CDAC Freebie Challenge #9

Hello stampers, Happy Holidays!  Today I have a card I made for the CDAC Freebie Challenge.  The theme for this challenge is "Make it your own".   So to make it my own, I used the empty snow globe from Crafty Ann's and then used a digi from a different set.  I used the Quirky Penguin from Doodle Pantry.  I also used the wreath as well from Doodle Pantry.  The paper that was used is from this month's Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions, such a cute and fun kit to play with.  I also added some glitter stickles to make it look like ice/snow.

My sister Kris and I like to do "Sister Challenges"  so we decided to use the snow globe and then add any image we want,  to see what she made head on over to her blog.  

The sketch I used is from Sketches by Carly and there's a challenge going on right now thru December.  One lucky winner will win a $20 GC to the Paper Shelter.  Go check out the blog to see all the details!  Well that's about it for now, I will be back after the holidays *Ü*

Thanks for stopping by............Merry Christmas!!

A Super Birthday for a Super Girl!

Good morning and a happy Sunday!  I have a short post for you today so I'd like to start off by showing you a card I made for my niece Carly.  Her birthday is in a couple of days and she loves turtles. So I thought about this cute li'l turtle peeking over a heart from Doodle Pantry.  This set is called Critter Tops.  The sentiment I used is from a different Doodle Pantry set called Super Birdie.  That's also a very cute set that I recommend for your li'l super hero.

Doodle Pantry Snow Birdies

Good afternoon!  I'm back with another card using a new released set from Doodle Pantry.  This one is called SNOW BIRDIE.  It comes in both outlined version as well as colored versions with some fun quirky paper piecing.  I used the outlined version and colored with my copics.  The sentiment is also from the set as well as the blue/black design paper.  To make the snow, I rubbed 2 styrofoam balls together and glued it to the snowy areas.  It sparkles IRL, sorry the picture doesn't show that very well.
There is a challenge going on right now over at Doodle Pantry, DPDC17.  All you need to do is use a doodle pantry image (not just a sentiment) and if you do enter, you'll be sent a free set called  Quirky Penguin.  If you love the new quirky line from Laurie, you'll want to make sure you add this one to your collection too.  The deadline to enter is the 24th, so you still have some time to enter.  
Just a reminder, if you purchase any items from the Doodle Pantry shop, remember to add the Quirky Turkey to your cart because it's FREE with any purchase.  But only for a limited time, so hurry on over. 
I'm also entering this card in the Stampin Sisters In Christ challenge which is anything goes.

Apple Snack {Doodle Pantry}

TGIF!!  Yay it's Friday!  The weekend is finally here.  I'd like to show you a card I made using one of  Doodle Pantry's older sets called Apple Snack.  I've had this image for quite some time now and finally decided it's time to use it!  The digi papers are from Shery K designs called Apples.  There are so many awesome digi papers to buy and also some free sets.   I bought some apple brads a few months ago and this is the first time I've used them.  I think they are perfect for this image and papers.  The sketch I made up on my own.  I used my copics to color it up and made the caterpillar a bit fuzzy looking!  Hope you enjoy..
