I made this to give to my nieces Mom

when my niece is born in October.

Love these little girls - they were

freebies a while back 

but now they're available in the shop.

I took dowels and wrapped them with

green florist tape and then put

the scallop circles on the tops with the digital

images on top of them.  Super EASY!

clean and simple.

It's just not me...

Then I thought of making some baby shower thank you's

and this is what I came up with.

So...what do you think of when you think

clean and simple??

Show us what you got.

Enter in the Catch the Bug challenge blog

for Bugaboo.

New Release at Bugaboo

It's Christmas in July with

Bugaboo

Yep, that's right in hope of a jump start

to your holiday season card giving, Bugaboo has a

month of Christmas new releases.

I wasn't to excited about this whole thing at first,

but then I made a Christmas card and

I gotta say....it was fun.  I hate winter and dread the

thought of it so making a winter/Christmas card doesn't

sound like a good time to me.  But I'm happy to report that 

I was pleasantly surprised.

So go check out more like this little snowman

in the store.

And check out our challenge at

Catch the Bug
