Blog Hop for the Digital Group at Clear Dollar Stamps

Have you been blog hopping with the Digital Stamp design team from Clear Dollar Stamps? If you have come from Dawn's blog than you are in the right place. If not, you will surely want to start over at the Clearly iStamp blog. The design team for digital stamps got together and decided we wanted to do a fun hop with one of the great new stamp sets from Clear Dollar Stamps. The set is called "Year Round Calendar". As you can see I choose the month "July".
I have a son with a birthday in July so I had to make a decision to make a July 4th card or a birthday card. You can see what even won out. =) Don't tell him. To keep on hoping you will want to go to Linda's blog and see what fun thing she created with the month of August. Thanks for stopping by and make sure you leave me a comment because Lori is giving away two sets of the "Year Round Calendar" set and you don't want to miss out!

Blog Hop for Doodle Pantry

Our first blog hop ever! How fun! We are showing off the new set "12 Days of Christmas". If you have come from Lorie A's blog than you are on the right track. If not, you will want to start over at the Doodle Pantry challenge blog. This set really is amazing and you won't want to miss any of the fun creations the design team has come up with. With this set you get so many images and so many sentiments it is crazy! I choose day 5. The only reason is - when I was a little girl we sang this song at our Chrsitmas show and I had to hold the sign for "5 Golden Rings". I remember being so nervous that I would forget to hold up my sign at the right time. Everything went just fine at the concert. This brings back a lot of fun memories.
Now to continue on the hop you will want to go to Kristine's blog to see what fun creation she came up with. Remember to leave me a comment because Laurie is giving away two of these sets free so you won't want to miss out. Have a great weekend and come and join in the challenge fun at Doodle Pantry too. You will receive a free digital set just for joining in the fun!

Eddie the Elf

Have you meet Eddie the Elf? He was new last year from Digital Delights. He is just so cute I had to color him again for this year. At the Delightful Challenge they wanted to see a sparkle Christmas project. I knew he would work great. The layout is from Christmas Challenge.
At Charisma Cardz they wanted to see a cutie. Paper Play is looking for buttons. At CCEE wanted to see 4 of each embellishments I used four buttons and bells. Papertake Weekly is having an anything goes with bling challenge. Finally, over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge they wanted to see boarders or frames. I wanted Eddie to look like he was popping out of the frame. Thanks so much for stopping by and the end of the week will be here soon! =)

Christmas Cutie

This adorable penguin is part of a new digital stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps. Well, the set was new in October but this is the first time I have been able to color him up. The set is called "Christmas Cuties" you will receive 4 images and 7 sentiments. You can also get a colored set with digital papers. He just makes me smile! =) The layout for this card came from IC Sketches. They wanted this layout with a Christmas theme. At Clear It Out they wanted us to make a card with our favorite holiday - mine is Christmas.
At Digital Tuesday they wanted cute and cuddly. Not sure how cuddly penguins are but this guy is just the cutest! At Cards For Men they wanted to see an animal. Finally, over at All Sorts they wanted to see a Christmas Easel card. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the week!

Digi Release Day for Doodle Pantry

WooHoo! The first of the month means new digital stamps at Doodle Pantry. Boy, do we have a super fun release today for all of you! We have 8 brand new sets being released today and two older sets are now being offered to purchase in color. Plus, we have a new set that we are holding until the Doodle Pantry Challenge which is on the 5th of the month. So much new stuff your head is going to spin. =)
The card I made for today is showing off two different digital sets. First of all I used the new Quirky Donkey, isn't he just adorable! I used the outline set but he also comes in a colored version. Then I used the Christmas Wreath Accents set. With this set you will receive a whole wreath but to put it around his neck you will use the partial wreath. Laurie made the partial wreath so it can be used on several of the animals. How fun is that! To see all the other new sets for the month you can hop on over to the Doodle Pantry store. You won't want to miss out on all the samples from the design team either. Thanks for stopping by and make sure you come back on the 5th to see another new set that is being released for the Doodle Pantry Challenge.
