You're a Little Deer

Good Morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Send A Smile 4 Kids and their challenge is Happy Holidays! I used our new Little Deer and created a gift bag.

Ducky Duck

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Just Inspirational Challenge and the photos for inspiration are gorgeous!

and

I used the colours from both photos and Doodle Pantry's Ducky Duck from the top photo to create my card. I cut off their feet so it would look like they're swimming.

I made this card for a special friend who as of 8am this morning went into surgery...a 17hour surgery! He has a great sense of humour so after he comes out of intensive care we'll take this up for him. 

Hop on over to Just Inspirational and give the challenge a try. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can enter Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #23 you have until May 24th. Just for entering you receive a scuba sheep and ant for free!

Gus Hunting

I've seen this funny twist on the Serenity Prayer many times and just love it! Gus looks like he could hide the body anywhere, can't find the moose, but could hide a body, lol. I used epoxy dots for Gus's eyes to make them stand out.

Hey Gorgeous

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge Blog this month and the theme is "Things with Wings". I used this cheeky parrot from Doodle Pantry's Parrot Play for the challenge. I LOVE how his beak turned out it almost pops off the page. When I was doing the background I stamped the leaves really well, got a nice clean dark image on the paper and sprinkled the embossing powder over it. When I was heating it I'm thinking " Some places aren't sticking very well, I wonder why..." WELL its because I didn't use versamark first OR craft ink! Taking two weeks holidays isn't a good idea, I forgot how to craft, lol! I do like however the different colours of green it created, the background looks quite awesome IRL.
