Feeling "Buggy" Challenge

Congratulations to the following winners of our FEELING BUGGY Challenge:

First Class Card:  #7 Tommi

In the Mail Box:  #1 Annie A and #3 Ellen Parker
****************************************************************

Hello again! First, we'd like to thank everyone that follows our blog, facebook page as well as the ones that play along with our challenges!

It may seem a bit odd to have a "Feeling Buggy" challenge right after a challenge for things with wings but the key word this time is BUGGY! Not all things that have wings are bugs or "buggy" now are they? Ha, Ha.  So with this challenge we are looking for BUGS or perhaps "Buggies?"  As in horse drawn buggy or even, shopping cart "buggy" which is what many of us here in Texas call them.  Put your thinking cap on and share your A2 Cards (that are flat enough for mailing) that feature something "BUGGY."  Just in case you wonder, butterflies are considered "bugs" insects.

PLEASE READ. To clarify...for this challenge BUGGY can mean the following:

  • BUGS (Insects) including butterflies
  • SHOPPING CART (In Southern USA, the type at the grocery store)
  • BABY CARRIAGE (Pram)
  • VOLKSWAGON BUGS (Car)
  • CARRIAGE (Drawn by one horse for 1 or 2 people)
  • GOLF BUGGY, MOON BUGGY or BEACH BUGGY (small open top, off road vehicles)
I apologize for any confusion I may have caused with this challenge as initially it was for INSECTS as you can see in the designers creations and then I added the  twist to include other "buggies"  when I posted the challenge.  If you need clarification before linking your card, just send an email to cardenvydt@gmail.com.  Thanks! ~Sandy
