Crafting for Gold Day 7 / Bugaboo

It,s Day 7 of Crafty Ribbons Crafting for GOLD

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

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.

Crafting for Gold Day 5 / Ladybug Crafts Ink

 

Good morning it,s Day 5 of the Crafting for GOLD Event  and  the Company joining us for our 5th Day is

Ladybug Crafts Ink is the brainchild of me, Kerry, wife of one and mother of 3. I started making cards in December 2000 and never in a million years did I think I would have my own online store let along my own line of cling stamps. But here I am almost 10 years later having both!
I was a bit disillusioned with the stamps on the market .... same old same old and anything 'new' was just a variation on the 'old'. Last year I decided it was time to shake things up a bit, found myself an illustrator, Allan McConnachie, to get my ideas on paper and Nikki was born. I also found myself another illustrator, Moira Munro, when I wanted another charachter and Ruby Fairies entered the stamping world.

PRIZE - £10 Voucher for Ladybug Crafts Ink

And the Theme is Decoupage
