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   at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT  for weekly challenges atCatch the Bug. 

One lucky winner drawn randomly will win her choice of 7 digis!  Be sure to check back next week to see if you won!

Joining us this week are two of Bugaboo's DT:

Lori

We also have to bid a fond farewell to DT member June.  June has been an absolute delight to have on the team, and she will certainly be missed!  We wish her all the best and look forward to her maybe popping in when she can!  Stop by and leave her some love on her blog!  She created this adorable Tilda card:
