Stephanie, I have been a fan of yours before you join Bugaboo stamps and I see you continue with your talent and style. I enjoy your music while I check out daily your new creations. I wrote you a long time ago about sewing on cards. You continued to inspire me and I continue sewing and have now got other people trying. So you word and talent has spread. So glad you are now apart of the DT. They made a great choice.
Ha! That sentiment is great!
This is hysterical! Love what you did with Gus!!
Fab card! Love the expression on Gus's face! Matches the sentiment, perfectly!
Gus is so fun; and I love your lay out. The stitching adds alot.
Stephanie,
Its great to see that Gus has joined the party! Your card is great and the DP that you used actually looks like fabric! Maybe it is?? Its great though! Gus looks like his same ornery self and he can always put a smile on my face.
Thanks for the work that you put into creating your part of the blog hop, its been great!
*Hugs*
