Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

That was two years ago. TodayÂ Bugaboo StampsÂ 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!Â If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can findÂ Bugaboo StampsÂ atÂ Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join theBugaboo StampsÂ DT for weekly challenges atÂ Catch the Bug.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started card making about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a card making kit which we did together, but Iâ€™m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrap booking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.Â I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.Â This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Mr.pokadots and a ziplock bag

Ok, so while on the tiddlyinks group chat I crafter mentioned how they only had ziplock bags and no glassine bags. For my previous tiddlyink project I used a glassine bag for a fathers day gift idea. So I thought I try out a project using the ziplock bag. The image I used is something I drew up (super exciting),its actually my first ever digi! I wanted him to look like he was eating the cookies. I colored him in with my Copic markers and added dots so my son came up with the nameMr. Pokadots. He also chose the color of the tie.

NEWS! I am a Digi Darla DT!!

Hello everyone! I am so excited that I have been chosen to be a design team member for Digi Darla. I know I will be working with some awesome ladies. If you don’t know about Digi Darla let me give you the 411

DigiDarla is the brain child of Kim Eskola and her daughter Emilea.

Emilea and I both enjoy creating and when the idea of creating digital stamps came up, it sounded like the most wonderful way to earn ever!

There was only one problem! We are both shy and dislike the center of attention! As a way of “hiding behind the scenes” and avoiding having one spokeswoman, DigiDarla was born!

The stamps you will find in the store and on this site come from our art as well as a few family friends that help to digitize so we can keep up. Even Emilea’s art teacher has granted permission to create digis from her artwork.

Working with Emilea on this project has been a wonderful blessing and has stretched both of us. Emilea is a busy teen with her passion for art and training our 2 horses, piano and violin lessons, and squeezing in high school classes somewhere in between! She is also the oldest daughter in a family of 11!

I guess that brings you to me, Kim. Yes, I am a busy mom of 9. We do home educate and wouldn’t have it any other way! (well, um, yeah…yes…that’s right, I think…LOL!) Yes, yes, really it is!

I love being able to be home and part of all my children’s lives…but it has not always been easy-like my big haired idea to start this site (was that really my idea? What was I thinking?)

I am looking forward to getting to know you! Feel free to send me any questions you may have about DSC. I will be happy to help!
