Bugaboo’s 2nd birthday blog hop!

Happy 2nd Birthday Bugaboo!!

Tammy was kind enough to invite the Totally Stampalicious design team to participate in Bugaboo’s 2nd Birthday Bash Blog Hop, and we were thrilled to oblige! Especially when she said we would get to pick one winner from our comment section to receive a free digi image, so be sure to leave a comment on my blog for your chance to win!

I’m only 10 subscribers away from having 200 email subscribers, and a really exciting giveaway from Next Day Flyers! You can subscribe to my blog by clicking “Sign me up!” in the top left corner! (Or you can follow via Twitter!) 

For those of you who don’t know, Totally Stampalicious has the great privilege of turning Jodie Mackrell’s incredible art into clear photopolymer stamp sets! 

If you’re hopping along to celebrate this special day with us and you came here from Becky Givans, then you’re in the right place! If not, please go back to the beginning, you never know what you’ll find! ;)  

I absolutely adore Bugaboo images! They’re so much fun to color, and they’re so cute! For my card, I chose Ava Cupcake.

You may (or may not) notice I did use my mad photoshop skillz (haha!) to edit the skulls off of Ava’s cupcake, and that wasn’t difficult to do, at all.

The E70′s were used for Ava’s hair, E000, E93 were used to color the face. V20′s cupcake wrapper, E30′s ‘frosting’, RV’s were used for Ava’s bow, the heart on her dress, her shoes and the candle. I did use RV0000 in the cupcake wrapper to lighten it up a little bit. Y12, YR04 and R27 were used for the flame on the candle. And, I colored her sweet little dress with the G’s.

Now, click on Ava to hop over to Cammy Wall!

Bugaboo is celebrating ALL week long with fun challenges, prizes and more, so make sure you continue to check out Bugaboo’s blog, Catch the Bug for all the fun and prizes!

Thanks for much for hopping along with us today!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Posted on November 25, 2011 by

Good Friday morning to you! Can’t believe Thanksgiving is already over! The drive, the preparation, getting to spend time with friends and family. It was all so worth it! And here we are. Black Friday! Be sure to check out the giveaway by my dear friend, Rebecca of i am cared for. She’s giving away a pair of gloves, and with this cold Michigan weather, they sure came in handy for the kids and I! (She can make smaller sizes for children, isn’t that fun!)

Now it’s time for the monthly Papertrey Ink blog hop! This is a pre-post as we we’ve been on vacation all week. Please excuse any glitches, they won’t be fixed until we return Monday.

For this card, I used On Ice.
The papers for this card are from Jessica Sprague.

I used Autumn Leaves Ponderosa Pine Olive Starburst Stain on the flower.
The stains are from Lindy’s Stamp Gang.
(PS: Lindy’s is having a HUGE sale for Black Friday!)

I used Ramblin’ Rose Pink Starburst Stain for this flower.

Check out my giveaway, below. Or, click HERE to be taken right to it!
