Welcome Spring!! You haven’t arrived a moment too soon!!!!   Today we are beginning a 3 day blog hop at Tiffany Doodles!  Every Design Team member is giving away a Tiffany Doodles Digital Stamp at their blog, plus, there will be a Grand Prize at Tiffany Doodles Blog!  You’ll have to follow and leave a comment on each blog to win, but you’ll have 3 days to visit us.

I put together a little something to inspire you – I went all digital on this one, and had a lot of fun “playing”.  I hope you like it too! I used Tiffany Doodles Mushroom House and Birdies Digital Stamps along with Echo Park Paper’s Little Girl Digital Papers.  My dear friend Jodiann’s Chalkies Styles made coloring a breeze in Photoshop!
For my give away, I’m offering Tiffany’s Water Pitcher digital stamp. I think of Lemonade and Spring every time I see this stamp!

For the Official TD Blog Giveaway – you could win a $10 Gift Certificate & this Echo Park Paper Be Mine paper and element set!  (Winners chosen by Random.org)

I’d also like to mention the Tiffany Doodles Card Challenge starts on Monday the 7th and lasts for 2 weeks to allow you lots of time to be creative! In addition, Tiffany is running great SALES for March:  Buy 5 items and get 10% off your order, or, buy 10 items and get 20% off your order (these are in addition to her fabulous freebies).  Take some time to wander around the store at Tiffany Doodles – you never know what you will find.

Have a fabulous weekend!

As my last “official” new release creation for Doodle Pantry (sniff sniff), I opted for Laurie’s Irish Birdie and St. Paddy’s digital papers.  The Irish Birdie set has a bonus pre-colored birdie – so I opted to create with him. 

I used a clover shape in Photoshop and layered it with the Saint Paddy’s papers to create the Birdie’s mat. The Sentiment is included in the set; I used the Select Tool and expanded it out to make the mat.  After printing everything, I used my Spica pens to add sparkle since Laurie’s newest challenge involves Sparkle and Bling!  Though you c an use any DIGITAL image for this challenge – we would love to see Doodle Pantry images – check out the freebie section if you’d like.

Have a FABULOUS day!

Good Morning! I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is only a week away! Since today is the 7th, we have another Tiffany Doodles challenge for you…this one is a Valentine theme.  We have made a few minor changes to our challenge – it will continue to start on the 7th, but will last only 2 weeks and, though we welcome images from any designer on our creations, if you use a Tiffany Doodles image, the grand prize is a $10 gift certificate. The runner up is $5.  I do hope you’ll join us – just create a NEW Valentine-themed project and link it here.

For my project, I used an image from Tiffany’s Hand Drawn Hearts digital stamp set. I love the buttons in this image and chose to pair them with awesome DP from the My Mind’s Eye Love Nest (by Carina Garner) paper pack that I found at Hobby Lobby. I LOVE the colors and textures on this paper! The buttons are painted with my Twinkling H2O paints and “stitched” with white embroidery floss.  I used a piercer to make the button holes before “sewing”.  The accent mats are from DCWV glitter stacks – cut with EK Success Edge Punches and/or Nestabilities. My card base is textured CS from Bazzill’s Pink collection – it’s a fabulous burgundy color that matched the DP perfectly.

Tiffany’s new store is up and running – no more blog store, which makes for a much simpler shopping experience for you! She still offers weekly freebies and $1 specials, so what are you waiting for – come create with us! Be sure to stop by the Tiffany Doodles Blog to see what the other DT members have for you and to show us your challenge creation!

That’s all from me.  We have a busy day in the Desert – pre-school followed by grocery shopping and the car wash and ending with a follow-up dr. appointment for my little one. Busy busy!  Have a fabulous week!
