Charlie Horse

Good morning, this week Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Send A Smile 4 Kids and their theme for the challenge is Cute Fall or Halloween (cute but not scary please)! I chose to do a cute fall card with Doodle Pantry's Charlie Harvest.

I popped up his nose, hooves, corn husk and apple. I love all of Doodle Pantry's Charlie Horses they are adorable! 

You have until Sept 16 to enter Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge and if you use a digital stamp you can enter Doodle Pantry's challenge AIMPDC #21 as well. Happy stamping and good luck!

New release Newlyweds

Good morning, today's the start to a new month which means a new release from Doodle Pantry! There's so much to tell you but first I got to work with this gorgeous Magnolia flower Laurie created. I printed the flower off four times so I could cut out layers to pop them up and then added stickles to

the centre. The flower is so gorgeous I didn't need to do much for this card. This Magnolia flower can be yours too with any purchase of a Doodle Pantry stamp from August 1 until August 24! Drop on by the other DT members to see what they've created for this fantastic release. Today at noon starts DPDC #37 and just for entering you receive Pumpkin Peeps, how cute is that!

From our family to yours

Good morning and Happy July 1! With a new month comes a new release from Doodle Pantry. I got to play with the new Holiday Greetings set along with my favourite Caroling Friends. I really like how this turned out but next time I'll make the background a little darker to show off the image better. I popped up all of their hats (the ants was really hard to do, lol) and the birdies wing. I then added stickles to their hats and the ink bled...it looked nasty. So I used a sharpie white paint pen and coloured the stickles. I think it turned out really well, and not black!

I also put one of the new sentiments on the inside of the card.

Take a look at the new releases as well as what the other DT members did. At noon today starts our DPDC#36 challenge and just for entering (with a Doodle Pantry image) you receive the Holiday Greetings set for free. THAT'S not ALL! There is a surprise 25% off sale as well as a Patriotic Sale for 40% off check it out here!

OMG

This little guy has got to be one of my favourite ants, the look on his face is priceless! You can do so many sentiments with him, the obvious one is OMG You're how old! But I thought of another one. 

My youngest son and his girlfriend are looking for a house so the inside says it all, lol!

Spots Dots and Chickenpox

What a great day! I actually got a second double layout scrapbook page done...it took me forever and I didn't finish until midnight  but I got it done! Today we're sponsoring Sentimental Sunday and the challenge is Show me your spots. Instead I'm showing you Steven's (my youngest son's) spots.  

My two older children had chickenpox too but never scarred or really had a problem but Steven...

had spots everywhere, and itch...Oh My  I felt so sorry for him! When I saw Doodle Pantry's Quirky Elephant I knew he was perfect. I coloured him myself and then added the dots and I love the sentiment I computer generated. 

Here's what the double layout looks like. 

Hop on over to Sentiment Sunday and give the challenge a try. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can enter Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #24 too. There's still a sale on at Doodle Pantry until the 10th check out the sales page.
