I Totally Missed "Talk Like a Pirate Day"!

Good Morning! Have I got a cutie pie Doodle Pantry image for you! I don't know if you love pirates (well the old time ones, not the ones off the Middle East Coast), or not, but I totally love pirates...which is no surprise since my very favorite place on all the earth is Ocracoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, which incidently, is where Blackbeard the Pirate had his hideout and ultimately met his demise there. And! I totally missed "Talk Like a Pirate Day!" Not that I'm any good at it, it's just fun to try...

Anyway, the Doodle Pantry image on this card is called "Pirate Birdie", illustrated by Laurie Wilson and is available for purchase now! Pictured below, is the card interior showing how I coordinated the papers to match the front of the card. Remember, you can right-click on any photo to view it larger.

Oh What Fun...

Good morning my dear friends & followers! I apologize for the time span between my last posting and this posting, but life sometimes just gets in the way of cardmaking...you know what I mean? With September came a new gym membership, personal trainer, bible study and with housecleaning and other responsibilities, I've been challenged by balancing everything out to a nice, smooth routine...maybe next week will be better. But anyhoo...here's my latest card I have to share with you, featuring the September 5th release of Doodle Pantry's "Sledding Ants". Now, I don't know if ants go sledding in the wintertime or not, but they must do something for fun and I couldn't wait to color this whimsical image that Laurie Wilson illustrated. Today, Laurie releases her September 20th collection of Doodle Pantry images, so don't miss them!

Color Me Bright!

Good Morning! I'm seem to be in a bright spectrum mood lately, with respect to cardmaking and this card is no exception! I bought the new Cosmo Cricket Pixie-licious Mini Deck paper collection and immediately grabbed the background paper that you see to work with and that meant using a celery green, pale pink, deep teal and vibrant purple! And I kinda like this color combo...once I got used to it! LOL

Today's card features "Froggie" from Laurie Wilson's Doodle Pantry collection and he is also available for purchase, pre-colored for those who want to make a quick card. Check out both "Froggie" versions to see which one is right for you (make sure that you scroll down the whole page to see them both)! Pictured below, is the card interior with matching papers and a Dragonfly to correspond with the sentiment "Time's Fun When You're Having Flies"!!
