hey baby, you're still my little Snugglebug.

this is my favorite, favorite, favorite paper in the collection. something about that moon is so very charming.


this is another new one from Little Yellow Bicycle. Snugglebug (girl version). and if you're wondering, yes, there is a boy version of this collection too! this is another new collection that's SO new i can't link you to see it yet....but will as soon as it is posted on their site.

i'm working on putting together a giveaway of bits and pieces of all these new collections i've been sharing! stay tuned.....maybe this weekend if i can borrow a camera (mine is *still* in the shop. grrrrr.)

in a close second, as my favorite, is this chipboard caterpillar embellishment. irresistible!

between those favorites and the color combination through this entire collection, i think i could smile forever! don't you agree!? looooooove that melon & light blue combo.


after making the cards, i spent an evening altering these Funky Frames from Kaisercraft with the Snugglebug Collection!


i gave them each a quick coat of paint with a foam brush which made the xacto cutting work not as difficult since doing so helped me avoid handcutting those swirls & scallops. but then after covering the main portion of the frame with the Snugglebug products, i perked up the painted portions with Stickles glitter glue.


and you see that itty bitty little pink flower down in the corner by the snail? that, my friends, is a SHRINKY DINK! Little Yellow Bicycle is selling some cute little characters pre-printed on shrinky dink film. All you do is color on the back with colored pencils & heat in the oven according to package directions. in two minutes----yes---just two minutes, you have a custom embellishment! the flower is one of the smaller shrinky dink items. i'll do a quick tutorial on them when i get some more of the product sent my way.
