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
...And our challenge is ABAC...Anything But A Card, so let your creative juices flow!!

Here are the ABAC creations from our DT featuring some fantastic Bugaboo images!

 What beautiful creations and I hope you'll play along with us and show us your Anything But A Card creations.  You could even win 7 digis from Bugaboo, so why not play along with us?!
