Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay As if raising five children in the  frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! If your taste runs to rubber (and  you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

This week's SPONSOR PRIZE is ...

That is a $21.00 value prize package!!

Sandie Gough





Hello everyone, My name is Sandie but you probably know me better around blogland as Fairytale Daydream.  I was very excited to be asked to Guest for the challenge and I really hope you like my make on the theme.  I am happily married to my best friend and together we have 8 children and we are a very tight team, and I love them all so much.
I have been crafting in one form or another for as long as I can remember but I suppose I’ve been into paper-crafting properly for about 7 years.  First with decoupage and then stamping.  Stamping led to inking which I adore and love nothing better than getting messy distressing something or other!  Then I discovered digi stamps and that led to my obsession with alcohol markers and the amazing effects you can achieve with them!  Now I am an eclectic crafter!  You can find me colouring for hours, but then covered in ink and mist spray or layering papers to create the perfect backing! 
Thank you for letting me introduce myself and I hope you join the challenge too!
