This week we have Bugaboo on board with us! Love their fun images

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.
Our challenge for you this week is For The Boys. So show us those cards for the special men/boys in your life.  Masculine cards are ones that I definitely do not make enough of so I love these challenges.
Our lovely DT was lucky enough to work with some super cute Bugaboo images, have a look:-)







Lisa

So there you have some wonderful inspiration for the boys/men in your life and I hope you'll play along with us this week...especially for your chance to win 7 digis from Bugaboo!!

Stay tuned for a fun little contest featuring a new company.....
