Easter Time

Hey ladies, it's that time again. Time for a new challenge. Thanks to everyone who played last week. We are getting amazing responses to our challenges.


The new challenge this week is:  EASTER


Our amazing sponsor this week is 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

They will be offering the winner of this challenge  FREE DIGIS


Here are our amazing Design Team samples to get your mojo flowing! 



The rest of our DT will be back with Inspiration next week however, 
we also have 2 wonderful Bugaboo DT ladies here joining us today. 




So, there you have it!  Now, it's time for you to share your EASTER creations!  You've got 2 weeks to participate in our challenge for a chance to win the awesome prize!

We will see you back next week for inspiration from  a few of us and a few  of you lucky ladies.
