New Release Day At Bugaboo

More Humor over at Bugaboo this week. I just love Gertrude and this is me these days. I'm so not into working out but I really need to start getting into shape because spring is coming and next thing you know it will be summer. Extra pounds and summer clothes,.....not pretty.Delightful Challenges.

So for my card today I used some papers from a Recollections Stack I picked up at Michael's last week. Love all the layers on this card. The sketch I used is By Delightful Challenges.

I colored the image with Copics and added some Glossy Effects to the glasses.

 Love those glasses and that ribbon is my favorite.

 And inside.

Have a great day everyone.

Friday and A Freebie At Bugaboo

It's time for a Freebie again over at Bugaboo and this week Jodie has a great one for you. I just love Gus and this one is a goodie. This sentiment is so true at times, maybe not literally but.....I'm just sayin. Do make a point of heading over to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog and see what the Design team has to share with you today and then go to the Bugaboo Store and pick up this great image for yourself.
For my card I used a couple of pieces of paper that I have made using glossy cardstock and Distress Stains and a piece of pattern from a pad I picked up at Wall Mart.

I have used Glossy Glaze on the glasses. The bird trinket is from a dollar bin at Michaels.

 Inside....

I hope you all have a great day and weekend.

ABC Monday At Bugaboo

I'm late with this post, I'm so sorry. I have a cold again and it just took the wind out of my sails yesterday. I don't feel that much better today. Darn, but I'm getting tired of not feeling well. I think I need to pay attention on how and what I eat, time to get healthy for spring.
So much for my woes.. Today is an Anything But A Card Day over at Bugaboo and I made a corner bookmark for my project today. Here is the close up first today. I used one of Jodie' Topper Images. If you head over to the Bugaboo Store you can find this image and more.

 And here is is on a book page. I just love this Lion.

Have a great day everyone.

Friday Challenge At Dilly Beans

How about using up those bits and pieces of red paper that you have scattered all around from all the Valentine Cards you have been making lately? Throw in a little Black and you have the makings for a card for this weeks Challenge over at Dilly Beans. You got it. We want to see red and Black on your projects. Head over to the Dilly Beans Designer and Challenge Blog and see all the fun projects that the Design Team has been working on.
For my project today I used two of Megan's great images. # 379 Ophelia's Heart and # 377 Martin's Heart. How cute are these? The images are colored with Copics and the background is painted with Frost White all purpose ink. Nice shimmery background.

 It is really hard to get the shimmer to show up. Sorry.

So now let's see what you come up with this week. There were so many great entries last week and I still need to finish up my commenting. It has been a crazy busy week with my Mom this week so I have to apologize.
Have a great weekend everyone.
