Bit By the Bug Tuesday: Meet the Flockers

Hello everyone!  It is Bit by the Bug Tuesday! If you are new to the blog it is that day of the week when I share with you all, the latest freebie available over at Creative Bug on the Loose.  As I mentioned last week, Naomi is currently not doing too well although there has been some slight improvement.  No fear though, I've stepped in to help her out so for the next few weeks, you'll still be able to take advantage of her weekly freebie.  Keep reading to find out how to nab it.

This week we have "Meet the Fockers" for you. 

Hee Hee.  I had fun naming this image.  If you don't get the pun, I explain it on Naomi's blog.  As for card ideas, there's a plenty.  I've created an encouragement card.  Two other friends that I roped in to helping out  graciously offered to assist me, came up with different ideas on how to use this image. 

Here is the front of my card...

Here is a closer look at that cute image...

Here is the inside....

Here are the card details, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...

Note: I apologize if there are any formatting issues.  This is a scheduled post and we all know Blogger has a mind of it's own.  If it turns out that something looks wonky, i.e.--part of the sentence is a different size, font, or colour than the rest, I'll fix it as soon as I'm able to.
