Good morning! It's ABC Monday at Catch the Bug...that means Anything But a Card! Those that know me know I love baking and gifting cupcakes, so I have made a birthday treat topper to share with you.

I've used the image Make it Snappy-Birthday Ewe and colored her with pencils. I absolutely love how cheeky she is! LOL For embellishing I've added my signature heart. Here's a close-up:

St. Patrick's Day...With a Pop of Pink

Good morning! It's Freebie Friday at Catch the Bug...today's freebie is the lovely Stella! I must say she looks a bit salty; pretty sure I wouldn't try to pinch her!

I've colored Stella with pencils and accented the shamrocks with glitter. I added some enamel dots for embellishing and then decided they were a "no". Note to self: Do not push so hard, because once they are stuck, they are stuck! So, enamel dots it is! Here's a close-up:

Catch the Bug: Oldie But Goodie

Good morning! It's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch the Bug and in honor of the snow (and ice!) we've been having, I decided to make a snowman card. This image was released last month, so I am hoping that qualifies as an "oldie"...it was so cute I couldn't resist!

The image is colored with pencils and and accented with glitter. I've used a past Freshly Made Sketches sketch, which I flipped. I embellished with some die cuts and a bit more glitter on the snowflakes. Here's a close-up:

Catch the Bug: Anything But a Card

Good morning: it's ABC Monday at Catch the Bug! Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I whipped up a tag using this adorable pup...I couldn't resist the hearts on the string! They were fun to color and "glitter up"; I confess, the glitter is always my favorite step! LOL I trimmed the image, mounted it on a tag, added twine, and tied it to the jar with ribbon. I added some Hershey's Kisses...I can't resist them!
