Alright....on to some cute bugs! Our theme this week is HUGGABUGGS and I chose to colour up one of my fav's, Stamping Bella's bffABUGGS. They look so happy to be together and most of all, they don't look like they bite!
I'm not even gonna go into the markers that I used because I coloured over it so much with pencil to get it to match my basic grey hello luscious paper that the marker colours have become irrelevant. But I will say that I stamped them with memento ink on bella's BESTEST paper!
Next week our challenge will be a sketch. OH HOW WE ALL LUV A SKETCH and what a wonderful sketch we have from our Cathabella. So pull out ANY bella stamp and get going because the tough part has been handed to you. AND if you want to get fun in your journal, there is still time for Emily's art journal Monday and our theme is circles! I have a couple ideas running thru my head and you know I'll be playing along because I am beginning to cherish my art journal (it's getting CRUNCHY!!!!)
Let's see, what else? Oh, I've had three comments on what you want me to colour next and I have (hope I didn't miss anyone!)
- coffee girls from Beth
- shopping Uptown girls in GREEN from Margo
- Anastasia from Bren
You are all in luck! These were all on my order list and will be the first ones I colour up when I get my rubber. If there is anything you would like me to see me colour, and yes, like Margo, you can even pick your colours, let me know and I'll get on it! Kinda like my own personal challenge here!
Till next time...Linda.

Hello Linda,
Brilliant card and your colouring is just perfect.
This may sound silly, but try pouring vinegar on the bites, it's supposed to take the itch out...xx
Oh my goodness, these bugs are far too cute to bite!! Another beautiful card Linda!
love your card....you might just have to net yourself..lol..thks for sharing
Super cute Linda, love your colours my dear !!
Believe it or not Linda, here's the recipe to stop all itching from mosquito bites: take half a lemon (or lime) and skewer the end where the navel is, not the sliced surface). Then put the sliced end of the lemon half directly over an onto the open flame, rotating every now and then until one area (maybe a fourth of the open sliced area) is blackened. Then carefully touch the super hot blackened area of the lemon directly onto the bite. Initially, just tap the burned lemon onto the bite so as to bounce the burned lemon off the bite, but each time hold the burned lemon onto the bitten skin a little longer as much as you can possibly tolerate.
When the lemon cools off, re-heat it on the open flame and continue applying the hot lemon or lemon rind to each bit as hot as you can stand it. It will burn your bite a bit but will kill the itch completely. I've been doing this since I was a kid. It's the only way I know to kill the itch from a bug bite.
Email me if you want me to send you a video tutorial. (funny, I know)
P.S. I forgot to specify that the lemon/lime should be skewered with a fork or metal skewer.
benadryl my friend!! This is so sweet my friend I love it
Your bugs are cute, mosquitos, hate them. Hope your bites clear up soon.
Your 'buggs are darling, Linda and beautifully colored, just like always! :)
What a gorgeous card Linda.
Hugs Riet.xx
Adorable huggabug card !
I used the same stamp this week, so I like to think that "great minds think alike"!!
Can't wait to see the shopping uptown girls card - in green!!!
Then I can case it for my good friend's birthday!! LOL
About your bites, have you tried hydracortizone cream (i don't think I've spelt that right, but you get the idea). I used to have violent reactions to mosquito bites too, and that was the only stuff that worked.
Fabulous cards, as always. You are an inspiration.
I hear ya...these huggabuggs are the only BUGS that I like, that's for sure...and I don't even OWN any, bwahahaha! My son is extremely sensitive to mosquito bites too so I can relate :( Hope you have a great week!
Gosh, these huggabugs are so freakin' cute!
