Doodle Pantry New Release!!

Good morning all! I'm excited to have you here as I get to show off some super fun products from Doodle Pantry's February new release!  Ready?

The above image is called Cocoa Ants and guess what?  Cocoa Ants is the set you can earn for FREE just by playing along with our challenge which you can learn all about HERE.  The papers I used for this card are also from the Cocoa Ants set...so cute, huh?

And then there is the above card.  I just can't let go of my beloved Packers.  Even though they didn't make it to the Super Bowl I still had to create a card with their colors!  The set, aptly called, Football & Helmet is the FREE set with purchase through the 24th so go check it out HERE. 

Now, I hope you will go check out what all of my design team sisters have made...the list of their blogs is in my left side bar.  After you check them out I'm sure you'll be smiling and will go on to have a wonderful day!

Thought of the day:  An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

Twitterpated

Good morning! I hope you had a fantastic weekend!  Mine was busy with lots of little things so it doesn't really feel like I got anything done but really I did.  Today I get to show you a layout with A-Manda Creation's set called Twitterpated. 

This set is so cute...lots of lovey dovey animals and such but I just went clean and simple on my layout.  I've been wanting to take the photos of Todd and I from the lame scrapbook I had them in and put them in a digital format so that is what I did.  I have lots more photos of Todd and I so I'm looking forward to creating more pages!

I know this is a short post today but lots to do today too so...I'm off!  Have a wonderful day!

The Companion Page

It's Woohoo! Who has fun plans for the weekend? I don't, not really but it just being the weekend makes me happy! I'll be working on projects for the Doodle Pantry new release on Wednesday next week. I can't wait to show you the fun images DP is releasing this month!

So, the above page is the companion to the one that I showed you yesterday.  While it has some of the same colors it isn't winter because it is just about the "stuff" in our week.  I did much more jounaling on this one that I have done on the others but it is still just pretty general stuff.  I'm really liking this P52 process.  I did get behind on my scanning though so I have to do double tomorrow.  I love doing it though because it is a walk down memory lane in most cases.  This weekend I'll be making some more pages so stayed tuned!

Well, that is it from me for today!  I hope you have a fun day!

Thought of the day:  Wake up every morning with the thought something wonderful is going to happen.  Wouldn't that be an amazing way to start your day?

Snow Day

Good morning friends! Well we are on the backside of this week...how has your week been? It has been a good week for me, busy but good.  And today is Care Net day so I'll be working out, showing and heading on over to Care Net 'til Kyler is done with school.  Doesn't leave much room for crafting during the day...darn it!

This page is one of my P52 pages.  This last week we have had tons of snow so that is one of the big stories here in town.  Kyler got to play outside and we found that Trixie loves the snow too.  Then when the 8th graders from Kyler's class went to swim lessons I guess there is a tradition that if there is snow on the ground you go make snow angels...in your swimsuit!  Brrr!  There is another page to this book but I'm just sharing this one today because....

Well, did you come back to find out my news?  Okay...today is the day!  Yes, it is design team related.  Well, actually it is Creative Team related.  I am excited to announced that after only about 2 months of digital scrapbooking I have been accepted on my very first Creative Team.  The above page is made with Snow Day by A-Manda Creation...the designer I am going to be working with!  This is wonderful for so many different reason...Amanda's designs are so cute and so my style, with being on a Creative Team I will get many more pages done for my personal album, and you know how it is...if I'm on a CT I will must create...I'm just honored she would have me!  Her blog is here if you want to follow it.

So...get ready to see lots more scrapbooking as well as fun cards!  That is all I have for you today so I'm going to get busy doing other things.  I hope you have an amazing day today!

Thought of the day:  You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.  With God, you can do anything and fear nothing. 

A reason to celebrate...

Well, here we are at mid-week!  Has everyone had a good productive week so far?  Mine has been wonderful so far!  I'll just tell you know that I can not spill the beans about my big news yet.  Hopefully tomorrow.  I can tell you that it is crafting related.  Does that help you guys out at all?

Anyway, here is another card made with the sketch for these two week over at Sketches by Carly.  I've used another of Karen's Doodles images...I love this Penguin Cupcake!  I happened to have the perfect paper on hand so it all fell together so quickly!

Well, I should probably scoot.  I have plenty of chores and such to do today plus I'm going to lunch with a couple of friends of mine, yay!  Have an amazing day everyone!

Thought of the day:  It is what it is---but it will become what you make it.  ~Doris Dillon  You know I say the phrase it is what it is a lot but I really like the added...but it will become what you make it.  I think that helps me take my responsibility in whatever "it" is and turn it into something good.
