I'm so glad that July is over (it was long and exhausting) and its August which means a new release from Doodle Pantry! I got to work with Doodle Pantry's Winter Worm, LOL what a silly guy. The set comes with 7 sentiments and three images, 2 colour and 1 b/w. I used the outline and coloured mine then cut him out to pop him up. I put glitter on the pole to simulate frost and added stickles to all the snowflakes.

Here's a closeup of the sentiment and the frosted pole, so cute.

Armadillo armor

Its November 1st and a new release for Doodle Pantry! There are a ton of new images and I got this cute little armadillo to play with. I've never seen a real armadillo before so had to do some research on google. I found two different coloured critters, one was a blue silver and one was more a golden yellow brown. However the yellow brown armadillo had lots of long hair on his legs, it looks hilarious! Both the brown and lighter blue paper are wallpaper which gives this card so much texture. Drop on over to all of the Design Team and see what they've created with their images! I've entered this into:

Tiger Lily

This elegant tiger lily is a Doodle Pantry flower from the lily collection. My Mom grew vivid,

tall, gorgeous tiger lilies. Orange ones, pink, and deep burgandy stargazers. I was too timid to try the burgandy ones but I knew I could do the orange ones. I added crystal effects and clear beads for dimension on the stamens. I cut out the lily to pop it up, it adds so much dimension.I've entered this into:

Thanks for the push

This is my second last post for Doodle Pantry this month as a guest designer, "sigh". (I'm going to try for one more on Thursday) My son asked me to make him a card for his boss who is leaving the company at the end of the month. Steven is a computer programmer and so is his boss, so... I couldn't resist! Believe it or not I actually hadn't done a card with these guys yet, how perfect is that! And I made the card red, white, and blue, 1 because its masculine but 2 because Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Paper Playtime Challenge and the theme for the challenge is using a digi which is red, white and blue!

Cherry on Top

I was sooo tired yesterday after painting again (only one more gallon of ceiling paint left, thank goodness) that I wasn't going to stamp. But I had already coloured the cherries AND cut them out so I thought I can do this. I grabbed a sketch and am totally surprised that I had it done in no time at all! These beautiful cherries come in a fruit set from Clear Dollar Stamps that you can colour yourself OR there is also a pre-coloured set. Check them out!

Decorating Ants

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring a challenge at Paper Playtime this week, challenge #23 is to use a clock, ticket or tag. For the inside of the card I put "Oh never mind the ants were stirring, they're decorating the house!" I cut out the image, printed the ants twice and cut them out to pop them up. I added red stickles to the ornament and white flowers and star dust stickles to the leaves and red flowers. Take a look at paper playtime, make a project and maybe you'll win an image from Doodle Pantry!
I've also entered this into the Bee Crafty challenge which is to use a digital image in a Christmas card, ABC challenge which this week is g for glitter and Papertake Weekly which is sparkly and bright.
