8/31 New Release at Bugaboo Stamps - Post 1

I just love Halloween! The little witches, ghosts, princesses, and goblins come by looking forward to the delicious candy and treats! Seeing all the pumpkins, and decorations, and that little bite in the air that reminds us that winter is on it's way are only part of why I love it! I especially love throwing
Halloween Parties and watching everyones delight and surprise at what  fun we've cooked up each year!

Today is New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps! With my love of everything Halloween, I am BEYOND excited to share this afternoons new release! It was really tough to narrow down and limit my creativity, so I will show you two of the different projects I've created so far using one of the new release digis! Hope you like my first project - the invitation - shown below!

New Challenge at KAH-wink-E-dink!

Hi there everyone! I'm back this morning with a new card to tell you all about the new challenge up at KAH-wink-E-dink! The challenge theme this week is 'Birthday'

Everyone can always use more birthday cards, but don't forget small gifts and other projects can also be created around this theme too! So get out your stamps, make something awesome and then head over to the KWED blog to link up your projects! We can't wait to see what you've made!

My card below features two digis from KWED - Andrew is in the Army Now, and Golfer Girl. Because they are digital stamps, they were very easy to resize and combine with very little effort. This is very important for me to try and save time as I want to make several variations to create as many cards as possible.

Why? Well, this card is one of many handmade cards that are being donated to OWH to send out to be used for the brave men and women who are serving our country in the US Military. To see how you too can help Operation Write Home, please click on the link HERE. It is a small way to help the men and women who are serving our us to put a smile on the  faces of their loved ones too! Why not make a card to donate too?
