...............................................

This isn't what I would call an official "doodle" card, but it does use some of the ideas you'd expect in a doodle card...black outlined border with some doodly images. Although when you think of a doodle card you think of whimsical images, which this doesn't have at all. Let's call it a formal-looking doodle card and leave it at that.

I used the stamp sets Summer Silhouettes, Papillon Potpourri, and a retired stamp set Sincere Salutations for the sentiment. The Summer Silhouette stamp set created a great leafy vine and I used the small flower from the set in the corners. I filled in the rest of the lines with my black marker.

Someday I'll make a real doodle card!

"Tags For All" Hybrids

...............................................

I keep finding myself turning to the digital download Tags For All when I need a quick card, or a fun way to dress up an ordinary package or envelope. This download is full of fun tags and embellishments and it offers some fun and diverse ideas when it comes to gift-giving. (See my previous post for another package idea)

My first share started off as an ordinary white envelope which I spruced up with a Tags For All bow and Happy Birthday tag. My only original touch was to recolor parts of the confetti on the tag. I printed up the bow and tag, got out my scissors, cut them out, attaching them to my envelope. What a cute embellishment!

My second share is a hybrid card I created using a digital tag from Tags for All which I used as a card front. Other digital elements include: Strawberry Slush Polka Dot DSP background from Tags for All; Strawberry Slush Bird from Sunny Day; Basic Black Sentiment from Hugs & Wishes. I cut a Basic Black CS border for the digital image and attached to the front of a Whisper White card front. I added a little black ribbon bow and a few rhinestones for embellishments.

My third hybrid share are Thank You tags. These were created with the digital elelments: Tags For All Thank You stamp; Summer Happiness Butterfly stamp; Tags For All Strawberry Slush Polka Dot DSP. The little butterfly was handstamped using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set in Basic Black on Strawberry Slush CS, and then punched with the Bitty Butterfly and dimensionaled to tag front.

On my last hybrid share I enlarged the above the tag, cutting off the tag shaped top to create a rectangle. I carefully added the black border on the top with a ruler and black Sharpie, attaching the digital image to the center of a Whisper White Framed Tulip embossed border, framed by a Basic Black border and attached to the front of a Strawberry Slush card front. The smaller butterfly was handstamped in Basic Black on Strawberry Slush CS with Papillon Potpourri stamp set and then punched with the Elegant Butterfly. I loved the big bold "Thank You"along with the bold colors of black, white, and pink...very fun!

I thought I'd share a few of the tag samples with you from the 

digital  Tags For All kit...fun, fun, fun set!

 

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by... I hope you all have a 

wonderful day!

Today's share is a simple "new baby" card. I love the Papillon Potpourri stamp set. The coordinating Elegant butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches make it simple to create a quick embellishment for a card or scrapbooking. I did use MDS for the Early Espresso sentiment "it's a girl!", everything else was done the handmade way. (BTW...The price for My Digital Studio has been permanently reduced to $19.95)

Thanks for looking!

You Are Loved Birthday and a Poem

This card was for my oldest granddaughter. When she was a toddler she had imaginary butterflies who were her friends. One of her butterflies names was Zsa-Zsa. She has since gotten older, so I used the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly punch to create a grown up Zsa-Zsa butterfly to add to her grown up card.
The color combination and Framed Tulip idea came from one of "Create with Connie and Mary's" color challenges (Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade).

I keep finding myself using the You are Loved stamp set, which worked so well for the floral motifs. The sentiment "Happiest Birthday" is from the Apothecary Art stamp set.

My granddaughter submitted a poem to Answers in Genesis and they published it on their blog. I'm sharing her poem here and the link to the post, "An Eleven-year-old Who Gets It!"

Oh, what a sight

When God created light.

He called the light day

And the darkness night.

He separated darkness

From light as you know.

God saw that it was good.

And this is not just a show.

What did God do

On day number two?

I’ll give you a hint,

I’ll give you a clue.

Sometimes it’s black

And sometimes it’s blue.

It’s heaven or sky,

Remember the clue?

What would it be like

Without fruit, trees, or plants?

Just try to imagine it.

I bet you can’t.

If God hadn’t created

Land on the third day

You’d always be floating

Or swimming.  No way!

Three days have passed

And there still are more.

And right now it is

Day number four.

When God creates

Very wonderful lights.

Like stars, sun, and moon

For thousands of nights.

This is what

The fifth day features:

Sea animals and Flying creatures.

He made all those

Creatures on that day.

And that is all

I have to say.

Now the sixth day

Is very neat.

So how about

We have a seat.

He made animals of land

And formed man by His hand.

Out of dust man came

And soon you will find out his name.

It’s day number seven

And our week is done.

Watching God create

Was really fun.

Now it’s time for

God to rest.

Which day did

You like the best?

Thanks for letting me share!
