Using "Welcome Baby" image for the April Challenge at Paper Nest Dolls!

Well after a brief hiatus, I'm able to return to Paper Nest Dolls for the April Challenge, which we have every month on the 3rd.  So excited to be using one of the new March Releases called Welcome Baby.  It seems people are always wanting baby cards and I never have enough.  So it was a great chance to start building these up with these cute animals.
After coloring with Copics, I kept the background white-sort of Fresh looking!  Put brown, gray, blue and yellow epoxy dots as accents.  This mini dot design paper already had the heart edge so I used it as an accent also.  There's a brown & white check as a mat for the image-I decided to give them a gray paver street to walk on.  On the inside, I used a boyish style print that I thought match really well and stamped it with a sentiment from my stash.
I hope you will join us at the Challenge-we'd love to see your creations!

Last post for Doodle Pantry! Lovely Baby Boy card~

I was getting this little baby boy's card finished up this evening and realized that I could still list it on Doodle Pantry!  The magic hour is at midnight tonight when the Ball will be over but, until then I can post 1 more thing~  It's from a set called Lucky Lamb and is so precious to be used for babies, springtime, Easter, St. Patrick's Day... very versatile.
I used the little butterfly paper from Lauries' Teeny Butterfly set, placed a sheer green ribbon over the end, popped the lamb up with foam dots, and used the curved sentiment from the set.  He has such an adorable face!

The inside I used a paper from my stash, some gorgeous glimmer cardstock from The Paper Cut called Bluebell, and then a vellum sentiment from an assorted page of baby boy sentiments.
I'm so thankful I have such a wonderful digital library compliments of super creators like Laurie from The Doodle Pantry.  Please continue to follow that great site and all the talented designers.  There's much more to come!

I'd like to enter this in Challenge:

Ants in My Pantry Challenge(Doodle Pantry)-Anything Digital Goes

New BABY card using Gigi Giraffe from Doodle Pantry!

It seems like there's always a demand for BABY cards among my friends so when I saw this cute set at Doodle Pantry called Gigi Giraffe...well, I just knew I would be using it a lot!  It's got such a fun image, cute papers and great sentiments!  Because they're pngs, I can layer the whole lot to build interest.  I used the green solid "paper" to create a ribbon, layered the saying and added a felt cut flower and some dew drops for a pop of bling.  On the inside, again layers with another flower.  Doodle Pantry makes it so easy to get your cards done.  Remember there's a challenge going on now and here's the information about that!

Baby Boy Congratulations Card using Doodle Pantry!!

Friends of our sent the cutest Baby Boy birth announcement-he was sitting up in a fishing creel basket with a pole and a crocheted fish.  So adorable!!  The perfect chance to use one of the digital bundles at Doodle Pantry called Baby Shoes for my congratulations card~I fancy cut the shoes out and used pop dots on them.  All the patterned papers come with the set.  I used a Kraft cardstock from The Paper Cut as a mat-the color was perfect! 

As accents, I used pastel blue dew drops and rayon seam binding.  This seam binding was originally in a dusty blue but I like to make it vintage looking sooo to do that, I cut a long length, place in a plastic bag, I spritz it with walnut ink, wad it up into a ball and seal up the bag. Later I take out the very kinked up "ribbon" and let it air dry, still in the loose pile.  You get a very variegated ribbon and it looks very vintage.  The inside shows another paper, one of the included sentiments and a cute pewter dragonfly brad.
