Bugaboo Freebie Friday...AKV Fall Leaves

Good morning! It's Freebie Friday at Catch the Bug and I'm playing with the adorable AKV Fall Leaves today. I find it hard to resist that cheerful, smiling face! I've colored the image to coordinate with this fabulous patterned paper from Doodlebug; what I like so much are the not-traditional fall colors. I have to say that I love a fall card in lavender and teal! I've used a past sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #410. Here's a close-up:

New Release Tuesday

Good morning! It's New Release Tuesday at Catch the Bug and these cute daffodils are perfect for your Spring cards. I'm loving the Spring vibe; it's beginning to look like Spring here in the Midwest, but the temps are actually pretty chilly. No worries...it's just nice to see the sun!

I've colored the image with pencils and added a touch of glitter to the watering can, because I like to add it wherever I can...I do love glitter! I've used an older sketch from Sketch Saturday and kept it simple with monochromatic patterned paper. My significant other saw this sitting on the counter after I photographed it and said, "What a pretty card, Honey." How sweet was that? (I really need to make him a card and drop it into his briefcase for a surprise.) Here's a close-up:

Catch the Bug...New Release Tuesday

Good morning...it's New Release Day at Catch the Bug! I'm loving the image today; she is not my usual "go to" but I sure did have a good time coloring her! I found the cutest paper pad at Hobby Lobby; I love the non-traditional valentine colors and thought they were perfect for this image.

She's colored with pencils and accented with glitter. (The kitty is colored to resemble my Wendel!) I've used the sketch from Paper Craft Crew and embellished with some enamel dots. Here's a close-up:
