Challenge Time!!! Show us your colors!

The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa begins on 06/11/2010 and ends on 07/11/2010. The official website is here. The World Cup is only held once every four years and is the world's premier soccer event. 

Since we have a lot of international followers (Germany, The Netherlands, South Africa, Greece, Malta, etc) and an international DT (US, UK/Wales, Australia, and Canada), we thought it'd be fun to have sponsor a challenge where people make either a card or project that features:

  • the team colors of the country that he/she wants to win the World Cup (I'd say "Go USA" except that we have no chance of winning, so "Adelante Espana!")
  • the colors of his/her national flag
  • the colors of his/favorite sports team (i.e. silver & blue for the Dallas Cowboys)

    Participate in the challenge for a chance to win the following prizes:

    • 1st prize - 7 Bugaboo Digi Images of your choice
    • 2nd prize - 4 Bugaboo Digi Images of your choice
    • 3rd prize - 2 Bugaboo Digi Images of your choice
  • Head on over to the challenge blog for all the details!

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!!
