BIO

Everything  That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: 
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 stamps at Totally Stampalicious. 
And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for  weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

This week's winner will receive this great prize...

It will be hard to choose from 

Jodi's fab images.

You will need a sketch to follow 

& it's time to re-visit one of Arlana's 

past sketches.....

Be sure to check out the DT's card's, they have created some stunning cards

 with their Bugaboo Images.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes last week,

Charlie update: Charlie was discharged by the vet last week. The vet is over the moon with his progress. He can't believe how strong the leg has got in the two weeks the cast has been off. Although the leg isn't straight & he has a wee limp, he is doing great. After 14 weeks, Charlie is allowed outside again. I can't tell you how happy he is & how happy Jasper (his brother) is to have his pal back. Thankfully Charlie is being sensible & not venturing to far & he seems to be resting when his leg gets tired.

I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!). And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)

Charlie got his cast off last week, his wee leg seems to be healing, we have our fingers crossed the bones dont re-fracture once he starts using it. He was so glad to get the cast off after 12 long weeks, he licked his leg until it was raw, so the vet had to put on the 'cone of shame'

When we went to pick him up he was huffing & not amused, of course Lara & Becky went into fits of laughing at the poor cat lol!

Below is the inside of the invite

I really enjoyed making this, I may have mentioned before I have a weird obsession with skulls. So I enjoyed getting to use skulls on my invitation.

I sponged a little bit of stubble on the wee pirate. I noticed while recently watching

that they are all a bit rough

(doesn't make Captain Jack Sparrow any less appealing tho lol!)

Sweet Sketch 108 & Bugaboo Stamps.....

2011-06-29T01:05:00.000-07:00

Hello & Happy Sweet Sketch Wednesday!

This is a very happy Wednesday for me. I finished work yesterday for 8 whole weeks!! My youngest daughter finishes school today at mid-day. My older daughter has already left Primary school and I am soooooooo looking forward to spending the summer hols with them

(poor hubby will get a day or two off here & there)

Lara was away on a school trip last week to the Isle of man, a wee island that sits in the middle of the Irish Sea Between Ireland & the UK. She was away from last Wednesday until Sunday morning. We missed her terribly, especially her little sister. Of course Lara had a blast, they went Orienteering, wall climbing, gorge walking, kayaking, they built rafts, abseiled down a 50ft tree & so much more. When she came home on Sunday morning she was exhausted & in need of a hot bath!! and although we really missed her I'm so happy she had the confidence to be away from home, such a fantastic experience for her.

Anyway on to this weeks challenge.

1st up we have another fab sketch from Arlana

next is our wonderful sponsor this week, one of my favourites...

Jodi is offering our Grand Prize winner

7 Digi Stamps to the value of $21

You will be spoiled for choice when you Jodi's visit store, which you can find here.

Good Morning!

It's Sweet Sketch Wednesday time again (doesn't time fly)

My eldest daughter left Primary School last week. I can't believe how quickly that time has gone by.

They finished school with a Leaving Ceremony, it was lovely. Lara & a few others played a

lovely piece on their clarinets. I had a big lump in my throat, she really did us proud. The school choir also sang for us & at the end 96 P7 pupils entertained us with a wee melody of dances to songs that where probably hits way before any of them were born lol!

My lovely daughter.

Below is my card for this week's challenge!

The cute little image is from Amber ink our fab sponsor this week

The Grand prize winner this week will receive a

$15 gift certificate.

I had a tough time choosing my image, they are all adorable. You can check out Amber ink's images here.

Sweet Sketch wednesday....

2011-03-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

Hello there!

So our kittens have started to venture out into the garden & they are having so much fun, chasing all sorts of bugs & watching the birds. Jasper thought he'd like a closer look so he climbed a 30ft tree & couldn't figure out how to get back down. My hubby had to climb up & show him the way down lol! We thought he had learnt his lesson until the following day when he decided to climb a different tree, once again he got stuck so he sat & cried. Charlie his brother was quite concerned about him so went to the rescue & also got stuck! They were up there for an hour & 45 minutes before hubby got in from work & went to the rescue once again.
