A little about Jodie and Bugaboo Digi Stamps

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. TodayBugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Jodie is offering our very lucky winner 

7 Digi Stamps

to the Value of 

$21.00

This is a awesome and very generous prize.  I love Bugaboo images so if you want to be into win come and join us this week with this great sketch and if you have one of Bugaboo's Images it would be great if you could use it as well.  There's no excuse not to have any Bugaboo images as Jodie has new FREEBIE

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #166

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday.  Wednesday seems to come around each week quicker than our Saturday's and Sunday's well that's my theory anyway.  That can only mean one thing that it's 
Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Congratulations to our winner and our Top 3 cards.  Oh where oh where did all our entries go to this week.  I know it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere and your all enjoying those wonderful summers evenings.   I've noticed that our evenings are getting longer 6pm last night and it was still daylight and it's won't be long before we put our clocks forward for daylights saving.  It seems to be getting warmer as our winter hasn't been that cold this year.
  

This week Arlana has another great sketch to work with.  I know you'll just love this one and it looks awesome once finished.

Sketch #164

Here's my card using a beautiful image

 from this week's sponsor

Digi Doodle Shop.  I had so much fun colouring my image and I'm so happy how my card turned out.

This image reminded me of my Dad he always had beautiful gardens fruit, vegetable and flowers and he always had a bed of Marigold's in our garden.

A little Bio on two amazingly talented ladies the mother and daughter team from

Digi Doodle Shop

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations.  We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.

Sincerely,

Judy and Joy

Today  is Wednesday and it's

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I'm currently away with my family for a week of a little relaxation.  We're having a couple of days in Rotorua where there are Geyser's boiling mud pools and wonderful thermal swimming pools and there's so much for the boys to do at this time of year.  Then we're off to the mountains from there on Tuesday for four days of skiing and snowboarding. 

Congratulations to our winner and our top 3 cards, I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment on all your cards this week as I've had very little Internet access. 

Today is Wednesday and that means Arlana has a new sketch for us but this week she has a blast from the past which was sketch #34 and this weeks sketch is

Pattie Gomez Bio

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.

My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed.
Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Allie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #159

Image: Coffee Break

Welcome everyone to another wonderful Wednesday.  I'm sitting here typing up my posting and my nose and finger tips are icy cold.  We're currently having frosty mornings but today it's rained over night here in New Zealand which you've got to expect for this time of year.

My boys finish school on Friday or after their sports on Saturday for a 3 week break.   Both boys lost their Soccer games on Saturday but Liam won his Water Polo game 13-O which was a great result.  Their team is doing so well this year they have only lost 1 game and only by 1 goal difference. I'm so proud of them all as this team have come such a long way  after starting out not one of them had played a Water Polo game before and now have been playing together for the last 
18 months .

Wonderful Wednesday means it's another 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards from last week, awesome work ladies.

This week Arlana

 has another great sketch for you to work with.  I know you'll like this one as it goes together so quickly and shows off those lovely design papers.
