Two Times the "Welcome!" and a Freebie!

Happy Friday, 
and Happy Halloween Weekend!

Today we have two points of order: we want to welcome two new Guest Designers, and, of course.......it is Freebie Friday in the Bugaboo Stamps Store! What a great way to start the weekend!  

First, meet our newest Guest Designers!

Meet Jessi Fogan!
*****************
Jessi was one of our Christmas in July winners, and will be guest designing alongside the Bugaboo Teamies for the months of November and December!

Hi, I'm Jessi Fogan - I live in Nova Scotia, Canada in an itty-bitty house crammed full with my husband, teenage sons, three cats, and a dog. Both boys have autism, so although I'm a stay at home mom, I'm also a psychologist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, teacher, and raving lunatic. I love expressing myself through paper art, and you can find my creations at OneCraftyMama.

Meet Dawn Frost!

*****************

Dawn was another of our Christmas in July winners, and she will be guest designing alongside the Bugaboo Teamies for the months of November, December and January!

I'm a SAHM with adult children and a wonderful husband. I look after 2 family members with Alzeihmers and am discovering new baking methods since my husband was diagnosed as a Celiac. I love almost any form of craft and have done cross-stitch, knitting, crocheting, sewing, flower arranging, painting, although my focus lately has been cardmaking and scrapbooking. 

You can visit me on my blog: stamp-n-play

Now that you've learned a bit about our newest guests, we hope you will support them while they are with us by visiting their blogs, and sharing some love!

Now, on to our Freebie Friday!

A New Release and a 'Welcome'!

It’s Tuesday! You know what that means?! Bugaboo Stamps has some new images, and we're sure that you are going to love them all!

*******

Before we preview one of the new images, though, I ask that you all help me welcome the latest Guest Designer to Bugaboo Stamps!

Meet Cindy Messer!

My name is Cindy Messer and I live in TX with my wonderful husband of 12 years and my two beautiful kiddos.  I'm blessed to be a stay-at-home mom.  Before becoming a mom I worked for JPMorgan as a staff accountant.

I've been crafting in one form or another since I was little.  My mom taught me to sew, crochet, embroider and counted cross stitch.  My true love has got to be papercrafting though.  I was invited to a friend's Stampin' Up party and from then on I was hooked.  I love to make cards, mini albums and home decor projects.

I design for the Cut It Up challenge blog and the Scrapbook Blessings Club blog.  I'm also guest designing for Crafty Catz weekly challenge blog.  And I'm super excited to be guest designing for Bugaboo Digi Stamps on the Catch the Bug blog for a couple months.  You can visit my blog at www.inlovewithPAPER.blogspot.com.

Crafty hugs,

Cindy

Cindy will be joining the team through the end of October, so be sure to watch out for her clever creations!

*******

Now, on to the New Release! :)

The DT is playing with the Halloween Silhouette Scene image on their creations today. It's a great time to start brewing up some spooky fun, and this is a perfect image to do that! 

Do you decorate for Halloween? Are you a minimalist decorator, or do you go all out and do the "Big Scare" each year?! No matter your style, this great image can come in handy! Be sure to check out the other newbies in the store, too!

New release images are offered at SALE prices, but only for a limited time! Don't miss out on the deals! You can find all of the latest New Releases HERE at the Bugaboo Stamps' Store.

Before you head to the store, though, check out these wonderful creations that the talented Design Team have to share with you! Please click on the name to link to their blogs where you can leave them some love for their hard work! They sure do appreciate it and 

deserve it, don't you agree?!

Welcome Lyn - Bugaboo's June Guest Designer

We wanted to take a minute to welcome Lyn Tomlin who will be Guest Designing for us through the month of June!

WELCOME Lyn!

A little bit about me:

I am a Georgia girl. I’m not married and have no children except my 7 year old Black lab Cash (As in Johnny Cash– I am from the South after all.) 

Market Research – Focus Groups and such -  is my daytime job. But, as I am a night owl, at night I like to do something more creative. I am a person that loves to learn new crafts so I have done a lot of them from knitting , to jewelry making, to scrapbooking/card making, etc… 

I am so excite to be a Guest Designer this month!

You can visit Lyn's Blog here and follow her while she plays along with us in June!

Welcome to our New Guest Designer

WELCOME to our newest Guest Designer - and Grand Prize winner from the Holiday Chaos Challenge this past December

We are SOOOOO happy to have Mary K joining us for the next few months!

Hi I'm Mari. I am a stay at home mom of five little ones - 2 boys (8 yrs. & 3 wks) and 3 girls (3 yrs. and 2 yr. old twins). I am lucky enough to be married to my best friend, I don't know what I would do without him! When I'm not busy with the family I like to sneak off to my craft room for some card making or scrapbooking.  I found Bugaboo about 3 1/2 years ago and have been hooked ever since! I am thrilled to be a part of the Bugaboo team for the next 3 months. 

Welcome Mari!!

