A little about Jodie and Bugaboo Digi Stamps

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. TodayBugaboo Stamps 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!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Jodie is offering our very lucky winner 

7 Digi Stamps

$21.00

This is a awesome and very generous prize.  I love Bugaboo images so if you want to be into win come and join us this week with this great sketch and if you have one of Bugaboo's Images it would be great if you could use it as well.  There's no excuse not to have any Bugaboo images as Jodie has new FREEBIE
