Welcome Fall!

Happy Fall!  Well, Fall is officially here.  While I hate to see summer end, I do love the beautiful, cool, crisp days, and the rich colors of Fall. To celebrate the season, my card today showcases a Fall scene that I made by combining 3 different Doodle Pantry sets -- Apples, Old Wheelbarrow and Pumpkin Birdie Pre-Colored.  To make my card, I used pre-colored images and grouped and merged the images in a Microsoft Word document.  

I would like to enter this card in the following fun challenges:

Christmas Flamingo

Happy Saturday,  Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the 2 Sisters Challenge #161.  The challenge is a sketch and it's a dream to work with .

For my take on the sketch, I used Doodle Pantry's Fancy Flamingo image and dressed him up for Christmas with a Santa hat and gift packages from Santa Accessories Color Plus.  The sentiment is from Merry Mistletoe Color Plus.   Patterned papers are from Santa Acessories Color Plus and Winter Accessories.  The 2 seagulls and sun dimensional stickers are by Jolee's Boutique.  All Doodle Pantry images, patterned papers and sentiment that I used to make this card are digital and pre-colored, which will make this an easy card to mass produce to send to family and friends that live in warm climates.

I chose to work with Beccy's wonderful Candy Canes image, which I paper pieced and dressed with lots of layers.  This was a fun card to make.  Besides lots of layers, I used 3 different oval dies and and punched corners.  Embellishments include a white ribbon border and new SU! candy dots.  Although barely visible in the photo, the holly berries were coated with liquid glass.

Pumpkins

Morning everyone!  Sorry it's been so long since I posted...  Life got in the way of crafting due to some necessary home repairs that needed to be done.  The good news is today's the day that Doodle Pantry is releasing their September sets, and you are in for a treat!  Laurie has added some spectacular new sets to the Doodle Pantry store which you won't want to miss.  I am thrilled to share today's card which showcases the new Pumpkin set which will be 'free with purchase' from September 5 through September 24.  

For my card, I grouped 2 different outline pumpkin images from the set; colored them with Copics, colored pencils, and added some gamsol magic.   After cutting out the pumpkins, I heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder mixed with dazzling diamonds.  The green patterned paper is also from the Pumpkin set.  The sentiment I used is from another Doodle Pantry set, Pumpkin Peeps.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

The Perfect Sentiment PSC90 -- Ribbon, Bakers Twine, Seam Binding or all 3 (I used ribbon.)

Papertake Weekly Challenge -- Anything Goes
