HUG A BUG!

Another adorable image from Designed 2 Delight by Faith. Also inspired by Card Ideas to name a new holiday. As a school counselor I teach my elementary students that 12 hugs a day keep you Happy and Healthy! It is a proven fact, so each class lesson starts with us giving ourselves 12 hugs with #12 being a Bear Hug! (we don't hug each other because of that other little bugs called 'head lice' LOL!)

So my new holiday is

HUG A BUG DAY!

I would like to thank Hannah at 365 Cards, Day 31 to use poetry.

 I 'grabbed' the verse she used today for her DT card. Thanks Hannah!

Sorry about the bad picture, a little dark this time of night in the house...
I am entering this in Card Ideas and in Designed 2 Delight to use the above image, Ladybug Bloom.

Thanks for stopping by!  SAM

Bug Me Anytime!

Love this sentiment. Living my life as a school counselor I have people confiding in me about issues they have, usually about their children. They always apologize for bothering me and really it doesn't bother me at all. So the saying "Bug me anytime!" feels so appropriate. Maybe I'll carry this card with me and give it to the next person who apologizes! I combined the freebie "Caught A Bug" set from Faith's Designed 2 Delight and one of the first SU! stamps I bought a couple years ago. I had it in my head to use transparency film to make a 'jar window' in the front and expand on the lady bugs on the inside. Sometimes executing my ideas is not so easy...


This is the front...

and this is the inside...

I am entering this buggy card in the following challenges...

Designed 2 Delight to use this set so I can get a free digi next Friday!

Off the Wall Craftiness - to use the following color combo

Paper Cutz Challenge - is open to anything goes

Sugar Creek Hallow - is an anniversary, anything goes

Craft Challenge - is paper piecing, just did a little, that would be the cork stopper on the jar.

Truly Scrumptious Challenge - To tag it.

Creative Sketches - use a technique of Fancy Folds, Cuts, or Punches. This card was all about cutting (!) and I also used a punch for the tag

I hoped I didn't 'BUG' you too much today ~ Tee Hee!

Have a great rest of the week-end!

Quick card for today after I woke up at 3am with a huge sore lump in my throat - tonsils? Never had that problem before. But after numbing it with caffeine it does feel better. No temp Kimberly (my DD) so I will go to work today. After all, it is Principal's Day and we are all dressing with a suit coat and tie. I'm borrowing a tie, if you knew my DH you would know why! Well, after all that caffeine, this is what I came up with...

I am entering this card in the following 3 challenges ~
