Pile It On #18 - For a Mother

Welcome to another fun week at Pile It On! This week we want you to focus on Mothers: You can make something for a mother or mother-figure,  just make sure you can show how it qualifies for our theme.

This week we have a fabulous sponsor and that is Bugaboo Stamps:

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

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. Today Bugaboo 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!

And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

And they have a fabulous prize for our winner of 7 digis from their store!

Now it's time for a little inspiration from the Pile It On Team, featurig some of Bugaboo's wonderful images:
