Doodle Pantry Color Caterpillar Hugs

Hello! I sure hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I have been very busy as I know all of you have too! Hopefully things will slow down now and I can get back to what I love doing! 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!! I embossed the background layer and the sentiment layer with a cuttlebug heart folder...the green die cuts on the step are from MFT and the swirlies are pieces of the Fanciful Flourish from Cheery Lynn Designs. 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. :):)
Hop on over to the Doodle Pantry and check out the 3 early releases and to take advantage of the SALE that begins today, Dec 29 and runs through Jan 2...50% OFF SALE!!!
Hope to be able to do some much needed visiting this weekend...I have missed seeing what you all have been up to. Thanks tons for stopping by to see me today!

Squigglefly Kris Kringle

 

Good morning! This morning I have a Squigglefly image to share with you...meet Kris Kringle! Is this the most awesome image or what???? The image is shaded so lovely that there is really no need for coloring but I chose to color his hat and the berries in his poinsettia. Also added a little glitter to the ball on his hat. The sentiment is computer generated by moi. I love this so much that I actually made 3 cards using this same image! Ohhh and I have to share that all the paper used on this card is from Pizzazz Aplenty...I just ordered some more of that awesome red card stock that feels like velvet...really honestly it just makes the card feel so expensive! The silver paper is some of Pizzazz Aplenty's shimmer card stock. How is that for some Pizzazz??!! Thank you so much for stopping by today...AND leaving some love! Each of you know that I will be by to see you as well...can't wait to see what you have today! Have a great day!

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!
