 I was asked to review My Memories Suite
In case you've never heard of it here's a little blurb about it from their website:
My Memories Suite version 2 software is a complete digital scrapbooking solution that provides a powerful set of creative tools and multiple sharing options that no other software can offer. Its intuitive workspace and enhanced time-saving features are perfect for a beginner to build an entire album in minutes, or to empower the design pro to build a scrapbook album masterpiece. I have yet to really get to play with this awesome software, but it sure looks cool and really easy to use.
Click over to visit their really fabulous site www.MyMemories.com

One of our weekly players will win this software valued at $39.97
Thank you so much My Memories!!!

For my card this week I used Priscilla's beautiful Christmas door digi, colored it in copics then embossed the background dp with snowflakes, added some stitching and pretty white poinsettia flowers and lots of stickles and silver gems.
I hope you'll join in the fun and play along with us this week.
My schedule has been so busy with DH overseas and I seem to be doing more homework than anything else!!! Looking forward to his return!

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - MAKE US LAUGH

Happy Sunday everyone!
I hope you have all enjoyed the first part of your weekend, and will make the most of the rest of it. Personally Monday mornings always come around too soon, don't you think? I've been playing double duty this past week as my DH is overseas and I really miss his company. I'm so looking forward to his return and I know my sweet boy will be happy to have his daddy back too. 
This week over at Pike's Playground we are having another challenge and this one is for you to make us laugh- with humor cards or projects. I had this one in mind for a while as the first time I heard this little rhyme it cracked me up laughing. I love the expression of the Halloween kitty and know I'll definately be using this one again. I colored kitty in copics then used some embossed dp that I picked up in the dollar section at Target! I hope you'll hop on over and play along with us this week. 
Until the next time, have fun!
Hugs, 
Charlotte

I cut the butterfly out of a Martha Stewart punch, then added stickles and pearls.

My card this week is using this gorgeous digi from Priscilla. I just love these ice skates as they remind me of watching the ice skaters during my time in Holland. They also bring back memories of when I broke my arm on New Years Eve when I slipped on a pond while ice skating (well trying to ice skate anyway!!!)
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you will join in the challenge and also stop by CDAC to join in the fun over there too!

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - STARS AND STRIPES

 Happy Sunday to you all!
It's time for another Pike's Playground challenge and this time we are asking for stars and stripes to be included in your creation. You can include one or the other or both if you wish. For my card I chose to do a Christmas card using one of Dustin's cute snowmen holding a star. I colored him in copics and stickles then added some stitching, ribbon (to make my stripes) and some decorative corners. Although the photo doesn't show it there is a lot of sparkles on this card, not only on the snowman but also the corner details too. 
I hope you will come and play along with us today and show us your stars and stripes.
As I write todays post I'm reminded that this is a day in history that we need to remember all those innocent people who lost thier lives, and the many service men and women who are still overseas fighting on our behalf. My thoughts and prayers go to all those who were directly affected by this tragedy.
May we never forget!
Have a peaceful day!

I was nicknamed “Globug” about 30 years ago and it stuck! Hence, the name of my blog, Globug Ideas. I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, where I still live with my wonderful husband, Peter. My mom, two awesome kids and three amazing teenaged grandchildren complete my little family. I am a communications consultant, but lately, I am spending less and less time consulting and more and more time making cards! The day I discovered digital stamps was my very LUCKY day! I love everything about digital stamps! I am truly thrilled to be part of the MMSC Design Team! I love a good challenge and MMSC offers just that! Okay, so with the all that out of the way, let’s get to work on our masterpieces!

    WOW, now that was a lot of stuff to cover! Onto the sketch this week....I chose a Doodle Pantry image to color and had so much fun with these little ants! I colored them with copics then added some stickles on the earth and glossed over the lollipop to make it look wet.
    I added a little grass behind my flower, embossed the white dp and added some fancy gems and that's it!
    I hope you'll take the time to visit my DT sisters and help welcome our new addition to the team.
    Have a wonderful day!
