Bugaboo Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another Bugaboo Hop and Challenge!

Grab some breakfast and join in on the fun. My post is a bit long, so hang tight...

You should be coming here from Angie's blog. If you get lost along the way, head back to the beginning at Catch the Bug Blog. Also if you did not start there, you will want to so you don't miss anything! 

I couldn't wait to make my card for this challenge.... Love is in the Air. I LOVE making these types of cards!! Anyone who has been following my blog will know how many V-day cards I make every year. I'm not sure why I like making lovie dovie cards every year, but I do. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with for their LOVE challenge card! 

I could not resist making this Puppie in a basket my love card. He is so cute and he has hearts surrounding him, my favorite! You can't tell in the picture but I added another layer of lace under the basket, popped it up a bit and sprinkled some glitter on the edges. I tried a new technique to the edges of the white background paper. My fellow Bugaboo DT member Paul (you are headed to his blog next) does this a lot but I got the idea from Nicole Heady's blog. These are straight lines with a ruler or in other words, framing. She said this is a new trend she is seeing in mags all over. If Nicole says it's a new trend, it sure will be! She is always on target with trends!

I guess we are coming to the end of the longest blog post I have ever written, thanks for sticking with me!

Now you will be heading over to Paul's blog. 

Have a wonderful weekend.
