Easter Time

Hey ladies, it's that time again. Time for a new challenge. Thanks to everyone who played last week. We are getting amazing responses to our challenges.


The new challenge this week is:  EASTER


Our amazing sponsor this week is BUGABOO STAMPS

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay:
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

They will be offering the winner of this challenge  FREE DIGIS

Here are our amazing Design Team samples to get your mojo flowing!

I am super extra excited about having Designed to Color with us this challenge because the brains behind this magazine is one of my crafting besties, Carisa Zglobicki. I met her many moons ago over at Cafemom. She was one of the first  Card Makin Mamas. I am so excited to be able to spread the word about her newest adventure. In addition, Carisa's right hand girl in this venture is another one of my crafting besties, our very own Miss Lizzie. Please give them a warm welcome and go follow their blog while you are at it. 

They will be offering the winner of this challenge will get their very own copy of the Premier issue
