11-29 Monday Morning Wishes...!

The card below featuring one of Bugaboo Stamps fantastic images is a bit of a deviation from the norm. This card is currently en route to Canada! That's because today we are celebrating the birthday of the owner/illustrator of Bugaboo Stamps - Jodie Mackrell!

Jodie has made such an impact in my life as well as the entire Bugaboo Design Team! We're so lucky to know and work with her!

Have a very Happy Birthday Jodie!

The inside sentiment reads (in part), "After a few rounds, they're all over me!"

11-27 New Challenge at Bugaboo Stamps

As I mentioned in yesterdays post, Black Friday has become quite the experience in the last few years! I definitely have a Love-Hate relationship with it! Of course, I LOVE the sales, but the hassle sometimes is just not worth it! That said, I was out there a little after midnight snapping up the bargains and waiting in line with hundreds of other people! :p

So I'm pretty much feeling the urge to stay home, warm and out of the crowds today! I think I am going to sit here in my pajamas, on the computer nabbing more awesome deals in between making more gifts and cards instead! :) What a way to spend the day hmm?!

Today there is a new challenge up at Bugaboo Stamps! This weeks Bugaboo Stamps Catch the Bug Challenge is all about Black Friday and/or shopping! We challenge you to make a card or papercraft project item that is apropriate for our theme. For complete rules and challenge info head over to the BUG BLOG !

My card below features Bugaboo Stamps Stella Christmas digi. I love Stella but am reasonably sure I saw someone just like her on line yesterday at Target! I'm betting she's on Santa's 'Naughty List'! What do you think?