Welcome to our New Designers

Exciting News!  We have two wonderful new designers to add to the Bugaboo Team!
We'd like to welcome our new Guest Designer Dee who will be joining us for January and February.

Hi!  I’m Dee, of Deesdesigns.  I am married to the most wonderful, patient man in this world.  We have two children that have blessed us with 4 grandsons.

I’ve always enjoyed baking and crafting – I think I’ve done most of them from cross-stitching, to stained glass, to scrapbooking.  It was from scrapbooking that I found my love of card making. I started to make a few cards here and there, mostly to use us those scraps of paper leftover from my scrapbooking pages - a new passion was found. 

I still remember the day I discovered Jodie’s Bugaboo Stamps.  I was laughing so hard my hubby had to come and see what was so funny.  Of course, I had to place an order right then and there - I was hooked from then on.  I think I may have the distinction of having the first card posted on the Bugaboo blog!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year – what a great time to be a Guest Designer – I hope I can inspire you all with my creations!

And, it gives us great pleasure to also welcome Angela Pruisman who is joining us as a full time Bugaboo Designer!

I'm married with 2 kids, 2 cats, and 1 dog and work full time as a Registered Nurse on an Orthopedic/Neurology floor.  When I am not working or busy with the kids' activities I love to stamp and visit stamping blogs.  I started stamping almost 16 years ago; I agreed to attend a party my mother was hosting and I remember thinking that I wouldn't buy anything.  Hmmm, that's not exactly how it went...I was hooked from the start!  My beginnings were pretty humble...1 stamp set, black ink, regular paper (not CS), and Crayola crayons.  Yep, that's right...crayons!  LOL  I got my feet wet making birth announcements, both for my cousin and for myself.  My cousin declared them "way cool" but I have my doubts about that!
 
After all these years I am still trying to define my style...I like a little of this, and a little of that.  That's what keeps it fresh and interesting for me...there's always something new and different to do or try.  My two favorite items are patterned paper and glitter!
 
WELCOME Ladies - We are SO happy to have you joining us!!

Welcome New Guest Designers!

Happy Friday & Happy November 1st!

Wow, November 1st already!

You know what that means?  Well, we're sad to say, we're saying goodbye to two of our fabulous Guest Designers who have been with us the past two months, Loll and Lawren!  Thank both of your ladies for your amazing work.  We were so lucky to have you play along with us the past few months.

And with a Good-bye, comes a Hello.  Hello to two of our Christmas in July Winners who will be Guest Designing with us for the next few months.

Say Hello to Leeann

My name is Leeann and I lived in Philadelphia PA until about 4 years ago when my then-fiance and I moved about 60 miles west to the small town of Birdsboro, PA.  We were then married in 2011.   I have 3 incredible children ages 12 to 22 and a beautiful 22 month old grandson.   I am blessed to have the most supportive family who encourages me in everything from work, school and when I hide (and make a mess) in what was once our dining room but is now craft room!   I have dabbled in some different types of crafts but none have really captured my heart like card making.  I can sit and color digital stamps for hours, with the added bonus of turning them into a card that can make someone else smile.  In December 2012, my blog finally went live and I have been enjoying participating in challenges ever since.  I am grateful for all the inspiration provided to me by the themes, the encouragement of design teams and visitors and inspiration from  the entire cardmaking, blogging community.

Say Hello to Vicki Parsons

Hello friends! :-)   My name is Vicki Parson and I'm very excited to join you throughout the month of November as a Bugaboo Guest Design Team member!  These digital stamps are so fun to play with as there is such a variety to choose from for any mood that I may happen to be in!  I am a very happy homemaker to a wonderful husband and a mom to two teen boys.  I enjoy being at home so I am always there when they need me.  I also get to enjoy my favorite pastime which is creating handmade projects!  I hope you will be inspired by my creations that I will be sharing here throughout the month of November.  Please feel free to stop by my blog Stamp Smiles ...I would love to share a smile with you!  

Welcome Ladies - we're so happy to have you playing along with us!!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!

We'd like to take a moment to introduce several new faces to our design team!!

What a great way to kick off the Fall!

We'd like to welcome Laurie Clout as a full time designer.  You may remember Laurie as a previous Bugaboo guest designer.

WELCOME BACK Laurie!

I have had a passion for crafting since I was very young, you could always find me in the craft isle of the library! I’ve tried and done most things crafty, but about 7 yrs ago I was introduced to paper crafting and haven’t looked back! Lol 

I am fortunately to have a loving supportive Hubby and three beautiful growing girls who also have the crafting bug!

I am so exciting to be joining the Fabulous Bugaboo Design Team. This is such a great group and I Love Jodie’s images. Thanks so much for the opportunity, I’m really looking forward to working with everyone.

We'd also like to welcome Loll Thompson and Lawren Fowlkes, our September/October Guest Designers!!

WELCOME Loll!

