A NEW CHALLENGE WITH BUGABOO STAMPS ... STUFFED!

Today is the start of  new challenge at Bugaboo Stamps:

STUFFED

Use ONLY paper scraps left over from another project, and this is what I made to inspire you to join the challenge

The image featured on my card is from the Bugaboo store and is called Kidlet - Fireman and is coloured using alcohol markers:

For my background, I used strips of blue and red dp left over from another project, and cut it into strips and wove them together.  The woven background was then embossed using a Swiss  Dots folder (inspiration = Lego)

I also used the following for this card:

a white dp diecut, yellow dp mat, and a white CS base.

Here is the link to the challenge.

ANYTHING BUT A CARD MONDAY WITH BUGABOO STAMPS

My son drops his gf off at work everyday, and more often than not, they're running late (nothing new, is it?).  She is often not even finished her coffee, and has to drink her coffee in the car, so this project is with her in mind:

The Bugaboo image featured on my liner is called Girlz - new job, and I coloured it with alcohol markers
