Wheeeee!

Good morning!  Today I am playing along with my old teamies from Tuesday Morning Sketches; Doodle Pantry is the sponsor this week, so how could I not play?!

It's a great sketch this week and it paired perfectly with Charlie Sledding.  Something about the non-traditional yellow/blue color combo spoke to me...what a fun twist for a winter card!  I used a pre-colored image, along with a sentiment and patterned paper from the set.  I've embellished simply with brads and a sparkly, layered snowflake.  They sure look like they are having fun sliding down the hill...maybe I should work in some sledding this winter...the kids would love it!

Dolphin Carousel

I'm back again with a card using one of the August Doodle Pantry sets, Carousel Dolphin (This is the 11th in the Carousel Series!).  The set includes line art, pre-colored images, sentiments, and papers.

I used a pre-colored image and one of the papers (I really love Laurie's stripes!)  I used the sketch from House that Stamps Built and embellished simply with brads...I like how crisp and clean this one looks with the white cardbase and bright colors.

Balloon Ants

Good morning!  It's time for a new sketch from the ladies at Tuesday Morning Sketches...our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry!  Here is our sketch:

I used a fun pre-colored digi called Balloon Ants.  I love the variety of colors and the matching dotted papers, it makes cardmaking fast and easy!  I've done a bit of distressing to the patterned paper and image panel, then added brads and a snippet of ribbon for embellishing.  I also dotted the eyes with a black gel pen for definition.

Good morning!  It's time for a new sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches; not only is there a great sketch, but a great twist as well...flowers!  Melissa is our sponsor for the week; here is the sketch:

I went with a fun, springy, pre-colored image from Doodle Pantry and paired it with a sentiment and patterned paper from the set.  I've done some layering and put my dies to use; for embellishing I've used some ribbon, and mini flowers with a pearl center.

Doodle Pantry March Release

Good morning!  Doodle Pantry has an exciting new release; there is a great selection of stamp sets which include images, sentiments, and DP, coordinating SVG shapes, and darling mazes.  There is truly something for everyone!

Today I am working with Purse Parfait...I'm a purse fan and I loved the colors.  The set has an awesome selection of purses in different styles, sentiments, and colorful papers.  I went with a pre-colored image, layered it for dimension, then added a bit of glitter.  The background actually consists of 4 squares, but you can't tell because of the angle of the image panel.  I've also added a bit of cheesecloth for texture.

Stamp Set: Doodle Pantry Purse Parfait
Ink: Printer, SU! Black and Lavender Lace Markers
Paper: PTI Winter Wisteria, SU! Taken With Tea
Embellies: Art Glitter in "Angel Dust", Cheesecloth

I Heart You

I'm back with a new challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  To kick off the new year, we are having each designer pick a sketch for the first 7 challenges.  Since my name starts with "A",  I am up first!  I chose Sketch #190 from March 19th of last year.  I love that you can dress it up or down!

I decided to go clean and simple and used a new set from Doodle Pantry called Loving Critters. I printed a pre-colored image and some matching DP and went to work.  The image is die cut and mounted, then accented with glitter.  The banners are secured with red brads.

Paper: G.P. 110, PTI Pure Poppy, Doodle Pantry Digital DP

Do you ever get done with a project and think, "That just isn't right?"  Here's a peek at my first try...I decided the white card base just didn't work.  Isn't it amazing what a difference a little color makes?

I hope you will check out the rest of the DT's creations and challenge details, then play along!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Send a Smile 4 Kids: Valentines 4 Kids

Stocking Ants

Good morning!  We have a new sketch for you at Tuesday Morning Sketches; this one lets the image shine.  You can check out the sketch and challenge details here, along with the DT cards to inspire you.  We do hope you will play along!

I used a fun set from Doodle Pantry called Stocking Ants...the image, sentiment, and DP are all included...it makes it so easy to put a card together!  I've just done some layering and added brads and glitter for embellishing.  There is a dimensional in the middle of the sentiment just to add a bit of interest...I should have taken a photo from another angle....

Be merry...

Good morning!  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Are any of you Black Friday shoppers?  We have gone before, but not this year....  I was really disappointed that so many stores were open on Thanksgiving...it would have been nice if the employees could have had the day off.  I think I'm getting off track....

