Crop-A-Dile"s Extra Creative Side/ CAS Card


Hello and thank you for visiting today!!!


I had fun creating this CAS card , I seen a similar card in "Scrapbooking and Cards Today" magazine and had to make it, I love the soft yellow mixed with brown and white and I created it in all but 30 minutes! I choose to only put "BE" as the sentiment on the front of the card as I can later put anything I want on the inside may it be Amazing, Creative, You, the list can go on.


Both the yellow and Brown paper is textured which is hard to see in the photo and the yellow paper has white paper on the inside which makes it perfect for distressing the edges, the white really shows, (in a better photo that is!



To create the holes in the yellow paper I used my Crop-A-Dile,  I used both size holes and punch them randomly. I never thought to use this tool for decoration, it will no longer be sitting on my shelf for months without use for I rarely ever use brads.

Have a great day!!!

Bit By the Bug: Another Bug is Born...Love Struck Bears

Welcome to week 2 in our Love is in the Air collection of new releases.  I hope that you all had a faboulous Valentine's day and that you are able to keep the love going every day afterwards.  The next image being released in this new collection is perfect for expressing your affection to a certain special someone in your life...

Both versions of Love Struck Bears are in the STORE in the Special Occasions section under Valentine's and are available for purchase, if you are interested.  Clicking HERE should bring you right to the Valentine's section.


Team Bugalug is up with creations to showcase Naomi's sweet new image this week...
Judith decided to work with the coloured version of the bears.   Check out that background!  The colours suit the image perfectly and I love that they are going down a trail in a different kind of fantasy world.  Great digital embellishments add the perfect touch.  You can check out all the details of Judith's creation by visiting her blog, Judith's Adorable Creations. 
 
I love this bright creation from Suze.  Those bears look at home wandering down through this card.  The contrasting turquoise embellishments are wonderful.  Love that sparkly ribbon.  You can check out the details of this creation over on her blog, Craftysuze.


Monica, a team member of Bugaloo, also had some time this week and created a card using the new release...

Another adorable creation.  Pretty papers and diecuts showcase the bears beautifully.  The sentiment on the inside matches nicely too.  If you are having problems reading it, click on it to bring it up larger in the lightbox.  You can check out all the details of Monica's card by visiting her blog, TaylorMade 4U.

Even Naomi had the opportunity to create a card...
 How sweet!  Naomi also chose to use the coloured version of the stamp (although it appears she has added some glossy accents to the bears themselves) and then nestled it among some lovely diecuts and ribbons.  What an adorable wedding or anniversary card!


Sneak peek guesses...

Thanks to all of you who offered up guesses.   While everyone got the kissing part right, no one got the animal part correct so I get a breather this week.  Probably a good thing considering how far behind I am in everything.


Now, it is your chance to win a copy of the latest new release...

Once again you have the opportunity to win a copy of Naomi's newest release.  In order to have your name in the running to win a copy of Love Struck Bears, I want to know, who in your life gives you the best hugs?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.  Leave a comment ON THIS POST by noon on February 25th, in order to have your chance at winning this image. 

Winners will be announced Feb. 26th during our next new release!

Which means it is time to announce the winner of the last new release.  I had wanted to know,  how old were you when you had your first kiss, do you remember the name of the person you kissed and where did it take place?    Oh my goodness.  Apparently that brought up some rather bad memories from a few of you.  Sorry about that.  However, I do appreciate you sharing and we had some new faces in the mix this week too which was absolutely wonderful.

Now since I made you tell, it is only fair that I do the same.  I was 13 years old.  His name was Mike and he was my very first boyfriend.  We were on a class trip to Niagara Falls and were going through one of the dark museums.  Nothing more needs to be said.

Time to tell you who won a copy of the last new release, Hearts Bouquet.  Since there were six of you who participated,  I'm going to give two copies away...

 Lynda
(randomly chosen at  Mini Web Tool)

Charlene and Lynda, please contact me by clicking HERE with the subject heading 'Hearts Bouquet' to get your copy.  It might take me a few days to get back to you, so I appreciate your patience.

Now for our next love related joke...
Q: What did one pickle say to the other?
A: You mean a great dill to me.

Well that is it for this one!  I'm actually managing to keep up with most of the Olympics.  I'm trying to listen to what I can during the day while I work on the computer and watch as much as I can at night.  Canada has slipped down quite a bit in the medals list but at last count we were up to 17 total.  We got 26 in the last winter Olympics so hopefully there are a few more in store for us.  
Please join me on Saturday with the next sneak peek.  Until then, have a fabulous week everyone!
