This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Debbie from Bugjuiced.

Thank you Deezy for asking me to be a guest! Hi my name is Debbie and my blog is "Bugjuiced". First let me tell you why I chose the name I did for my blog. When I first started crafting I bought my first die cutting machine and it was a cricut. I was all about the cricut and I was living in Florida (probably on a day the love bugs were out! ha ha) and I thought bug juiced would be a fun name. I have only been crafting for about 4 years. I started when I retired at the young age of 46. I never had time before that as I was a business owner. I owned a granite counter top fabrication shop. I did all the sales and ran the business and it was a successful. I am very ambitious and I give my all in everything I do. I am a tough lady in business even though I may not look the part but I had to be dealing in a man's industry so to speak.

I am the mother of one AWESOME daughter who is now 27 years old. She is my everything and I am so proud of her. I also have been married to the BEST husband around and he is also my best friend. He encourages my crazy (hoarding) craft buying and even takes me without complaining to any craft store I want while on vacation so who can ask for more! I have two awesome fur babies that occupy my time now also.

I have 3 (did have 4) cricut machines and recently bought the Silhouette Cameo. Well the cameo has stolen the spotlight! I love this machine and I am loving the Designer Edition software. I have created my own cutting files to satisfy my inner entrepreneur self!! My style is quirky humorous most of the time. I like to not take things seriously with my crafting because life itself is too serious. I am a very humorous person by nature and you can usually see this in most of my blog post when I have the time to really post.

I knew when I quit working that I wanted to craft. I had always been artistic and creative and this was a good outlet. I originally thought that I would just "scrapbook" pictures of our family etc. and that is how I started but then I got into cards and 3d items and my obsession just grew. Now I don't do much that I originally thought I would but I am loving all the fun I have with it. I have been on some awesome design teams and I am thankful for each and every one of them for the push it has gave me to sometimes think outside the box.

My favorite team has been Timeless Twine. I love the owner and I love the product. I have gotten so many great ideas and definitely not the traditional use of the twine most of the time which gives others ideas of what they can do with the twine besides the typical bow.

Here is a few of my favorite projects:

These two are my original designs and I created the cut files for the crazy ladies!! Also shows some great uses of twine!!

This is a surprise slider card I did.

I love TRUE BLOOD show so I made this awesome vampire card using SVG Cutting Files.

I love Cricut Campin Critter cartridge and I made S’more Pops to put in my box. I loved this project and the pops were YUMMY!

Here is a layout (which I rarely do) using twine in an awesome way! PS I love Halloween!

I love to find ways to make other things with my crafting. Here is a little picture frame I made using Happy Hauntings cartridge. Again….love the Halloween things!

I got probably a little overboard with the amount of projects I am sharing but these are my favorites. So for my last one here is a tri-fold card using SVG Cuts files. This was so time consuming but I loved it!!

I have a new project that is home decor that I will be showing on May 15 so I can't show it here yet and I just wish I could! I hope you take the time to visit my blog and even follow me would be awesome! Thanks to Deezy for asking me to be a guest!!
