Naughty or Nice Challenge #43 - Reminder

It's the 15th of September, so I'm back again with mid-month reminder inspiration for the current challenge over at Naughty or Nice!

Once again, we're delighted to be sponsored by Bugaboo, and I couldn't resist using this sweet image for my card. I just love her expression of innocence.

You can find this adorable image here in the Bugaboo store, plus a whole host of other gorgeous, fun digis which simply scream 'buy me!' whenever I visit!

Naughty or Nice Challenge #40 - Anything Goes!

Well, well, what could be better than a curious kangaroo graphic to start things off for Challenge #40 over at Naughty or Nice? Danielle always picks the best pictures!

Once again, we're delighted to have Bugaboo Stamps on board as our sponsor for this month's challenge. There's a prize for our favourite Naughty card and our favourite Nice card, plus a Random Pick prize too!

Here's my offering, using Bugaboo images' cute digi Morning Coffee.

I decided to play along with the current Bugaboo Challenge, but my colours are a bit 'off' due to the camera and my lack of relevant papers and Promarkers. Its the thought that counts! 

I really hope you can join us for our challenge at Naughty or Nice... We love your 'Nice' cards but we LOVE it when you guys get Naughty!

Naughty or Nice Challenge #37 - Reminder

I'm in denial about the fact that we are half-way through March! Seriously, how did that happen??! Well, at least it does mean that we get to see yet more inspiration from the Troublemakers for the March challenge: 'Feature a Creature', so it's not all bad!

I love, love, love this crazy bunny from Bugaboo! Just look at that fabulously-goofy expression.

I knew that I wanted to use just a portion of the bunny's face for my card. I was delighted to find that the Bugaboo images shrink and grow without any loss of shape or clarity, and can also be cropped easily. I also knew I wanted bright and cheery colours as this card is heading to my sweet little niece, along with some chocolate eggs!

This month at Naughty or Nice, Bugaboo are acting as our sponsors and there are prize vouchers for our winners.

I also created this card for my cousin, using a fun set from Lawn Fawn. Who doesn't love Nessie!

I hope you can join us for this challenge.

Naughty or Nice Challenge #37 - Mad as a March Hare... Feature a Creature!

We've reached the dizzying heights of Challenge #37 over at Naughty or Nice!

This month we're challenging you to 'Feature a Creature' on your card. Unsurprisingly, I've decided to feature a cat! I'm also featuring a creature of the human variety: namely the adorable, and ever so grouchy, Stella from Bugaboo.

We're delighted to be sponsored by Jodie at Bugaboo Stamps stamps this month at Naughty or Nice.

There's a $12.00 voucher waiting for the best Naughty Winner and the best Nice Winner for March!

Jodie very generously gave The Troublemakers some gorgeous Bugaboo images to work with and we all had loads of fun, as you'll see when you head over to NoN central. I knew I wanted to use Bugaboo's Stella for my card, however I usually struggle with digital images as the ink 'bleeds' into the lighter Promarker colours. I've now discovered Neenah Smooth White Paper from Simon Says Stamp and this 80lb card seems to 'hold' the ink sufficiently well for me to colour with very few problems. This discovery can only mean one thing: lots of crafting with digital images!!!

I guess this card is a hybrid as it features a digi (Stella) and some stamping as the pretty flowers around the edge of the card are from the gorgeous Concord and 9th set Happy Day Stamp Set. The sentiment was printed on my PC.

Please come and join us at Naughty or Nice Challenges as we feature some creatures!
