Hello, happy Thursday!! Today I'd like to first say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my DH *Ü* Today he is the big 50. He probably wouldn't want me to say that but he doesn't read my posts so I think I'm safe and what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?? (oh was that wrong or what..hehe)

I used the newest release image from Doodle Pantry called Quirky Mouse, isn't he just the cutest?

This cute li'l bear is called Cuddly Bear and he's wearing a hat and scarf from the newest set called Winter Accessories. This new set is so awesome, you can use them on just about any character. I also put some liquid applique on there along with some glitter to make it look like he's sitting in some snow, which is why he's wearing a hat and scarf...lol!

The digi papers I used are also from the Winter Accessories set, very cute too! The sketch I followed might look familiar, if you scroll down one post you'll see the same one!

Good afternoon! I'm back with another card using a new released set from Doodle Pantry. This one is called SNOW BIRDIE. It comes in both outlined version as well as colored versions with some fun quirky paper piecing. I used the outlined version and colored with my copics.

It sparkles IRL, sorry the picture doesn't show that very well.
There is a challenge going on right now over at Doodle Pantry, DPDC17. All you need to do is use a doodle pantry image (not just a sentiment) and if you do enter, you'll be sent a free set called Quirky Penguin.

Just a reminder, if you purchase any items from the Doodle Pantry shop, remember to add the Quirky Turkey to your cart because it's FREE with any purchase. But only for a limited time, so hurry on over.

2011-09-23T19:01:00.000-07:00

TGIF!! Yay it's Friday! The weekend is finally here. I'd like to show you a card I made using one of Doodle Pantry's older sets called Apple Snack. I've had this image for quite some time now and finally decided it's time to use it! The digi papers are from Shery K designs called Apples. There are so many awesome digi papers to buy and also some free sets. I bought some apple brads a few months ago and this is the first time I've used them. I think they are perfect for this image and papers. The sketch I made up on my own. I used my copics to color it up and made the caterpillar a bit fuzzy looking! Hope you enjoy..

Flutterby Fairy by D2D

2011-05-04T18:56:00.000-07:00

Good Evening! Here is a card I made using the Designed2Delights progressive challenge freebie. She is called Flutterby Fairy. If you were unable to participate in last weeks challenge, you can purchase her in the shop and still be able to get next weeks for free. Just remember to link your creation by midnight on Thursday May 5.

For my card I used some design paper I got at my local craft store and the sentiment hmmm...I don't remember where I got that from. I think it was a freebie at one time so I'm real sorry I can't remember. I added some tiny gems and also some twine I got from the twinery.

Well that's about it for me today, I'll be back tomorrow with a new release and a couple of cards. Have a great evening!!

Good afternoon stampers!! Happy Sunday Today I made 3 cards for 3 special ladies I work for and I wanted to show them how much I appreciate them. I made 3 of the same kind. I used an old SU set called Wreath of Roses. I didn’t want the card to be to fussy or busy so I went for the CAS look, then I used the MS lace punch and added some ribbon to finish it off. I know they will enjoy this card along with some flowers .

Anyway, I added one of the sentiments that came with the set on there as well and don’t know how it got all crooked, but let’s pretend it’s not ok?? LOL!!

There were several new releases that came out on the 5th and this image is one of them. It actually is a set called Heart Candy Ants. To see all the new releases and challenge rules please visit the challenge blog here. There's even a cute cute freebie just for playing along.

This card is also for the Double Delight Challenge. My sister Kris and I do challenges about every week and post them on the challenge blog. It's where you take a freebie from any company and add an extra challenge along with it...it's just something we like to do for fun. So the challenge is to use a doodle pantry image along with these colors...

I used designer paper from the Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions. I tried to get as close as possible to the colors in the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by..I can't wait to see what you create with your Doodle Pantry image and these colors. Remember to link your card to the Doodle pantry challenge blog and Double Delight Challenge blog. Happy Creating *Ü*

Doodle Pantry's New Years Birdie

2010-12-29T20:03:00.000-08:00

Good evening everyone!! Happy Thursday. Today I have a card I made for the Doodle Pantry Challenge #4. The theme for this challenge is to create a card or project featuring something NEW..such as new beginnings, or a new change, or some new supplies you haven't use yet, ect. So for my card, I used a new image from Doodle Pantry called New Years Birdie. It's new to me anyway and this is my first time using it. So I thought I would make a card to celebrate the NEW Year!!
I also used some new dp I got recently from DCWV called HIPPIE CHIC.

You have 5 days left to get your entry in and one lucky player will win a $10 GC to the Doodle Pantry shop. Whoohoo :) Then 3 entries will be chosen for Top 3, which will get your choice of 1 free doodle pantry product. Laurie has some of the cutest images too!!

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Happy Thursday!! It's getting closer and closer to Christmas, and I'm so excited. Today I would like to share a Christmas card I made. I actually made 3 of these, for my family. This particular one went to my sister Kris.

This image is from pink gem designs and it's called "Baby Jesus". Pink Gem has a wide variety of crafting supplies plus some awsomely cute digis too. If you have a few extra minutes, please check them out. I used Cosmo Cricket 'Mitten Weather', and added some pearls to the bottom and also a cuttlebug corner die.
