Doodle Pantry | Vintage Bicycle

Here's one more Doodle Pantry image for you this month - can you believe how quickly June flew by?!  Why is it that summer vacation goes by faster than the months during the school year?  It's not fair!

This card uses the image and one of the sentiments from the Vintage Bicycle set along with some of my favorite paper - Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze collection.  I just think yellow and gray is such a classy color combination, don't you?

Sketch Inspiration 324

Here's another Sketch Inspiration card as I work frantically to catch up on the sketches before June 30 - LOL!  Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right?  (Yes, Mom, I thought I learned my lesson in 8th grade after working on that To Kill A Mockingbird project until VERY late at night - guess not!)

On this card I used all Stampin' Up products - when everything already coordinates so perfectly AND you have a sketch, the card just comes together that much easier.  Wouldn't you agree?!

OWH Sketch | Doodle Pantry Quirky Possum

Well, this was all kind of a happy accident!  I was asked to make a sample for this OWH sketch but then found out Doodle Pantry was sponsoring...turns out I'm not only involved with Operation Write Home, but I'm on the Doodle Pantry Design Team, too.  So, you get two cards for the price of one: the card I originally made for the sketch sample and the one I made with Doodle Pantry's Quirky Possum set.

If you play along with this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sunday Sketch Challenge, you could win 3 free Doodle Pantry images...hmmm, I bet you'll have a hard time deciding because they are ALL great!  Today is also the last day to join in the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge 24 - all you have to do is make a card with a Doodle Pantry image and you win a free set just for entering.  What are you waiting for - the deadline is 8 PM Central/9 PM Eastern?! Go make a card and then send it to Operation Write Home!

Sketch Inspiration 325 | Basic Grey

Here I am trying to make it right under the wire for the Sketch Inspiration 325 deadline.  I was looking through my stamps and found a clear stamp that I think I won from the pinata at Cat's Creations Scrapbooks National Scrapbook Day Retreat over Cinco de Mayo this year.  Because it had a dog on it, I thought I would use my Basic Grey pet paper that I've had for a while.  I've got to catch up with my Sketch Inspiration sketches for Cat's contest by the end of the week, so you will see a few more this week!  LOL

The sentiment says, "You make me so happy...I could wag my tail"

ODBD Monthly OWH Challenge

Each month Our Daily Bread Designs sponsors a challenge at Operation Write Home.  This month the challenge is to make a shaped card.  I've been wanting to make a shaped card for a long time, so this was the kick in the butt I needed to actually sit down and do it - LOL!  I used Nestabilities dies, one of the Hero Arts OWH stamp sets called All the Time, and red rhinestones from Queen & Co.

Please consider making a card and entering it in the monthly challenge before June 30.  ODBD sponsors the shipping for up to 2 boxes each month for Operation Write Home if we have at least 50 people entered in the challenge.  Last month we made it by the skin of our teeth!  It's such an easy thing to do to show your support for our deployed troops (yes, they are still deployed and still need our support!) and you may even win a gift certificate to use in the ODBD store.

Happy Father's Day!

I am lucky enough to have a dad and a step-dad.  I made and posted my card for my step-dad back on May 1 (click on the link to see the card details) because Doodle Pantry's May releases included the perfect bass fish image since he's a fisherman.  But, I thought I'd wait until the actual day to show you the card I made for my dad.  Now, don't get the wrong idea - I'm not saying he's a monkey and he rarely if ever wears a tie because he's been retired for quite a while, but I thought it was a cute "Father's Day" image from Dustin Pike.

Doodle Pantry | SFYTT June Challenge

I've had this adorable pre-colored Doodle Pantry image sitting on my desk for over a month (it was a May new release) waiting to be made into a card.  I love the sentiment because it can be used for so many different occasions.  I had it in mind for a friend who has been battling cancer for a few years and NEVER gives up and is always positive!  Plus, the whole thing just reminds me of the movie Nemo - Dory telling Nemo to just keep swimming and Crush the sea turtle.  Gotta love this set for so many reasons!  Everything you see on this card, except for the solid cardstock, comes from the Doodle Pantry set called Baby Sea Turtle.  The shapes are all Nestabilities dies.

I'm also entering this card in the June Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) challenge.  I just love Jen del Muro's sketches and all of the cards she makes. PLUS, she lives here in the Fort Worth metroplex!  You should check out her blog.

Don't forget the monthly Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge is still going until June 24 so you have 9 days to enter!  Everyone is a winner - you'll receive a the free set Kite Ants just for playing along - WOOHOO!
