ADFD New Release and "Doodle" challenge

Greetings!

Happy Friday!  It seems to be like it took forever to get here. lol  I kept thinking yesterday was today and it just had me all scrambled in the head.  Anyways, it is time for ADFD's challenge and new release.  Today we are playing with the adorable  "It's a Child's World" images.




Doesn't this image just make you wish for sweet dreams?  I think it captures the innocence of childhood.  I wanted to honor that feeling by using colorful papers and I even added more sweet goodies by Tammy.

Recipe:
Image:  Lollipop Dreams
Sentiment:  by ME!
DP:  SU, Yellow Bicycle, Doodle Pantry
Diecuts:  I went diecut crazy on this one. lol  I used Spellbinders - Eyelet circle, Ice cream cone, Scallop Oval, and Star.

As usual, you can pick this precious image up from the ADFD store (along with the entire set). While you are there color her up and enter her in our "Use your noodle and add some Doodle" for a chance to win $12 store credit. You can also check us out on FB, CDAC, PCP, and the Crafter's Cafe.

THANK YOU post!!

Greetings!

I am not posting any cards today, but instead I just wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU!  I would like to thank all my e-buddies for following me, commenting and just being a joy to get-to-know.

Also, I want to thank all the DTs over at The Outlawz Challenge site.  If you didn't know, this past week they held an AWESOME 1,000 member party.  They had tons of rockin' sponsors who gave away some ridiculously FAB stuff!  I won a Coloring me Creative Classroom Copic class with Suzanne Dean.  I took a couple classes with her in person (I believe it was her first on the road classes) here in Michigan, so this is the cherry on top. lol  I also won an opportunity to have a blog banner designed by Pezadoodle.  It's like an early Christmas!

I would like to also thank two of my e-buddies, as well as DT members for The Outlawz, Ms. Trina and Ms. Sara.  You both rock!!  Thank you for telling me about the challenge and the awesome group over there.  I will definitely be hanging out there more often. 

Well, that is all I have for now.  Check back tomorrow for ADFD's New Release and Challenge post.  Have a great weekend!!

Mo's DP2 Challenge: Quilt Pattern

Greetings!

Happy Saturday!  I am quickly dropping in to show you a creation I made using Mo's Urchin girl with bird and little drummer boy image.  I will be entering this creation in the DP2 Challenge which the theme this week is "Quilt" pattern. 


For the background, I used Wax Fruit Company's heart quilt piece and digitally paperpieced the individual squares.  I love how it turned out and wish I would have showed the heart in the center off more, but I have ideas for doing another one. :-)

ADFD New Release "Vintage Halloween"

Greetings!

Happy Friday everyone!  I am going to make this a quick post (at least try to), because the sun is shining and birds are singing outside and I want to play. lol  I bring to you today the new release set from ADFD entitled "Vintage Halloween."  This set is stuffed full of images that range from vintage (as the name implies) to down right cute.  The cutie that I chose to work with today is the lil pumpkin.  This little adorable guy looks like maybe he wanted to dressed like a vampire; however, his mother thought he would make the most adorble pumpkin...and she was right!



I had a blast digitally paper piecing this lil pumpkin.  He just looks so round and cute. lol

I used the layout from Monday MoJo.  I will be entering him in their contest and fingers crossed maybe he will get picked, but if not at least people will get to see how cute he is. :-)



Recipe:

Mo's Kimono for DP2 "Furry Friends" Challenge

Greetings!

Happy first Monday in October!  I guess it is officially time to get started on those Christmas cards.  Yikes!  Well, they will have to wait a little while longer, because I'm just not ready. lol  Before I show you my creation using Mo's Kimono, I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Cheryl Joshua of My Card Haven for the wonderful goodies she sent me this past weekend.  I have used some of the papers for my creation.  Cheryl was assisting in raising funds for Lyndall and I purchased digis to help out.  You probably have seen other blogs that were doing the same.  Well, I am glad that I could help out in some small way.

Okay, I don't know if you guys do this or how often, but I decided to take inventory of my "Mo" digis.  I did this for two reasons.  The first reason is because I won the DP2 challenge last week and didn't want to get a duplicate image.  Second reason for this was because I kept seeing cards that I made a long time ago using certain images, but couldn't recall where the images went. lol  I managed to get some of my "Mo" images in a folder and am still on a quest to locate the others.  Well, this quest led me to the Kimono image I used in this creation.  I hadn't seen her for a while and thought she would fit this challenge perfectly.  The paper became my inspiration for the entire card, which rarely happens to me.  I can't thank Cheryl enough for sending me this beautiful package.

Well, thank you for stopping bye.  I hope your Monday is peaceful and filled overflowing with happiness!!