Hi everyone.  I am thrilled to be a guest designer for September / October 2013 at Bugaboo.

Here’s a little bit about me - I’m a wife, and mother to two adult sons.  I’ve been retired for five years and try to spend time each day creating cards and/or posting on my blog, Stamping with Loll.  I have always loved crafts of all kinds, but I am totally addicted to paper crafting.  There are so many techniques and ways to stamp so I am always learning something new.  I frequently participate in card-making challenges and have made friends with many wonderful people who share the same passion.

I want to thank Jodie and the members of the Design Team for giving me this opportunity to work with them for two months.  I can’t wait to get started! :)

WELCOME Lawren!

I have been crafting for quite a while now.  I learned to sew early in life and my love of hobbies grew from there.  I started paper crafting about 14 years ago, scrapbooking mostly.  I have been making cards for about 6 years.  In addition to sewing and scrapbooking and card making; I taught myself to crochet.

I have a daughter who is my mini-me.  She loves to color  and craft with me and I hope she will continue to grow in crafting.

I love to try new things, new techniques and new challenges. I’m not afraid to give it a try just to see if I like it or if I can do it.  That is why I have enjoyed paper crafting so much.  There is always something new to try and master and I love that.  I think I have a great eye for color and awesome color combinations.  I like to step outside the box and try combinations most people wouldn’t think of putting together.

WELCOME Ladies, we're so happy to have you joining us!!

Remember, you could be picked as the next guest designer for Bugaboo Stamps and Catch The Bug, just visit our blog and enter one of your Bugaboo Creations HERE.
Happy Craftin'!

09/28/2012 Freebie Friday

Autumn's bittersweet - Although we welcome to the bright & busy holiday season, it's still hard to say farewell to the long, lazy days of summer. It's the same here withing the Bugaboo Stamps family at the end of each and every month. .:( Although we're thrilled with and excited by our GDs for 10/2012 & 11/2012 - Damaris Velazquez and  Sarah Taylor - it's very sad to see the backs of our GDs for 08/2012 & 09/2012 -  Lyn (Spyder) Young and  Susie Moore. . .:(

Lyn & Susie, we wish you nothing but happiness and success in your future endeavors! Please try not to step on my hair as I cling to your ankles while you're walking away, OK? ;)

(SIGH!) Well, I suppose that a new Freebie Friday image - Girl Gingerbread | Candy Cane - will cheer up me and my fellow DT members. You too can get her while she's hot and fresh out of the oven! :D

Damaris Velazquez of At Studio D

GD for 10/2012 & 11/2012

Hi, my name is Damaris and I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a 2 year old boy. With a toddler I’m usually busy everyday playing with cars, coloring and watching Nick Jr., but I manage myself so that most days I have some "me time" where I can sit down, play with paper and do a little blogging too.

I've always loved arts & crafts as a child, and when I moved to Florida in 2006 I was introduced to my two favorite stores (Michael's and Jo-Ann), where I rekindled my love for crafting. I love cardmaking, scrapbooking, jewelry-making, party-planning and altering things; but overall I'm committed to every and any aspect of the creative process. My desire has always been to continually develop new skills and share it with everyone; and because of that creative passion, I have made new friends from all over the world.

I am excited to be a part of the Bugaboo Guest Design Team, and I hope to inspire you all.

Sarah Taylor of Aunt Bee's Pickles

GD for 10/2012 & 11/2012

I'm so glad to be joining Bugaboo Stamps as a guest designer. I'm from Iowa and I love it here. I have been crafting in one form or another for a long long time. I love to create things with my hands. I would describe my style as bright and junky. The brighter the better. The more stuff I can get on a card or project the happier I am.

07/31/2012 New Release Tuesday

As if this month weren't exciting enough with the addition of Lyn Young of Spyder's Corner and Susie Moore of The Dies Have It, I have the tee-hee-make-me-pee pleasure of introducing you to the grand prize winner of  Bugaboo Stamps Christmas in July blog hop, the mighty, magnificent, MWAH-tastic Margo Smith of My Scrappy Spot!!! 

Margo Smith of My Scrappy Spot

GD for 08/2012, 09/2012, &10/2012

My name is  Margo Smith , and I live on beautiful Vancouver Island.

I am a Junior Kindergarten Teacher by Day, and a Mad Crafter by night, and at all times I am a military wife, and mom to two busy boys who are 13 and  9 years old!

I love creating cards most of all - with loads of colour, sparkle and texture!

I am proud to be guest designing for  Bugaboo Stamps, as Stella is my all time favorite character  To create cards with!

Our fearless leader Jodie is currently moving to the middle-of-nowhere X 2, so today's new release at  Bugaboo Stamps - Baby Cow - may be, might be, could be a teensy-weensy bit late being posted to our store. Please bear with us - I promise you that it's well worth the wait because who doesn't love baby animals? I love baby animals. Especially piggies. But, calves in cloth diapers run a ve-ery close second. No, really. . .;)
