HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

With a New Year comes something brand new from all of us at Bugaboo. Starting today, every other Sunday over at Catch The Bug, we will share with you a sketch. Well, when I say 'we', I mean STELLA! And when Stella Says Sketch, I think we need to listen...

So here is the very first Stella Says Sketch sketch:

I am really enjoying one of the latest releases from Bugaboo, the AKV Ninjas and have used three of themto create my card.

I have used Pacific Point from Stampin' Up as my colour choice and used the Grunge Me stamp set from Papertrey for the backing panel and sentiment. When I first ordered this stamp set, i wasn't sure why I wanted it but it screamed 'Buy Me'. I am so glad I did as I have used it so many times. You can create some great backgrounds with it.

So if you want all the details about this new challenge or simply want to see more Bugaboo goodness, then head on over to Catch The Bug right now.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Crafters Circle ~ Anything Goes     Delicious Doodles ~ Anything Goes

Frosted Designs ~ NEW (new images)     Glitter Geeks ~ New (images are new)

Kaapow!!!

Get ready for this week's Tuesday New Release at Bugaboo and time for some non Christmassy images to appear once again. This is the AKV Ninja! Great for masculine cards.

I cut the card blank and all the circle layers using my grand nesties. So good to be able to cut large, neat circles. There are 7 new ninja images available so head on over to the shop to check them out.
