Free Friday brings FLAMINGOS!!

Today we have some awesome projects that the DT created using this weeks Bugaboo Stamps Free Friday Flamingo!!

This Freebie can be found at the Bugaboo Store and be downloaded for FREE, all week LONG!!

Before I share today's Freebie with you, I wanted to introduce you to our June and July Guest Designer Marilyn Webb.  We're so excited to have her join us for these few months!!  You can read a bit about her below and view her awesome creations at her blog – Marilyn's Cards and More

Hi, my name is Marilyn Webb, and I am so excited and thrilled to be a guest designer for Bugaboo Stamps!  I live in Montreal, Quebec Canada.  I am 56 years old, and the proud mother of three children, and two grand-babies, and have the most understanding husband when it comes to my passion for crafting.   

I love to make anything with my hands.  Over the years I have enjoyed knitting, crocheting, needle-point, decorative painting, but my favourite thing to do is make my own cards.  I have been making cards for about 20 years, and blogging for just over a year. 

My style of card is whatever strikes me at the moment.  I tend to color my image, and then put my card together, which is probably why it takes me all day to make one card.  When I started blogging, I was introduced to the world of Copics, and I love them!   Some of my must have embellishments are ribbons, and flowers, and of course some bling.

When I am not hiding in my craft room, I am usually reading, or enjoying time with my husband.

Welcome Marilyn!  We're so happy to have you joining us!! =)

Do you PINK FLAMINGO LOVE Marilyn's creation with today's Freebie – be sure to check out the rest of the DT creations at our Challenge Blog - Catch The Bug – man oh man, I think we are ALL OFFICIALLY READY FOR SUMMER!!!

BRING ON THE FLAMINGOS!!! =)
