A new Sponsor Card at SMC!

Today I get to do a card for our Sponsors this week which just happens to be Bugaboo!  Well what some of you don’t know over at SMC is that I am the  Design Team coordinator for Bugaboo Stamps.

Here is some info about our sponsor this week!

small bug

Bugaboo stamps can be found here.

My name is Jodie .  I have 5 beautiful children, Skye (16), Isabella (almost 3), Desiree (9), Sean (11), Michael (12) Add in a dog and a cat to that .....a houseful!  They keep me very busy and no...I am not crazy...LOL..well ..maybe a little!

I have been designing graphics for 7  years, mostly for those who digitize, and now venturing into this new idea of stamps. I love to draw and love to see were my designs go and how they are used.

I find making people smile with my graphics very rewarding!

When you live in a tiny Saskatchewan town, sending your images to Iceland, the Netherlands, Africa to name a few is very exciting!

For many many years I drew mostly cutesy kids graphics you’d find on baby or kids clothes, alot of which you’ll find here. But my latest passion is my cranky old boots....Stella , Margaret and the Gals who came after them.

I live in a tiny Saskatchewan town. Before moving to Saskatchewan I lived in Alberta.....were i could get a DONAIR!! LOL (sure do miss them) I enjoy reading V.C Andrews, love anything to do with crafts (I just wish I had the time to do them!) I love to draw (obviously) write poems, LOVE Bon Jovi, and am in the middle of writing a kids book I would love to see published one day.

Jodie♥

For my card I used PTI card stock for the base, and for the border which happens to be the new Die from PTI also.  I then created my own background paper with the drinks and clocks, brayed the paper and cut it to fit my cardstock added some bling and there you go.  Thanks for stopping by today!!

Below is my card that I created for this week’s challenge.  I used the image that is from Fred She Said  and thought it would make a great mans card.  Please note the image is a pre-colored image, these are great when you are in a hurry and yesterday I was in a hurry.  I like how the image looked split.  I used the Martha Steward zig zag punch to create the border.   I hope you will join us for the challenge this week.

Another Challenge at SMC

Hey all sorry  my post is late, had to spend the night with MIL last night who had just had surgery earlier this week.  It was my turn well she does not have internet access and I was not aware of this until after I had gotten there.  I apologize for the delay but there was nothing I could do.   So this weeks card for SMC is to create an Easel card, I absolutely  love Easel Cards.  I love how easy they go together and I love how they look once finished.

The image is one of the new Tayla Love Tree it just made me thought of encouragement when I saw it.   With my card I used an image form http://gingershouse.blogspot.com/a favorite sentiment site for me. I used paper from One heart on mind.

Hi Everyone, my name is Stitchy and I create under the name Stitchy Stamps...I have been creating digital images for designers for almost a year now and try to learn something new everyday...I started out in paint shop pro about 8 years ago and started making digital scrap kits...then I was introduced to the wonderful world of paper crafts and card designing...like I said, learning new everyday, the rest is history...I can't draw enough to keep me satisfied anymore lol...
Living in a small town in upstate New York, tucked away where cable doesn't even go...friends are far and few between...But being on the internet for the past 10 years, I have gathered quite a few from around the world...Just like I learn something new everyday, I also try to meet someone new every day too...
Thank you Angela and Company for allowing me to sponsor for you...I am truly honored...

Now here is my card:

On Your Special Day!

P1030664

I did this wedding card a few weeks ago for a wedding that my husband and I attended.  I found out that they made their own invites and they were very nice.  I asked about their colors and found out they were ivory, and gray and navy.   The ivory paper they used was gorgeous and I decided to use it for their card also as well as the ribbon that was on their invite.

Of course I used the Bugaboo image which is way cute.   I hope  you like it, and thanks for stopping by today!
