Berry Christmas!

Good Morning! I can't resist saying "Berry Christmas!" I've got a new cute Doodle Pantry Strawberry Digi Image to share with you...this one is called " Juicy Strawberries" and is available for purchase at the Doodle Pantry store. This one is beautifully illustrated by Laurie Wilson and so detailed and when colored it is a lovely image that will pop on any card you make! The "Juicy Strawberries" also comes pre-colored for those short on time this Christmas season. Pictured below, is the card interior showing the coordinating papers and design. You can click on any image to view it larger.

I will be taking a very short break for the Christmas holiday...my son, Christopher will be coming home for 6 weeks for his Christmas/Winter break Friday and I'm so looking forward to seeing him. I plan to have something new to show you the week after Christmas. I want to thank you for your faithful following this year...your visits and thoughts have been such a joy to me. I pray that this Christmas, you will find much joy and love as we celebrate our Savior's birth. We have much to joyful about! "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Even Ants Ring in the New Year!

Good Morning! And it's a happy morning because it's the 5th of the Month and that means it's time for another Doodle Pantry Challenge! For the challenge I decided to use Laurie Wilson's new Doodle Pantry "Disco Ants" for a "Happy New Year" card. I've never made a "Happy New Year" card before as I've never had any artwork suitable for one, but now I do and so do you! You can find "Disco Ants" at the Doodle Pantry store here. I hope you have a chance to play along and you'll find plenty of other images to use if you'd rather not play with the ants...but I love coloring them...they are so whimsical! If you do play along, you receive the "New Year's Birdie" FREE just for participating in the challenge, and one lucky winner will receive a $10.00 coupon toward any Doodle Pantry store purchase!

Pictured below is a close-up of the ants on the disco ball as well, as the interior of the card showing the coordinating papers and design.
