Bit by the Bug Beginnings: Another Bug is Born

 

You are going to want to go and visit Creative Bug on the Loose today because a new Bug has been born.  Naomi is sharing with the world her newest release:

Brynn's Baby Bump

This week I'd like you to meet Brynn.  She has a serious baby bump going on.  Brynn is happily married and you just might meet her husband in a couple weeks.  By the look of that belly, she is ready to pop and I'm sure both Brynn and her husband are excited but probably a bit anxious.  Maybe they can get some parenting advice from CBD's first family, the MacBunny's--Bellina, Maximus and Baby Benito.  I'm sure Bellina and Maximus could offer the nervous expecting parents a few helpful tips.  At least Brynn won't have to worry about the baby being born with teeth already like Baby Benito was.  That will certainly be a blessing.

Now, how would you like the opportunity to win a copy of this beautiful lady and her baby to be?

Naomi is having a draw to win Brynn.  To find out what you need to do, make sure you head over to the blog and follow the directions that are listed.  If you complete the tasks, your name will be entered into a draw. 

So, don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity.  Head over to Creative Bug on the Loose.

Bit By the Bug Tuesday: "Time Well Spent"

It is time for another Bit By the Bug Tuesday.  The day where I introduce you all to the newest freebie over at Creative Bug on the Loose.  This week we have...
 

"Time Well Spent"

Parker and his papa don't get to spend a lot of time together so when they do, they try and do activities that give them the opportunity to be outside away from the distraction of phones, computers, televisions, etc.  No cell phones allowed on this dock.  Just time to sit and be with each other and talk about all the things that can sometimes be difficult to bring up when at home.  It is unfortunate that not all boys out there get to have this special time with their fathers.  Parker is a lucky young man; so is his father since the memories he makes here with his son will be some he can cherish forever.

So, what are you waiting for?  To take advantage of this endearing image, head on over to Creative Bug on the Loose and follow the instructions on how to bring Parker and his father home with you.  While you are over there, don't forget to check out all the great digis Naomi has available in the store for purchase and don't forget to leave her a little love too.

Bit By the Bug Tuesday: "Love Comes First"

Welcome to another Bit By the Bug Tuesday where I introduce you all to the newest freebie over at Creative Bug on the Loose.

"Love Comes First"

What real father doesn't want to spend more time with his son and what son couldn't do with a little more quality time spent with his dad.  Andrew knows that his dad works hard to put a roof over his family's head and food on the table and give Andrew and his siblings the extras in life.  However, it is still hard for him because he just wishes his dad could be around more.  Earlier today Andrew was gearing up for a big baseball game and really wished his dad could attend but today was one of those typical days where his father was going to be tied up in meetings all night.  So, wasn't Andrew surprised when just as he was heading to bat his dad called him over to offer a few words of advice and encouragement.  Dad managed to sneak away during the supper break and spend a little quality time with his son.  These are the special moments that every child remembers and no father forgets.

This a great new image that will help all of you gear up for Father's Day which is fast approaching. 

I created this layout to showcase Naomi's freebie.  Now, granted this isn't my best work but what do I expect for trying to put it together at 3:00 in the morning.

Elements used to create this layout are from the 'Baseball Dreams' free kit downloaded from {Computer} Scrapbook.com.

So, what are you waiting for?  To take advantage of this endearing image, head on over to Creative Bug on the Loose and follow the instructions on how to bring Andrew and his father home with you.  While you are over there, don't forget to check out all the great digis Naomi has available in the store for purchase and don't forget to leave her a little love too.

Bit By the Bug Tuesday: Bobby's Bo-Bo

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.  

While Naomi concentrates on healing, I'll be pulling double duty and providing you all with her weekly freebies.  Keep reading to find out how to nab it.

This week we have "Bobby's Bo-Bo" for you.

You should have heard the ruckus this one made until I let him up out of the store for awhile.  Man, toddlers are a lot of work!

In order to take advantage of this week's free digi stamp, 'Bobby's Bo-Bo', head over to Creative Bug on the Loose and follow the instructions on how to grab it.  While you are over there, don't forget to check out all the great digis Naomi has available in the store for purchase. If you have the chance, please leave her a little love too.  She could definitely use some right now.

Now since this image might be one that Naomi has offered as a freebie in the past, I decided that I didn't want anyone to walk away empty handed so I created a special freebie of my own for anyone who wants it.  It is a sentiment that you could easily pair with this image.  I've offered it in two different formats.  Take you pick or choose both.  It is completely up to you.  Just don't forget to familiarize yourself with my terms if you are new to my blog and images.

 

Now, strangely, here on the blog they look like two different sizes but the font sizes are the same for each.  Go figure.  Also, as always, the original size will be much larger than it appears here, depending upon the program you use to view it in.  You can always decrease the size of the image without affecting its quality.  Don't forget I love to see what you create with my images and showcase your work in my gallery.  In fact if you haven't checked it out in awhile, the gallery is coming together quite nicely.  You should take a quick peek if you have time to see what your fellow crafters have been up to.
