Party at Going Buggy - The Hop!

I hope you are enjoying the week long party on Enfys' blog! And today it is the blog hop!! En asked me a while ago if I'd like to be part of it - how could I resist?!

And I've made a card too as I don't like to blog without a picture! There is still a card challenge running on her week long party which is bugs - click here to be taken to the post - you have until Saturday 22 January to get your entry in!

I've used a kraft card blank, used some Stampin Up ribbon (tempting turquoise) plus a wonderful stamped image from Polkadoodles which I've coloured with Promarkers. The turquoise and yellow layers are from my stash and the little tiny pearls are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

So, onto the Blog Hop! If you've arrived at my blog from Papercraft Inspirations Magazine blog then you are on the right track! All you have to do, is sign up to follow my blog, add a comment to this post and then hop on over to Paul on the Letraset blog!

I am so chuffed to be the letter between these two places - I am a subscriber to Papercraft Inspirations and I do love my Promarkers and Aquamarkers - how did I manage before I discovered these gems?!

Anyway, the letter you need from me is E. Keep it safe! Good luck! And I'll draw a random entry from my blog to win a bit of candy too - don't know what it will be yet but I'll find something!! You've got to be in it to win it!

Bubble Bath

This was a pretty quick card to put together once I'd re-discovered the card base! The card base is an off-cut from something that I got last time when I visited the Scrap Store. Its the perfect size to make a square card (I got two out of the length that I had plus some spare) and is a lovely pinky purple slightly embossed thick card. Its sort of like wall paper but a lot thicker.

So the challenge this is for is Bugaboo which is:

Embossing

The card is embossed plus I've added a panel that has been through the Swiss Dots folder - I glued it down before I realised the image would cover most of it - doh!! The image is Bugaboo which has been coloured with Promarkers and I've added some tiny flat back pearls from Bunny Zoe's Crafts for bubbles.

The ribbon is from my stash and as luck would have it, a perfect match! I've layered the image onto random bits of card also from my stash (the box level is slowly going down!)

Housework

I must have pages of Bugaboo images already printed and waiting to be coloured. They are so quick and easy to colour and make putting a card together pretty quick! I just need to get a bit ahead of myself and stock up on coloured images! As it is the first week of the month the Bugaboo challenge is:

Anything Goes

I've used a Bugaboo image, coloured it with Promarkers and used scraps of paper (the shoe box level is going down very slowly!) from Funky Hand - Salt and Pepper download. The red and silver card is from my stash.


The tiny little white and black half pearls are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts and I picked them as part of the £10 gift certificate that I won on the Forever Friends Challenge a few weeks ago. Really good service and good prices too!

And this is such a true sentiment and one that I swear by!
