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.

Challenge 3 - Seeing Red

Wow, sorry I'm late today but very hectic at home lately.  I can't believe how many entries we've had for the last challenge.  Here's hoping this weeks theme will prove equally popular.  I thought we'd have a colour challenge this time so our theme is 'Seeing Red'.  Hopefully that ties in with all your valentine projects.

Our sponsor is Letraset

ProMarkers are made by Letraset and are a twin tipped, dye based alcohol marker offering a high quality product at a great price. Avilable in 148 colours, they give incredible tonal range and can be applied to a diverse range of materials, not just paper and card. ProMarkers produce vivid, bright colours right through to the subtlest pastel shades - the translucent inks can also be overlaid and blended, even further extending the range of shades and hues on offer. ProMarker's quality nibs and inks provide flawless colour lay down with consistent coverage and no unsightly streaking. 

Our prize is a six pack of Letraset's flexmarkers

Isn't that fab?  I'll be back later on with the winners of the last two challenges and hope to see you guys entering the current one.  If you need any ideas, our wonderful design team have done it again:
