Doodle Pantry's New Years Birdie

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!

Morning all!   Yesterday my sister Kris and I decided to do one of our fun "Sister Challenges".  So the challenge was to pick a fancy fold that we've never done before.  This is the Criss Cross Card.  I found the tutorial at SCS while scrolling thru the resources.    I've never made one before so I thought I would give it a try.  I must say that this was real easy to make with so many options.  I used some dp from DCWV Holiday Collections, and for the tab at the top I just used one of my nesties and folded it.  The sentiment and stamp are from SU.  I hope you enjoy this and take some time to make one yourself.  Now head on over to see what Kris has made.  Have a great Sunday and thank you for stopping by *Ü*
