So for today, I have a really cute image to share with you!! This is an early release from Doodle Pantry and is called Colored Caterpillar Hugs...I just love it! My card is a center step card...there are  two patterned papers and the three sentiment are included with this image!!

Then to finish framing out the center frame, I used  iridescent string of pearls  from Pizzazz Aplenty. Ohhh and of course I had to add a little Stickles to the grass. :):)

Doodle Pantry Topiary Seasons

If you are here to play in the Doodle Pantry Blog Hop, click here for that link. How are you all today? I am tired...I feel like time sprang ahead instead of falling back! Well, I have another Christmas card for you today! This one is using the Doodle Pantry Topiary Seasons set. And I colored this one myself! I have not colored for a while so thought I had better pull those Copics out before they dry out on me! After adding a few stickles to the image, I mounted it on some shiny gold cardstock and placed it on the base card on top of that awesome die cut. The die cut is called Cathedral Lace from Cheery Lynne Designs. I had lots of fun creating this card...forgot how much I enjoyed coloring. This post is short and sweet today...off to get some much needed chores done! Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing part of it with me!

Doodle Pantry Blessed Christmas

Hello my friends! Well, after a few rough days I am feeling way better and have been able to create some cards!! Today's card I am just absolutely thrilled with...I wanted to create a simple, serene yet elegant card that possibly would be my Christmas card for this year...and this one MAY be the winner! The image I used is from Doodle Pantry and called Blessed Christmas...this was a pre-colored image and the sentiment on the card ALSO comes with the image! Once I had my image manipulated in Photoshop, printed it and then embossed around it with one of my new Sizzix embossing folders....and shame on me I was so excited to use it I forgot to mark the folder with it's name! But it is a pretty popular folder right now so I am sure many of you have seen it, or have it! I scored my base card a little larger and mounted the image on the base card...then I added the Diamond Stickles all the way around the embossed area. Thanks so much for stopping by, leaving some love and sharing your day with me! I so appreciate you all. Have a great day!

Laurie has given us a number of awesome images to work with and I chose to play with the Christmas Wreath. My card is VERY clean and simple but thought the image needed no competition!

Doodle Pantry Quirky Penguin

Good morning! We had a wonderful time at the wedding last night...went with oldest son and daughter in law and really had a nice time visiting, eating and dancing! I wanted to get a card posted this morning before I started my day and got busy. Today I am sharing the Doodle Pantry's Quirky Penguin....he is one happy fella and was fun to work with! I used the colored version of the image....and added some Glossy Accents to his feet and beak. The patterned paper in the forefront of the card is one of the two that come with the image set...and so is the sentiment...of which there are several of them as well! This image pack is just packed full of fun! I added one of my own handmade flowers in the corner for a little more fun!
I am so excited to say that I have been asked to stay on with the Doodle Pantry now until February!! WHOOOO HOOOO! More fun ahead! Thanks to Laurie for asking me to stay on and thank you to the awesome Doodle Pantry DT for their warm welcome!
Well, I better get this posted and get on with my day...I hope your Sunday is a blessed one and that you have fun in whatever you do today. Thank you for stopping by!

Hello again! Well it is a new month and I am delighted to have been asked to stay on as a Guest Designer for another month with Doodle Pantry! And oh oh oh, what awesome images we have to work with this month! I chose to work with Candy Cane Ants.This is one of the pre-colored images...Laurie does a great job with her coloring...I just added a little Xmas Red Stickles to that sweet candy cane. I used a MS punch around the page punch...Vintage Floral I believe it is called to frame out my image...the inside of the frame was cut out using Scalloped Square nestabilities. The awesome red gems, the red paper and the red and white bakers twine are all from Pizzazz Aplenty. The sentiment used on my card is included in the set along with some other sentiments and some digi paper! I just love those darn ants...they are so fun to work with and just make a card unique.

Doodle Pantry Ant Masquerade

Good morning! Just wanted to share this fun card with you! OMG is this the cutest image or what? This is one of many images and sentiments included in the "ANTS MASQUERADE COLORED PACK" at the Doodle Pantry. Once the image was printed, I used nestabilities to cut it out and mat it...added my ribbon and a homemade flower. The butterflies are from an MS punch just cut from the border strip and placed on the corners for "fun". The swirly is a flourish die from Sizzix. And that awesome butterfly paper...it is included in the colored set as well...this is a really fun set and is so versatile. As you can tell, I am having quite a lot of fun playing with the Doodle Pantry Design Team this month as their Guest Designer. Just take a walk through the store and you will see instantly why I am having so much fun!

Well, I am going to be leaving for the airport here in about half an hour. Will be back on Friday but hope to have another card posted more towards mid week.

One last important note...Today is the 10th anniversary of Sept 11...please take a moment to remember all those who lost their lives ten years ago in the terrorist attack on our country. God Bless the USA.

Doodle Pantry Froggie

Good morning! I am back this morning with a card that was rather fun to create but posed a slight challenge for me! My oldest grandson is turning 12 on Sunday...and I always make the kid's birthday cards. Well 12 is a hard age...not grown up by no means but yet nothing to childish will do either!! So, I had seen a card on the internet somewhere a long while ago with a frog and jokes on it and I thought maybe that would be just the right thing for my young man! So the image I used is from Doodle Pantry called Little Frog. Laurie does a great job with her pre-colored images and it was just what I needed to get this card together! I printed the image out twice and cut out the frog on the second print so I could pop dot it over the original image for a little dimension. I created my sentiment and all the jokes in photoshop and found that cute little dragonfly on the net. It has been a while since I really played in Photoshop and I had a blast doing so and working with Little Frog! Well I am off to get some things done today...and I do apologize to all my lovely commentors for not getting out to your blogs over the last couple of weeks...I promise to do better...and thank you from my heart for leaving love! Thanks tons for stopping in today!

HUGS!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to each and every one of you! Today I wanted to share my last two Easter cards with you.  I bet you are saying..FINALLY she is done with those Easter cards! LOL I actually have more but won't bore you with them. My first card today was created using an image from Phindy's Place called Easter Joy and is for my 2 year old grandson:

I colored the image with Copics, added some diamond stickles for some sparkle. I stippled some ink on the background of the image after cutting it out with the Spellbinders Label 10. To get the green layer of the nestie, I traced over the outside of the die on my green cardstock and then cut that out by hand. The white background layer was embossed with the Cuttlebug Polka Dots folder. OHHH and one last touch...I just had to add a cotton tail!

For my last card, I used an image from the Doodle Pantry called Easter Bunny and it is for my 3 year old grandson. This image came pre-colored! I added the sentiment to the image...it was part of the Easter Bunny package...along with the background paper! The only thing I added to the image was some diamond stickles to the eggs in the bunny's basket! The border across the card was created with a MS punch and then I threaded some green and white Baker's Twine from Pizzazz Aplenty through the holes. Rather clean and simple but I think it turned out just swell. Well I am off to start my day...having my children for breakfast this morning so I have to get hoppin here! Thank you for stopping in to see me and I hope your day is full of fun and family! Happy Easter to all!

HUGS!
