GDT at Bugaboo!



I was delighted to be named Bugaboo's Biggest Fan for June, and it also means that I get to be GDT for one of their challenges! Take that, Kate Middleton, you may be near the top of Most Talked About and Most Attractive lists, but you didn't get your own write-up at Bugaboo, did you? It's all about the choices you make, young lady! *nods smugly* :P



The theme this week is Anything Goes, so get your creative projects entered for a chance to win some of Bugaboo's wonderful digis. I used the image and sentiment from Skelekinz Boys Miss You and papers from the Admiring the Lovelorn set at Crafty Chaos Designs.
These are the challenges I'd like to enter:
Sketch and Stash Challenge - sketch 62, and the string is my neglected stash
Crafty Hos - twine
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - bugs or boys
Lexi's Creations - Father's Day or male
Aud sentiments - male
Some Odd Girl - dude

No sentiment, lol, it's killing me :P



Here's a card I made tonight for a few of the challenges that are out there at the moment. The main image is by Simply Betty stamps and the papers are by Crafty Chaos Designs.
These are the challenges I'd like to enter:
The Burtonesque Dolls - CASE a DT card. I chose to be inspired by Tracey O's beautifully simple Iceflower card. I've used similar colours, and exactly the same layout, with a flower in the corner with wispy feathers behind it (I've never done that before, and I love the way it looks!) AND, the hardest thing of all for me to do . . .no sentiment! Oh the horror! :P
Fussy and Fancy - use a zipper or a feather (two wispy feathers behind my flower)
Crazy Amigos - your favourite stamp. Honestly, I would have had trouble picking out one stamp and saying "This is the one I love the most" so instead, I've gone for "This is the one I've used most often"
365 Cards - Day 30 Mix and match manufacturers. The paper is by Crafty Chaos Designs, the main image is by Simply Betty, the bats are by StampInsanity, the flower is originally by Dana Conditt (recoloured by me) and the flower centre and the feathers behind it are both by Juicy Scraps.
Stamp Something - use something digi
Stamping Vacation You Name the Challenge - no sentiment, lol, that's HARD for me :P

You WILL have a good time! :P


When I was still in primary school, two of the boys in my class had tried to slip away un-noticed because they had decided that the school Christmas party was beneath them, and I can vividly remember one of the teachers dragging them along the corridor saying "You WILL attend the Christmas party and you WILL have fun!" It amuses me still, and this New Year's card has the same feel, I think. You just wouldn't dare to NOT have a good time, would you? :P
The image is a digi called Vicky by Stamp It Crazy, and the paper comes from Admiring the Lovelorn by Crafty Chaos Designs.
These are the challenges I made it for:
Stamp with Fun - sketch
Stamp It Crazy - happy new year
Etsy Inspired - be inspired by an item from La Pomme. I was inspired by the soft blue shades here and here, and the flowers are supposed to look like the pine cone here.
Karber Weekly Challenge - use flowers
Everybody Art - happy new year
Easy Craft Projects - use only old stash
For Fun Challenges - 1 image, 2 buttons or brads, 3 different papers. I've only used one patterned paper, but I'm counting that and the pale and dark blue plain papers as well, hope that's ok :)