Doodle Pantry's December release is available a bit early, and along with that is a wonderful sale...more details to come....  Today I have a card to share using Tropical Drinks; everything was included in the set...images, sentiment, DP.  I've combined the images (printing an extra blue beverage) and added a sentiment.  I fussy cute the extra image and popped it up for dimension.  I've added a bit of glitter and some Swarovski flatbacks for embellishing.  I kept the card simple so the focus would be on the colorful image; those fruity juices look delicious!

Thank you for stopping by: enjoy the holiday weekend!

Friends to the End

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you from Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Denise has chosen our challenge and she would like to see "Pearls, Flowers, and Charms".  Hmmm, I do have to say that this was indeed a challenge for me!  I had to think "out of the box" a bit....

I went with a fun set from Doodle Pantry, Snowman Pile-Up; it includes line art, pre-colored images, sentiments, and DP...everything you need!  I went with a pre-colored image, a sentiment, and 2 of the DPs.  After printing the elements, I did a bit of layering and added my embellishments; a "flurry" of pearls for snow, a white felt "loopy bloom" flower embellished with a snowflake charm and pearl.  It was fun to see if I could make this challenge work for a winter card!  I also added some glitter to the image, but I didn't capture the sparkle with my photo...it is pretty in real life!

Stamp Set: Doodle Pantry Snowman Pile-up
Ink: Printer
Paper: G.P. 110, PTI Stamper's Select and True Black, Doodle Pantry DP

Doodle Pantry November Release

Good morning!  It's release time at Doodle Pantry and Laurie has added some great new sets to the shop; there is a variety of styles, so there is something for everyone.  I've got a card to share using the new Coffee & Biscotti set, which includes line art, pre-colored digis, sentiments, and an assortment of papers.  I would love a piece of that chocolate dipped biscotti right now...yum!

I've used pre-colored images and one of the coordinating DPs in the set...I think the DP has a pretty vintage look.  I've layered the coffee and biscotti, then printed 2 extra biscotti and fussy cut them; the chocolate dipped one is popped up for dimension.  I've done some layering and added some ribbon for embellishing.

Faith

Hello!  I'm sharing another card, that I made for SCS HYCCT challenges; this one is for the "Many Colors of Cancer" challenge.  I chose black, which stands for melanoma.  For my card, I am using Doodle Pantry's Special Ribbons set; it has colored ribbons to represent the different kinds of cancer, matching DPs, and sentiments.  The sketch is from last week's Just Add Ink challenge.

I printed the word "Faith" on my background panel, rounded the corners and adhered it to a black card base.  The ribbon DP was matted and popped up with dimensionals to frame the word.  For embellishing, I've added a button and Swarovski flatback crystal.  The inside is lined with a white panel with the sentiment "It's not what we say that matters, It's what we DO!"

Sentiment: Doodle Pantry "Special Ribbons" Set
Ink: Printer
Paper: G.P. 110, PTI True Black, Doodle Pantry "Special Ribbons" DP
Embellies: PTI Button, Swarovski Flatback Crystal in "Black Diamond"
Extras: Corner Chomper, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos
 
My Mother was diagnosed with melanoma last spring; thankfully she is doing well as it was caught early.  It was such a surprise as she has not been one to be in the sun a lot; she noticed a "freckle" that didn't look quite right.  When the biopsy came back as melanoma, she underwent a wide excision biopsy.  Even though I'm a nurse, this was not something I was familiar with.  I was shocked at how big her incision was!  She now has to have full body screenings every 3 months; they also recommend her siblings and children be screened too.  This is a deadly form of cancer!  Please be proactive; wear sunscreen and examine your skin for changes.

Doodle Pantry is having a Wild West Sale through October 27; all western themed products are 30% off!  You can check out some awesome cards from the DT and the sale details here.

Bee Birdie

Hello!  Today is my first post as a member of the Doodle Pantry DT and I'm excited to work with Laurie's images...I especially love the ants, but I find I am really enjoying the birds too!

Today I am sharing a card made with one of the October release sets; "Bee Birdie" features both uncolored and colored images, sentiments, and coordinating papers.  I am working with a colored image today, along with one of the matching papers.  I liked the touch of blue in the wings, so thought I would use that for my card base and accents.  I've done a bit of distressing to some of the panels and added a button and twine for embellishing; there's also a touch of glitter on the wings.

Paper: G.P. 110, PTI Blueberry Sky and True Black, Doodle Pantry DP
