Good morning crafters! Today we have a new challenge over at Digi Darla’s blog and this week’s theme is “For the Lil ones” We want to see your creations made especially for the little ones. This week’s challenge is sponsored by 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.

 

So, lets get to this weeks challenge! We’re challenging you to make a card or project, using EITHER a Bugaboo OR Digi Darla image - “For The L’il Ones”!!

 

One lucky winner will win 7 Bugaboo images of their choice!!!
