A Freebie At Bugaboo

Time is flying by. I can't believe tomorrow is the 1st of December. I plan on sharing my 25 days of Christmas album here this year. I got so sidetracked last year it never happened. I also have a very fun advent calendar to share and best of all BUGABOO is starting off the month with our 12 Days of Gift Giving. So be sure to check in to the Bugaboo Challenge Blog to see who the featured Designer is for the day and then follow the link to their blog for all the details. Lots of great ideas.
So today Jodie has a very cute Rocking Horse for the Freebie so head over to the Bugaboo Store and grab one.
For my card I colored the image with Copics and used papers from a new Recollections 5"X6" pad.
 I layered up some snow flakes and added some rhinestones for some shine.
Have a great weekend and stop by tomorrow.

Bingo At Bugaboo

This weeks Challenge over at Bugaboo is a Bingo Challenge. These are always fun because you have so many choices. So here is the Bingo Card.
So for my card today I chose column #3 down, Flower Emboss and Die Cut. The pointsetta flower is and SVG cut from LaLaStudios. The Embossing is done using a Sizzix Embossing Folder that I applied Navy Ink to the raised parts to make it stand out more. I love the glitter paper even if it is almost $2.00 a sheet. So worth it. The image was cut out using a Nestie Die. I painted the the image background with H2O shimmering watercolors and used Copics for the image itself.
 No matter how I photographed this I could not get the shimmer to show up.
The image is a Bugaboo Words-Snow that you can find in the Store.
And guess what? Jodie has put the whole Store On Sale for Christmas. Can You Believe This? It does exclude the daily deal but that is such a good deal already....Also this sale runs through the 26th of December. Yipee.
