February's Monthly Challenge- Texture Paste

Have you joined our Doodlebugs Creative Community on Facebook?  This month's challenge is Texture Paste (a.k.a. modeling paste or embossing paste), and the ladies that are part of the group have been posting some fun projects!  So, if you haven't joined,  visit this LINK and request to join.

We're challenging everyone over in our Creative Community to use Texture Paste in their creative projects this month and post a picture of your work on our group page.  At the end of the month we'll randomly select a winner for some fun prizes.  So, grab your texture paste and create something fun.

Need a few ideas to get started?  Visit the fun videos or links below for some inspiration.

1.  Watch Tim Holtz demonstrate Ranger's Texture Paste HERE.

2.  You can watch Jennifer McGuire use Texture Paste in some creative ways  HERE.

3.  Love this tip!  View it HERE.

4.  This is also a fun technique using embossing powder with Texture Paste.  If you don't like the bubbling effect, allow the paste to dry, before you heat it.  You can view that video HERE.

We're Celebrating 10 Years!!

We are so excited!  In February 2005, we opened the doors to Doodlebugs for the first time.  What an amazing journey it has been.  We're planning a big celebration and event in April to celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary.  We'll fill you in when we have more details.

In the meantime, we wanted to celebrate 10 years and 500 Instagram followers with some fun giveaways.  So, here's what we have going on.

We're giving away this amazing package of goodies.  For a chance to win, simply stop in for one of our FREE Saturday "Make and Takes" this month.  You'll also receive another chance to win for every $10 you purchase through the end of the month.   All purchases need to be made before the close of business on February 28, 2015.  The winner will be contacted and announced sometime on Sunday.  The prize package can be picked up from the store, or shipped within the continental US.

We're also giving away, an almost identical package of product on Instagram.  So, if you are on Instagram, head over to our feed and enter to win.  You'll find us @doodlebugswa.  Have fun, and good luck!
