Good morning and WELCOME to the Doodle Pantry 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! The hop will go from today through November 8 and there will be at least 5 random drawn prizes! The more entries, the more prizes there will be! (one entry per person). We are so tickled to have you all! We are so excited to be showing off one of Doodle Pantry's newest additions to the store...12 Days of Christmas!
We will focus on showing you how versatile the new 12 Days of Christmas image set is, we hope you'll join us!

The set comes in color or can be purchased as outlines only! I chose to use the colored version of the partridge, one of the digital papers in the set, and two of the sentiments! I had loads of fun designing this card and have several other ideas for the set...as I am sure you are going to see from the rest of our DT members! If you have gotten to my from Amy's blog you are on the right track...and should hop on over to Glenda's blog to see what goodies she has for you! The hop order is also listed on the Doodle Pantry blog if you have just happened on my site today not aware of the hop! Thanks for joining in the fun! Have a great day!

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!

Doodle Pantry Christmas Wreath

 

Hello all, and happy November! Hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! Today is new release day at the Doodle Pantry! 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! The image is pre-colored and the sentiment was computer generated. After adding a ribbon and some stickles, I was happy with it! The square gems in the corner are from Pizzazz Aplenty. Been a little under the weather the last couple of days, hope to get my hiney moving today...it is beautiful here in our area....sunny and almost 70! Thank you much for stopping in and please do go check out the new releases at the store! Have a great day!

FSS Christmas Cardinal

Good morning! Today's card makes me yearn for Christmas and SNOW! I know if I wait long enough they are BOTH just around the corner! I used FSS Christmas Cardinal image on my card for today...it is pre-colored and just one in a series of winter birds that Tracey has in the store. All the paper used on this card is from Pizzazz Aplenty...the silver and green paper has such a pretty pretty shimmer to it that I just couldn't catch on the camera. I used the Fancy Square nesties to emboss the silver layer and die cut the green layer. The flourish is a Marrianne die...added a silver doily behind the image to help set it off the card. My corners were cut with an SU punch and embossed with Cuttlebug folder. As I look at this card now, I wish I had added some sparkle in the image with some stickles or glitter....guess I can still do that. Anyhoooooo, hope you enjoyed my creation today and are inspired to go out and check out this set of winter birds in the FSS store! Have a great day today and thank you for dropping in and leaving some love!

FSS Emma the Skating Elf

Hello to all! I had a pretty productive weekend...both in the yard AND in my room! I had a blast playing with this new image of Tracey's. I used Fred She Said's Emma the Skating Elf  pre-colored image. Isn't she just so cute? This was a really fun image to play with...the possibilities are endless with it! After printing the image, I cut it out with Nestability circle, matted with a slightly larger nestie circle and added some glitter around it to make it festive. I don't know if you can see it, but there is also some clear glitter in Emma's coat and hat. I used the Score Pal to score the white paper in behind the image and an EK Success punch for my border. The gold paper I used was from my stash and the gold flat back gems are from Pizzazz Aplenty! If you have not been out to see Pizzazz Aplenty lately, you really need to....wow what a new assortment of beads and stick pin accessories and charms she has! Guarantee you won't be disappointed! Well, it is late and I am ready to call it a day. Thanks to all of my awesome supporters who have been leaving love...it is very much appreciated. Hope to be back little later in the week or maybe even tomorrow, who knows! Take care!

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!

Wedding Card

Good morning! Busy weekend for us! We have a wedding to attend today and tomorrow hopefully we get to some of the much needed yardwork! We have a huge oak tree in our back yard that blesses us with tons and tons of shade which means it ALSO blesses us with tons and tons of leaves in the fall! And I need to get my pond ready for winter so my outside friends can survive the winter. Just got home from my workout, got a shower and thought I better get this card done while my hair was drying! This is a pretty clean and simple card but does have some elegance about it. The brides colors are black and white so I thought I would go with that...used the Ornate#2 Sizzix folder to emboss the card around the bride and gooms' names, added some black flatback pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty, spritzed with some Sheer Shimmer and that was it! Not bad for a quickie. Well, have to run...hopefully your weekend will be a wonderful one and I thank you tons for stopping in and sharing some of your time with me!
