Let It Snow, Or....I could go for Rain

Hi everyone.  I had a few minutes tonight after I have been to a 11 year old Cup Scout Day Camp.  We had a great time with the boys today up in the mountains.  It was an all day event.  The weather was perfect until  about 1p.m. when we got a rain storm for about an hour.  It poured and we had thunder and lightening.  It was a good thing we had shelter.  We had the boys inside doing first aide training during that time.  All in all, it was a really nice day.  The rain stopped and we took them back outside for other activities. 

Here is a card I have created for the challenge over at
Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.
The challenge is to use, two buttons, three colors and ribbon. I know it is a little early for Christmas cards, but I just couldn't help myself. Isn't this snowman cute!
I am also entering my card in the challenge over at

Sweet Sketch Wednesday168 and Bugaboo Stamps

Hello everyone, I hope you have had a wonderful week.  Things are starting to settle down a bit for me.  I am sooo glad. Work has been very stressful the past couple of months.  We have had some major changes and I think that we are going to see some positive things happen down the road.  Crafting has been the one thing that has given me some needed sanity.  It has also been a great stress reliever.  Yehhhh, for our card making!  What would we do with out it.
 
We have one of our favorite sponsors this week over at
 
 
Jodie 
from
Bugaboo Stamps





 

Our Grand Prize winner will receive: 7 digi stamps that value $21



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.
