Doodle me a Dream!

This time around I am showcasing a wonderful image from Doodle Pantry entitled "Dream Catcher". I used the lined image and colored with my markers. This set comes with both lined and colored images along with sentiments. I decided to do an easel card. I did use a glitter pen on parts of the webbing and the feathers but it is hard to see from my pictures.

Laurie has her monthly challenge going on over at the Doodle Pantry blog so be sure to play along! Use a Doodle Pantry image and you will receive a free set for entering! This is the best deal around! I would like to enter the following challenges: Make it Monday #89 - Always Anything Goes Quirky Crafts - Masculine with blue & brown Allsorts #154- Card for man or boy

Girly Girl Challenge

Today over at Jellypark Friends there is a new challenge for you! We want to see your "girly girl" creations. This could be a card, or scrapbook page or any other type of creation as long as it is all about being "girly girl"! I chose to use a cute image by Claire at Jellypark Friends. My sentiment is from Create with TLC and I thought it was a perfect fit for this darling little girl. What do you think?

I colored her with a combo of Copic and Promarkers. I used a glitter pen for her green design on her dress. My paper is from Quick Quotes and the image was cut out using a Spellbinder die.The ribbon is from Michael's. Go over to Jellypark Friends and see what the rest of the DT have created for this challenge. Also make sure that you check out the new release today! I would like to enter this into the following challenges: Creative Craft Challenges - Anything Goes Shopping Our Stash - Mother's Day or anything Girly Creative Mondays - Anything Goes

Rise and Shine!

I made my card using one of the new images that is available at Create with TLC. Paulette asked me to make something using this new set. It comes with three images. I used my Cricut and Country Life cartridge to make this fun sunrise die cut. I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the suns' face. My paper is a bronze shimmerry paper from DCWV. I popped up parts of the sun with pop dots. My image was colored with my trusty Copic markers.

For Mom...

Over at Lia Stampz there is a new challenge this week! "Make Something for Mom or that Special Lady in your Life" (Challenge #16). We were given this sweet little image to work with and right away I thought of this sentiment from TLC Creations. What a perfect fit! Isn't that little boy just adorable?. I colored the image with both Promarkers and Copics.

I also have "flipped" the image horizontally before I printed it. I love the versatility of digital images! Go on over to Lia Stampz and check out the challenge! Have a great May 1st everyone! I would like to enter the following challenges: Creative Monday - Anything Goes Hooked on Crafts - Flowers Make it Monday #87 - Anything Goes

Doodle Pantry May Release!

Laurie over at Doodle Pantry

has outdone herself this month! All of her new releases are so wonderful! Go over and check them out...you won't be disappointed! I chose to work with one of her new sets; "Quirky Shark". What an adorable shark (and I never thought I would put those two words together...lol!) For my first card I colored the image with my Copics. I used some of the yummy digital papers that come with the set. I also used a piece of yellow card stock that was donated to our school by a business. (They used it to print checks on...lol!). The image was cut out using a Spellbinders die. I then inked the edges and added two layers of paper behind it. The yellow paper was faux stitched and then I had fun with another die to make all of the seaweed! The sentiment is also from this set.

For my second card I used the colored version of the sharks and flipped one of them in Photoshop. The papers are from the set but the sentiment is from another set sold by Doodle Pantry. A few "candy dots" and a pretty ribbon and it was finished! There are a lot of sales going on right now at Doodle Pantry to help celebrate this new release too!
