Have a Mice Day!

This Quirky lil fella comes from Doodle Pantry....All of Laurie's lil critters  in her line of "Quirkies" are simply too cute. I hope they bring a smile to the face of those who receive as much as they do to mine when I am working with these adorable images. Quirky Mouse comes precolored with a gray, brown or white mouse, B/W image, sentiments and also both of these fun digital papers. What more could you ask? Unfortunately I really wish I had only used the 'stickles' on the cheese, cheeks and nose. Oh well, live and learn.

I'm seeing Stars...

....and it's because of the new challenge at MelJen's Designs, featuring....you got it, STARS! I ran across these cute cute cute lil Sea Turtle and his Starfish Buddy  and the 2 lil Starfish Pals when I did a search in Melissa's shop for 'Stars'. I fell in Love immediately. Made a card for my Hubby to remind him that he has the  love and support of the boys and I. The entire time I was working on it, I kept hearing in my mind the voice of Crush and his son, the sea turtles from the movie Finding Nemo. They are some of my favorites.

You will want to double-check the new challenge guidelines at Meljens' HERE and then you can 'Aim For the *** STARS ***' as you join in.

Thanks for stopping by and Have an Awesome Day, Dude...

Here We Go A Caroling . . .

I think the music of Christmas is just about my favorite way to celebrate the Season of our Savior's Birth. Music  is the Highlight of the festivities, whether it be listening to my CD's or singing in the Choir. It's just not Christmas without the music. I was working in the Middle School Cafeteria yesterday and heard a young man humming, "Deck the Halls" quietly to himself. Nothing brings the joy of Christmas to our hearts like Christmas Carols. That being said, the design team at MelJen's was ecstatic to find out the new release and challenge this week  is 'Christmas Carols'.

Away in a Manger is probably one of the very first Christmas Carols a child learns or recognizes. I teamed up Melissa's new digital image, Away in a Manger with the Nativity Stable from last week's release. I paper-pieced the Stable and added lots of festive glitter to the hay, stars and here and there. The background 'sheet music' is exactly that...I found it on the Internet, saved on the computer and then imported and resized before printing to use as a background. .99 musical note punch from Walmart was just perfect for this I thought.

You can find the entire set of Christmas Carol Word Art at Meljen's Designs and all the Challenge details at the Design Team and Challenge Blog.

Well, I liked the way the card turned out and hopefully it was worth it ... I did a 'dummy' and screwed up my laser printer when I accidentally got adhesive on the drum while doing the paper piecing. Now everything I print has a black smudge down one side. I hope we are able to fix it. Grrrrrrr--I hate it when I do something stupid....especially 'expensive' stupid things, but generally I do go above and beyond when I do stupid things....Just ask my Dad, I've always been an over-achiever in that department. I'm the reason he always had warranties on things around the house. Even brand-new lawn mower blades take exception to running over a concrete pipe sticking up out of the ground.

Thanks for Stopping By and May Your Days Be Merry And Bright . . .

It's Autumn Time

I love this new fall image Pumpkin Crow from Melissa at Meljen's Designs. I combined it with something my Grandpa Wade always said each year as the temperatures became more brisk and the leaves started to fall. I think Fall is one of my very favorite seasons of the year. I love the feel of a brisk autumn morning and the beautiful gold and russet colors.

You can find all of this week's new images and the new challenge at the Meljen's Design and Challenge Blog.

Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY FALL Y'ALL....

It's September 5th and does Doodle Pantry have some fun for you....lots of Great New Images and a special 30% off Labor Day Sale September 5-7. Be sure to check out the Specials Page at the Store.

I just love Laurie's line of Quirkies. This month brings several new additions, one of my favorites is this new Quirky Ostrich. I think she is just too too cute! That long elegant neck, lush eyelashes and those ever fashionable knobby knees....This set comes with Pre-colored and B/W Outlines Images, Great Sentiments and 3 Digi Papers. I chose to use the Precolored images,make use of the 3 gorgeous Digi Papers and of course I used one of the included sentiments.

These precolored Quirkies are so fun to make 3-D and the Ostrich is no exception, I adore the colors in this set. I cut out those cute knobby knees, fun feet, beautifully bright wing and her beak, Popped them up and then added lots of 'Glossy Accents'.

This month's Treat, and it's no Trick to get, is this fun set of Spooky Wreath Images and Digi Paper. This too comes with Precolored and Image Outlines and 1 matching digi paper. This Boo-ti-ful Image is Free for a limited time with any purchase. I used the Precolored Image, with the Spook or Treat Sentiment and the Digi Paper. Added a bit of 'Stickles' Glitter to the leaves and 'Glossy Accents' to the bats and pumpkins. Not so sure I was as successful in making this look like a wreath on a door as I wished.....
