Is exactly what Quirky Skunk, one of the new releases from Doodle Pantry, is.  Laurie invited her previous DT members to do 1-month guest spots so this month I get to play along with the Doodle Pantry DT again.

Nadya is very interested in animals – skunks being one of her new favorites (thank you Critter Time @ Clinton Public library). She was super excited to see this image and immediately insisted I use Pink and Purple as my focal colors and a pink and purple skunk wouldn’t be complete without sparkle!

As this is the 1st release of the month, it’s time for a new Doodle Pantry challenge. We’d love to have you join us – the theme is to use a Doodle Pantry image. Everyone who plays along by midnight EST August 18th will receive this fabulous combo: just in time for school to resume! In addition, 1 winner will be selected to receive a $15 Doodle Pantry gift coupon for the Doodle Pantry store. So what are you waiting for?!?!?!

Have a FABULOUS Friday!

Time flies when you’re having fun right?!?! I’m having a hard time realizing July is almost over!  So, I know it’s been a long time since I posted, but there is a really good reason!!! Maybe this will give you a hint:

You guessed it – we’re expecting our 2nd baby!  Laurie over at Doodle Pantry was kind enough to create her Crazy Cravings digital stamp and coordinating Sweet and Salty digital paper sets for me – I wanted a unique and fun way to spread the news so to speak. We’re well into our 2nd trimester now – a huge relief as the 1st one was pretty rough this time around!  Between the nausea and fatigue, I had to put my DT and creative ventures on the back burner – I’m really enjoying the time with Nadya as well.

Now for the give-away portion: I’m happy to say Uprinting.com, is offering a fabulous prize to one of my blog readers!

Happy Monday! Welcome to another week – I can’t believe it’s the first full week of March!  Today kicks off another Tiffany Doodles Challenge – this time a photo inspiration.
