....great job and congratulations on being a guest designer at Bugaboo. I can tell you like their stamps by checking your blog on a regular basis and it gets me wanting to buy even more from them.
ReplyDeleteI love this card Cely! What a wonderful combo!
ReplyDeleteCely - we're SO Happy to have you joining us!!! This card - WOW is all I can say - just FABULOUS! Or as Rae Anne said, "Fan-Freakin'-Tastic!!

This is just incredible! I love that you took the photo on the glass table! Looks like water, and really works with the card! You totally knocked this one out of the park (and into the water! lol!)!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the DT spot. Love your card. Great design, layout and coloring.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't think of many things that would be more fun to do in my craft room than playing around with Bugaboo.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow, Cely! What a great card. Love all the details. Great job on the coloring, too. I may have to steal this one sometime, if I want to put in sooo much work, ha ;- ) Love both the indoor and outdoor on this one because the table isn't such a distraction and actually adds to your composition, as does your accouterments, of course. 3D cards are hard to show in pics, you just have to take more than 1 like you did, which shows off the details perfectly. Leap'n lizards girl, you just took you cards to a new level with this one ;- ) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLove this...so gorgeous!! Thanks for playing at Sweet Stampin this time! xx Jenny xx
