Stamp Simply #36 - Going Buggy!/Bloggers Challenge #48
Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge for this week is gettin' buggy with it! Make a card or other project using any bug stamps! And yes, a butterfly or dragonfly is a bug, too! If you don't have any bug stamps at all, how about just any animal that bugs you? (Right now that would be my dog!) As luck would have it, I just got a shipment from Stampendous the other day at the store with some of the newest "Bee" stamps, so they were perfect to use for today! And I'm doing double-duty with my cards because the Blogger's Challenge for this week is to make a red, white and blue card! And because these bees are just darn cute, I decided to just make two cards! These were super-quick to bring together! In fact, what took the longest was just waiting for the glue to dry on the glitter!
Sharon and all the girls on the Stamp Simply team really hope that you'll play along with us today! Hopefully you'll get some extra stamping time with the long weekend ahead? Here are some other great samples to get you inspired! Remember if you upload your creation at Splitcoaststampers, please use the keywords ssnotime36!
