Bugaboo OBG, Raising Teenagers!

Hello, it's Oldie but Goodie time over at Bugaboo's Catch The Bug Blog! For my card today I used 'Raising Teenagers' I laugh everytime I see this image & sentiment!

I coloured the image with copics, and added crystal effects to her glasses and the jello. The card base is rich razzleberry, with a layer of dp I had in my scrap bin. The image was cut out with petite oval nesties. I added a paper doiley and then cut the sentiment with a die-namic fishtale flag.

Pop on over to the Catch The Bug Blog and see what other Oldie but Goodies are being featured. It's nice to see an image you may have forgotten about, or maybe even one you've never seen!

Have a Great Day!

RILEY2413, Thanks!

 Hello, it's time for a Riley and Company Challenge, and this one is brought to us by Michele. She's challenging us to make something using the Thank You theme, but it doesn't have to be fall! I made a box of cards, that can be given as a gift of Thanks!

I used Swinging Riley and coloured him with copics. I love this box for giving cards, it's finished six is 6" wide by 3" deep and the back is big enough to fit a 6" square card easily. You can find the box tutorial here.

I used some bazzill cardstock and found some designer paper in my scrap bin that matched pretty good! The branch is from the bird punch and at first I just had it there, but it needed something, so I added the little flowers.

Please join us in our challenge and make a Thank You card or Project. Then just upload it to the Riley and Company Blog, and if you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY2413.

Have a Great Day!

Oldie But Goodie, Snow Time!

Hello, this is an oldie but goodie from Bugaboo stamps, called AKV Snowman - sled.

Challenge #6 for our Kards For Kids group is Holiday in Spain...black & white inspiration. I was having trouble figuring out how to make a cute kids Christmas card with that theme, then my Daughter suggested a snowman, so this is what I came up with...had to add a touch of red, and orange for his nose!

I also used the Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC197.

Have a Great Day!

RILEY2313, Use A Sentiment!

Hello, it's challenge time at Riley and Company, and this week Joy is challenging us to Use A Sentiment! Super easy with all the great Funny Bones sentiments from Riley and Company.

I used a New Funny Bones sentiment 'Lick The Cupcake' (RWD-187).  The card base is concord crush, with a layer of dp? and apricot appeal for the corner pieces.

I also used the sketch SC461. The first time I cut the square for the corners the corner tore!!! so I made another one and then cut it on the wrong angle!!! so I gave up at that point and flipped the sketch! lol

I'm also entering this in the C4C211 challenge 'Let's Frame It'

Please join us in our challenge and upload your creation to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums, please use the Keyword RILEY2313.

Have a Great Day!

FMS111, Rudolph Caroling!

Hello, I made this for the Freshly Made Sketch FMS111 and for the Kards 4 Kids group. This is for challenge #7, you can see it here.

I don't have any caroling stamps, so I was a little stumped at first as to what I was going to make! I had one of these reindeer made already on my desk, I'm making ornaments for my kids (I'll show you them later) and I thought this just might fit!

The card base is riding hood red, with a layer of white embossed with a music embossing folder. The dp is from Recollections Christmas pkg.

The Reindeer was made with various punches.

Have a Great Day!
