I've Got Birdies and Possums!!

Hello and welcome to the March release at Doodle Pantry. I couldn't be more excited to be showing these cards off to you as one of the newest members of the Doodle Pantry Design Team. I adore Laurie's image plus the fact that a lot of them come pre-colored!! Here I used the ADORABLE Easter Birdie. Absolutely precious!! And the papers are included in the set as well.

And to add to the quirky collection, here we have Quirky Possum. I can't believe I'm going to say this about a possum, but he is the sweetest!!! Again I used the pre-colored image and papers as well as the sketch from a favorite site of mine, Seems a Little Sketchy. I wanted the sentiment on my card but just couldn't find the right spot for it until I cut it up into individual words, then it worked! I hope you stop by the rest of the DT to check out their inspiration of all the lovely sets being released today. Also, our challenge will start at 12 noon on the Doodle Pantry Blog. Play along using a DP image and you will receive the cutest set ever FREE!! How fun!

Hi There!

Happy Thursday and welcome to our 21st challenge at Paper Lovin' Gals. Use the above photo to gain inspiration for your creation.

I went with the color and the buttons for my card. Anytime purple is involved though, it's always a real challenge for me. I have paper and card stock but not much in the way of embellishments. I like keeping it simple but still have the layers I so love...does that make sense?! Anyway, I sure hope you'll join us, we'd love to see what you create with inspiration from our photo at Paper Lovin' Gals.

We're Not Horsin' Around

This is my third post today. Please scroll down for Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Fresh Brewed Designs.
Welcome to our special release of Charlie digi's at Clear Dollar Stamps. Charlie has his very own category under clear stamps at the store, now you can also find him in digital form! Love it!! My first card shows Charliene Cowgirl in all her pink glory. Too adorable!

And here is Charlie Bee, buzzin' around wishing for you to "bee happy." Both cards I colored with copics and went thru my scraps in my forever quest to use 'em up. Now be sure and check out a lot of fabulous projects from the rest of the DT at the CDS blog, Clearly iStamp.

Time for a Spot of Tea

If you're looking for my Sweet Sketch Wednesday post, please scroll down.


Or how 'bout a Starbucks with a friend. Either one sounds pretty good! When I go into my local Starbucks, all I have to say is "I want my usual," and they know what it is!!! I don't know whether to feel honored or embarrassed!! Anyway, welcome to another fun weekly challenge at the Fresh Brewed Blog. Our theme this week is Date or Time. I was in one of those foul moods all day long yesterday, blaming it on the lack of sleep. So my creative side was out for lunch when it came time to make this card. I had to keep it simple because there were no creative juices in me!! I used a digital image from Fresh Brewed Designs called Tea Time Teacup. Not much to it, but cute none the less...hahahaha. Hope to see you at this week's challenge.

Sweet Easter

Happy Wednesday! The 29th day of February. A good friend of mine had her second daughter on Feb. 29th - how lucky to have a birthday every four years. Well, lucky when you get to be my age that is!!!! I've already told my family I am no longer having birthdays, so I will forever be the age I am right now!!!! Fabulous, don't you think. Know what else is fabulous, why our sketch and sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Doodle Pantry is our sponsor and I couldn't be more excited! I adore their images, and am head over hills in love with their pre-colored images! Talk about a time saver!! Laurie Wilson is the owner and designer for Doodle Pantry and here's what she had to say:

“I am simply thrilled and so thankful to be able to sponsor Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge! We have a wide variety of whimsical characters as well as realistic scenery, floral images, scriptures and a small selection of digitally pre-coloured images. My digital doodles have a special place in my life, and I enjoy the opportunity to share them with everyone at affordable prices.”

Laurie is offering our grand prize winner 3 of her delightful digi images!!

And here's what I got to create with, Easter Egg Sheep Color. What a totally adorable way to wish someone a sweet Easter! I used one of the digital papers too that are included in the set. I keep my twine right on my desk (probably because I'm too lazy to put it away) so why not put it to use!! Actually, I'm lovin' using twine as of late. Now join us for another great sketch challenge and sponsor at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

On a personal note, I can't hold it in much longer, I am now a Design Team member of Doodle Pantry!! When I read Laurie's email that I was chosen, I bet she heard me scream all the way from Pittsburgh! Come back tomorrow, you'll get to see the new and fabulous release!!! I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Smile

Smile, it's a new day...and only 9 more days till Phillip and I leave for Disney World!!!! Yep, I am so excited, the days are going by much too slowly. Anyway, how did you like our 3 day blog hop at Fresh Brewed Designs? I love the new rubber stamps that were just released. I had to share a new card I made using Crafty Girl and Smile sentiment. Stampin' in your jammies, how fabulous is that!! And look how clean and organized her desk and shelves are! I finally cleaned up my desk and found my mojo in the mess...no, not my kitty Mojo but my crafting mojo. I also found this paper that was part of the special deal with the rubber release. Guess I should have cleaned up sooner so I could have used my paper for the blog hop!!! Oh well.

New Rubber at Fresh Brewed Designs

The BIG MOMENT has arrived...
the one we have ALL BEEN WAITING for...

Fresh Brewed Designs FIRST Rubber Stamp Release for 2012!

And we are celebrating with a three day hop, so you will have until February 27th to get in on the fun!

If you are getting here from Rhonda's blog, then you are right on track.

If not you will need to go back to the start of our hop at the blog of our very own Fresh Brewed Designs artist and designer, Heather.

She also has a lot of fun and useful information for you that you will NOT want to miss! So be sure to go back and start there.

We have been so excited about sharing these new stamps with you!

I chose to create with Work It Work Out Girl for my project.

I'd like to take credit for being Heather's model for this girl, but unfortunately I can't...Hehe!! But I do love working out, I do it 4 times a week. My joints let me know sometimes when I've over done it though - darn, I hate getting old!! Now Work It Work Out Girl is holding a newly released iPod that doesn't need ear buds -- well that's my story because I tried drawing ear buds and totally ruined my first stamped image!! An artist I am not!!!

Heather is having a special deal on the NEW stamps and other goodies for this release.

You can get this special package for $20. That is a savings of $10!!!

You can only get this package for this price during the hop { last day is Feb. 27th}

Find out more about this deal in the shop HERE

It is now time for you to hop on over to the next hop stop at Kenzie's blog.

I'm sure you're eager and excited to see what she has created!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Have a very HAPPY day!
