A small CHALLENGE

I'm not sure about you, but when I started, I was a scrapbooker first and then got into cards (a mini-canvas for scrapbooking). 
Well, think small, even smaller than a card today....small as in 2.5" x 3.5". What kind of card are we making?
Artist Trading Cards of course - ATC is something else you may know them by.
New to ATC's? Yep, me too. This is only my second try at these little buggers and believe it or not - I LOVE the challenge of having to create something small (HOWEVER, I won't be trying inchies any time soon), but ATC's, I'm down with!
So - today's Catch The Bug Challenge with Bugaboo Stamps is "Make your very own ATC"
A little card that tells something about you or uses that image that you just love and don't know what to do with!
Mine...nothing better than a little tropical drink with a cherry & umbrella that says PARADISE! Not sure what it is about that little umbrella in a drink that makes it taste SO MUCH BETTER!! Most that know my hubby and I know the beach is where we love to be (especially as the snow flies here in Michigan today).
 Image - Bugaboo Stamps - This was part of a Free Follower Beach Set from last year
Paper - Flair Design print, Bazzill, Kraft & Core Couture
Coloring - Copics
Tools - MS Twisty Punch & Nesties
Extra STUFF - Studio G Sentiment, Doodling, Bling Dots & Dimensionals
small Challenge but of course because it's a Bugaboo Challenge we've got BIG prizes- Bugaboo images of your choice if you're one of the three CHOSEN winners!
And if that doesn't excite you - make a small stop to the Bugaboo Store, check out the new Ava & Deacon and new Stella & Gus Tidbits and I'm SURE you'll join us in making a small ATC for this week's challenge!!
Don't delay - you only have a small amount of time to get your ATC card done - this challenge is open until next Saturday, February 5 at 7 am!
Hugs & Happy Days!
