I seem to be running late but here is my card for the latest CAS challenge over at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a>. It's a fun theme too...to only "decorate" so to speak 1/3 of your card front. Fun, fun, fun!!! I used washi tape from Stampin' Up (<a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144644">Year of Cheer</a>) and a sentiment from <a href="http://papertreyink.com/">Paper Trey Ink</a>. I hope you can join us for this fun clean & simple challenge at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a>.<br />

I was inspired by the forest animals that, even though you can't see them in the photo, I know they're there!! I used from <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> the image <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/products/a-kids-view-akv-moose">A Kids View (AKV) Moose</a>. Found an old Basic Grey paper pack that was at the bottom of my drawer -- figured it was time to pull it out and put it to use. Now join us this week for a photo inspiration challenge at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a>.<br />

It's time to share the latest CAS challenge over at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a>, Cats vs. Dogs. Of course I went with cat!!!<br />
<br />
Some refer to my style as clean and simple...I like to say
it's quick and easy!! 10 minutes was all this card took thanks to the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144166">Pick a Pattern Washi Tape</a>. I even included a scrap of <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133719">Gold Glimmer Paper</a> that I almost threw away (GASP!!). I used the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144666">Cat Punch</a> from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=146014">Spooky Cat bundle</a> (gosh I love that thing!!) and the sentiment from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144749">Spooky Cat</a> stamp set (also part of the bundle). I think I must make a few more of these...they were that quick and easy!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like to submit my card to the following challenges:<br />

Thursdays are Oldie But Goodie days at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a>. That's when we pull out some older <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> images and get creative. I found this cutie, <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/products/brat-cupcake-wagon">Brat Cupcake Wagon</a>, in my stash and decided to put her to use. I added a little sparkle and shine to her cupcake with wink of stella and crystal effects. Pink and yellow, one of my top 5 favorites of color combinations. Now head on over to <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a> and check out what a few other members of the DT have created.<br />

Today is Humor Me Wednesday over at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a>, and I've created this card for National Grouch Day. We all have those grouchy moments, that's for sure!! My <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> image is <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/products/grumpy-gertrude-touch-coffee">Grumpy Gertrude - Touch Coffee</a>. She just makes me laugh!! I do thoroughly enjoy my hot drinks, tea and coffee, and get rather grouchy myself when I keep getting interrupted with questions, phone calls, text messages, etc while I'm drinking them. Now be sure and check out other humorous cards by the <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> DT over at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a>. <br />

I don't know what's going on, I can't seem to get into my stamp room and make a card!!!! So many ideas are running around in my head but when I sit down, I don't know where to begin!!<br />
<br />
Okay, now that I'm done with the pity party, here's a card I did get made for our Halloween clean and simple challenge at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a>. A few die cut spiders (EEEK!!) and a sentiment and a card is born!! I hope you can join us this week at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a> to share your Halloween creations!!<br />

I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately so sketches are always a big help for me. I already had this fun <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> image, <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/collections/halloween-fall/products/autumn-critter-stack-01">Autumn Critter Stack</a> 1, printed off, in the color version no less. I happen to have the pumpkins die cut too so it was a no brainer!! I hope you can join our sketch challenge at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a> for your chance at winning some <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> images of your very own!!<br />

Time to share an Oldie But Goodie card using a sweet <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> image - <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/products/christmas-prim-angel-tree">Christmas Prim Angel Tree</a>. She was in my pile of already printed and even cut out images, screaming to be used on a project!! I did a little watercoloring on the background, something I still need to work on because the randomness of it drives me crazy!!!!! Hahaha! Always need to be in control!! Anyway, some fun pattern papers and a little sparkle and linen thread make the card complete. Now head on over to <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a> to see more OBG creations using <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> images you may have forgotten about and must add to your collection!!<br />

At <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a> this week, our CAS challenge is to use yellow and turquoise. I don't know why I rarely use these colors together so this is a perfect challenge!! Earlier this month I signed on as a Stampin' Up demonstrator so I thought I would hit up some of their stamps sets. This one is called Dragonfly Dreams and the die is Detailed Dragonfly. I did a little watercoloring for the background to bring in the yellow. I die cut the dragonfly twice, once in turquoise and once in black then layered them offset ever so slightly. Can you believe it, no pattern paper on this one!!!!! Now if you are interested in following me on my SU only blog, you can at <a href="https://lindaloucreates.blogspot.com/">Linda Lou Creates</a>. I've got lots of plans in the works to expand my business so by following me, you won't miss out!! Also, if you're interested in any SU products, you can purchase them <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lindaanderson/">HERE</a>. Now enough with the infomercial!! Instead, sure hope you can join us for the CAS color challenge at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a>.<br />

Mondays are Anything But a Card days at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a> and today I'm sharing a quick and easy treat holder. First of all, let me give credit to WOW NOLA Creations for coming up with the idea. Be sure and check out her video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0efIIVSz34&t=392s">HERE</a> for all the measurements. She put a cute little notebook inside hers, and of course I went with candy!!! I had the <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/collections/newest-digi-stamp-images/products/sign-it-cute-halloween">Sign It Cute Halloween</a> image from <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">Bugaboo</a> already printed off and decided to just color and cut out this sweet cat. I can't believe how fun this project was to make...and that's saying a lot from someone who prefers to only make cards!! Now head over to <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a> to see other ABC inspirations have been whipped up for you!<br />

We have a fun CAS challenge over at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a> -- use scraps. Easy peasy!!! I pulled out pieces of pattern paper and got to work! I love the starburst pattern and it's so easy to do, and it's great for those little leftover pieces of paper. The sentiment is from the <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Word_Up_p/j2s-11-023.htm">Word Up</a> set by <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Default.asp">Paper Smooches</a>, Now get out your scraps and make a clean and simple card. Post it over at the CAS challenge at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/">The Outlawz</a> and, if your card is featured, you could join us as a guest designer!! See you there!<br />

What? Not fall already!!! I do love the colors of fall!! And today I wanted to share a fun fall card using the adorable <a href="http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/store/p262/Crows_%26_Pumpkins.html">Crows & Pumpkins</a> digital set from <a href="http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html">Imagine That Digistamp</a>. Of course I went with the color version because I was running late (a real shocker there!!) and really don't like to color (don't hate me!). A fun chance to use up scraps too. Now for more inspiration from members of the Imagine That Digistamp design team, check it all out at the <a href="https://imaginethatdigistamp.blogspot.com/">Creative Playground</a>.<br />
