What's Up!?

***If you are looking for the A Day For Daisies Scavenger Hunt/Hop, please click HERE****

I'm so excited to see a few new faces following me!  Thank you for joining me and I will be making my way over to your blogs in the next day or so :)

I would like to share a card I made using this darling little turtle digi from Doodle Pantry.  He is from the Turtle Trio Color Plus set which includes three fabby colored turtle images, matching digi paper, several sentiments, and outlines of "What's up Turtle" (the one I used) and "Turtle Hello"!  Now, I originally intended to use the colored version of the image plus the digi paper but my printer is out of color ink and when I grabbed the box containing the replacement color ink cartridge...it was empty - GAH!  I try to keep my supplies stocked but oh well, at least I can always color :)  I used copic markers for everything except the markings on his shell and for that, I used DCWV printed cardstock.  I think gave his shell a generous coat of Glossy Accents - boy I love that stuff! :) - and did the same for his eyes.  The flowers were made from a Cuttlebug die (asterisks) I bought on super clearance from AC Moore  -- yep, I was digging in those bins again ;) -- and they are cut from Bazzill Smoothie paper.  The flower centers are from K&Company and the turtle brad is from Doodlebug.  I stamped the sentiment with orange ColorBox ink and a $1 clear stamp from Michaels.  I cut the card and mats using my Cricut and the "Just Because" Cards cartridge.

If you haven't tried Doodle Pantry images yet, you should head on over to the Doodle Pantry Challenge Blog grab a freebie image, whip up a card, and enter it in the Stock the Pantry Challenge.  The theme is to use a DP image so...if you already have DP images, what are you waiting for...whip up a card and enter it in the Stock the Pantry Challenge :)

Hope you have a lovely week!  <3  Lisa
