It's A Hauntingly Good Friday Freebie

Thank Crunchy it's Friday!! It's been quite a busy week what with this and a bit of that and some of the other, but the best thing about Friday is the Friday Freebie over on Bugaboo's, Catch The Bug.

Pop over to this bit of Catch The Bug to see what the team have made using him! (I'm there too... I seem to have been given a new name! (shhh!) the neighbours will be talking!) Pop HERE to the store to see more Halloween digi's.

This new image, that's the digi image, not mine, unfortunately that's the same... is part of a collection called Haunted Window (there's more in the store!)
This is what I did with him. First, skimmed round an ivory card with a 'nearly out of black ink, Promarker, to get that rough and not quite ready look. Coloured him using mostly greys and purple Promarkers, and because I still can't find my bat punch, I used the fish skeleton punch instead... I think they look better. Added a shear black ribbon. Added Stickles Glitter. I had some of that lovely Halloween freebie paper from Bearly Mine left over from another Bugaboo card I made last week, all ready printed and the right size, (It goes so well!) so I just had to use it again..
Then camera Batteries bleeped just as I took the first picture, so...back later to show you the inside...
Back again. Here's a few more pictures and the inside of the card.
The Freebie Papers inside the card are again by Bearly Mine, you'll find them here. I turned the opacity down a bit, so they are normanly a bit brighter.
The Font is a freebie, I've linked it before, it's called Teacher's Pet, download that here.
New Followers! Hi and a big (((wave))) to Creations By Shirl and Scrappindede. That's it for now, don't forget to grab the Bugaboo freebie! I'm hoping to add this card into a few...

My Bugaboo Friday Freebie Card.

It's Friday! Which mean "It's Friday Freebie" over on the Bug!! (If he's not there yet, he will be soon!...it's probably still yesterday in America!) Don't you just louve him! It's Stock Monkey, with a pencil, ready for any project you want to make and he's free all this coming week over on Bugaboo! HERE . And see what the Bug-Team have made HERE
See more of his friends HERE and while you're there look out for yesterdays Oldie but Goodie Thursday Creations made by the Bug-team with Images from awhile ago but still 'Goodies'!

Here's my Guest Designer Card: All the Green, yellow and red lines all the way round the card and on the layers, were coloured with Promarkers.
The topper starts off with yellow and green Promarker edging a card, then some wording in black and white, which I did on the computer, then monkey cut out with my deckled edged Nestabilities, so some of him gets cut off. Then to make him whole again, I've covered him with another monkey, then covered that monkey with a monkey with one leg, and lastly, covered that monkey with another monkey's head, paw (hand?) and paw holding the apple. (that's a lot of monkeys!!)
I touched him up (in a nice way!) with a white gel pen. His face got a bit creased where I 'curled' the paper with my finger in the palm of my hand. The 'back 2 skool' was done on the computer, in bold. (white on black)
The Font is a freebie, linked it before. It's called Billy Bear's Crayons, or Google the name or download it @ Billybear4kids(link on side bar)

Happy Friday! I've Scored With A Bug!!!

Yay...It's Friday!! And I can now finally tell you that me, myself, and little I, (little??) have all been invited to join Bugaboo as a Guest Designer for August and September!!
Yay! I'll stop jigging now, coz I've gone a bit giddy! (Ohoo ice cream head ache!)

So!! Here's my very First Card For Bugaboo Stamps using today's fab Friday Freebie!

AKV-Girls-Soccer-7

You can download her all week from the Store where you can also buy the rest of her team mates!! So get your boots on, get over there, download her, colour her up and join in with some of the challenges over on Bugaboo, or even the many Challenges they sponsor.

My Card. First, of course, I did my normal trick of edging the pearl card with a black Promarker. Then I coloured a PNG AKV-Girls-Soccer-7 in PaintNet, saved her to 'My Craft Studio' added my own stripy paper and the Fluffy Clouds paper (PinkPetticoat) resized everything, putting the fluffy clouds over the striped papers and the Soccer Girl over the Fluffy Clouds... easy! (although if you've gone cross eyed at this point...or your brain has frozen over, I'll understand...)

Then copied Soccer Girl again so I had two of her, for a little bit of 3D-ing... printed it all out....and oops...she had green hair...but it suits her, don't you think!?! I like the green hair...it's very now, and will be, until I get more ink for my printer!

I cut a slice off the stripy paper, put in another line of black Promarker down the card, fixed it all onto the front of the card, scribbled round the edges with a fine black pen, cut the other soccer girls legs off... her pony tail and her arms then fixed her body, head, knees, boots and ball, back over the other image using silicone glue.

Finished by adding a bit of glitter to her pony-tail clip, the foam flowers, (coz they aren't so 'girlie' as other flowers) and the green gems. (Silicone glue and a Quickie Glue Pen)

The foam flowers I cut out using a punch and a die-cut. Had them scattered about my worktop most of the week as a little 'hint' as to what was coming... along with the soccer girl papers inside the card. (There was a tiny square of these papers in my WOYWW photo) If you're not sure how to do this there's a 'How to make Your Own Papers' Tutorial over at Bugaboo HERE by Min.
I coloured the digi in PaintNet first, saved as a PGN and then just copied and pasted on to a new Word page and continued to copy and paste until I had enough, turning them every which way.
I also 'tiled' her. (In My Craft Studio) Once printed and cut out, I coloured the strip with a yellow Promarker.
As you can see by the picture, one side of the inside of the card has a pocket, so you can add a gift token or birthday money! (any family watching, it won't be that much...)
The Font is a freebie it's called Dragline BTN dm and you can download that HERE
I have a few Challenges I'd love to enter this little Soccer girl into... Hope you like her! Thank you for stopping by!!!
