So onto this week now.   We have the super wonderful Bugaboo Stamps back on board as our sponsor this week.  Here's a little bit about Bugaboo Stamps:


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 this week is B's...so anything that starts with the letter B-black, blue, butterfly, bling, button, birthday, boy brads, image that starts with a B,etc is what we want to see on your creations.  One lucky winner will receive 7 free digis courtesy of Bugaboo Stamps!
Here is some fabulous inspiration from our DT featuring Bugaboo Stamps!
