Make a Splash Challenge!

CTB Dottie Theme Challenge Button

Good Morning!  Welcome back to our challenge blog!   We had some great creations for this last challenge thanks so much everyone!   It is time for our  new challenge and this week we are going to try to cool everyone down!   As our title would indicate we are going to have a water challenge as we know Bugaboo has some wonderful “water” images, but it can be any image or it could be  an embellishment, or die cut  so you decide how you want to present it but we want to se some sort of water on your card!

 

Don’t forget your creations can also be made to fit our challenges over at  PCP and CADC for our Wacky Wednesday Challenge! There is still plenty of time to play in challenge #11 which is a Theme Challenge as well .  You could win 5 free Bugaboo images so why not join us!

Now let me share some inspiration from our talented DT.

07/29/2011 Freebie Friday

You're going to want to shout Beam me up Scotty so you can get your hands on this weeks' Freebie Friday image at Bugaboo Stamps ASAP! EEK. . .Gotta run. . .My husband Lance is chasing me about the house for blaspheming Star Trek. . .;) The only worse sin that I could commit would be to tell you to use the force and download it here. . .;) But before you go and purchase billions and billions of digital images, take a look at our DT's cosmic cards below and on Bugaboo Stamps' challenge blog, Catch the Bug.

PS. Lance has excommunicated me and consigned my soul to geek hell (which is probably just a football game, so I guess that's OK. . .;)

PSS. OOPS, I forgot to mention that you can purchase the entire A Kid's View Astronaut collection here.

Note: We make every attempt to get our digital images uploaded to our store by noon EST for Freebie Friday, but please accept our apologies and check back later in the day if they're not there at that time.
