Celebrating Fall with Bugaboo!

This upcoming challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend
is all about Fall!

My grandson very recently became a BIG brother,

and I know that a lot of attention is going to the new baby!

 

I thought this card would be a great way to remind him

 that Grandma has not

forgotten her "used-to-be-little", big boy!

We are also celebrating his making the
"Principal's List" 

(apparently that's a good thing!)

 

 

Using Bugaboo "BB Bratz Ruler Boy" image.

 

 

I popped up the little guy so he sits comfortably on the ruler.

The sentiment is an old rub-on from my stash.

 

If I stick this in the mail today,

he will have it before I see him again!

He loves getting mail!

 

Thanks for joining us at Stampin' For the Weekend!

And now on to our upcoming challenge; the theme is Fall colors . sponsored by

Winner's Choice of 7 Digital Images

£10 voucher

Winner's Choice of 5 Digital Images

Also, all participants will receive a Digi Darla code for a free stamp set just for participating in the challenge this week!

I was fortunate enough to recieve this wonderfully hilarious image from Bugaboo Stamps!

Aren't they adorable?

The big craze is interactive cards, so I made mine in an old-school interactive fashion...

But I couldn't bring myself to use the second phrase that comes with the image...

(and wives need mute buttons)

This card will go to a friend when they most need a pick-me-up. 

I just have to sit back and wait, and some hubby/boyfriend will mess up and I'll send this to make the wife/girlfriend feel much better!  :)

I just had to get silly, with the holiday stress and all! 

With this post post falling after Christmas, but before New Year's,

I thought it needed to fit both.

Bugaboo's "Ruby" has had quite a week of parties!

From her sequined hot pink shoes to her gold globe earrings, she's quite the catch!

(Come on, we all know someone like this!)

Inside of the card:

Stamp - "Ruby Xmas Drink" (Bugaboo)

Paper -  "Hog Heaven" (Sassafras Lass)

Copics Markers

Stickles

I hope everyone has enjoyed seeing all of the creations and joining in the challenges at "Do You Stack Up" over the past year!  I know I have enjoyed every assignment with the gals on the Design Team and look forward to the next term! 

Whee!  More fun to come!

Happy, Happy New Year to you all!

DYSU Challenge #42 - TREES!

Welcome once again to a new challenge at Do You Stack Up?!  This week we want to see Trees on your projects!

This week's Sponsors:

Bugaboo Stamps Winner’s Choice of 7 Digis

The Stamping Boutique Winner's Choice of 5 Digis

Hope Jacare
Winner’s Choice of 3 Images

Yes, this week the challenge is to have a tree on your project, or to have your project BE a tree shape...etc. (you get the picture)!

My image is from one of our terrific sponsor's,  

Bugaboo Stamps, "Poppy Christmas Tree".  Isn't he adorable? 

And I paired him with a "borrowed" sentiment that I had spotted on a friend's card from Unity stamps.  It just seemed to fit the little image so perfectly!

With the holiday season just beginning, I knew I would be making plenty more Christmas cards, so I chose to go with unconventional colors this time around....

Not that I have anything against the typical red and green, but by January, I'm ready to pack away the red cardstock until February!

Wanting to keep "Poppy" as the highlight, I didn't add too many extras.  He desperately needed his tinsel, of course. And the bling is because he's just that kind of guy....

well, maybe not. Doesn't look too thrilled to be there!  LOL! 

I will probably send this to a friend who, every year, says she's NOT putting up a tree because of all of the work involved, yet does it anyway!

The background is the "Mistletoe Kisses" embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

I use that so much during the holidays that it stays out on my table for months!

The pretty, sparkly, striped paper is some old leftover kit scrap from

Close To My Heart.

So, get on over to Do You Stack Up's blog, see what the other gals have made ,
(I promise you won't be disappointed) and enter your own card to win some great prizes!
