I'm a Little Behind

 Good morning everyone and Happy Easter to you!  I'm here with a quick post for Doodle Dragon Studios and Pike's Playground.  Our next challenge is once again birthday themed...the twist this time is that you must use 2 colors from the DDS website.

I used the adorable "Under Bear" along with yellow and blue for my card.  I do so love this card and I hope you do too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Be sure to check out Dustin's blog for more fab creations from the DT and to get all the deets for the challenge!  :O)

You're a Great Friend, But...

***Please scroll down for my Doodle Dragon Studios Blog Hop post!***

Good morning everyone!  TGIF!  We have a super busy weekend with the holidays coming, what about you?  Tomorrow we're going to an "Egg Drop" where the Easter Bunny will be flying high in a helicopter and will drop 50,000 Easter eggs for the kids to gather up...doesn't that sound like fun?  LOL!  Then on Sunday we are having the family over for the traditional Easter meal followed by our own egg hunt for the kiddos!  Woot!  I hope you and your family have a great weekend!

On to the real reason for my post...it's time for another challenge at Simply Betty Challenges!  Be sure to head on over to SBC blog to get all the deets and hear about the prizes!  This time...ZOMBIE INVASION!  Show us how you get your zombie on!  We love zombies around here and I've used my favorite zombie quote on my card along with Zombie Lola.  Enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by  today!  :O)

Doodle Dragon Studios Blogiversary Hop!

Welcome Dustin Pike fans to our second blog hop!  This is a party you will NOT want to miss.  If you have arrived from my fun lovin' teamie Ginny, you're right on track...if not please start back at Dustin's blog so you don't miss any of the fun (or chances to win)! 

We are delighted to share with you some of the amazing images Dustin has recently come up with.  Today marks Dustin's 2 year blogiversary and we, the Doodle Dragon Crew, want to show you some of the fabulous Blogiversary images you can get for a fantastic price!  You can locate these images HERE, as well as many more.  200 images plus for ONLY $20.00 USD during the blog hop ONLY!  See Blog Hop details below.

Here are a couple of fun projects I made using some of the blogiversary images...enjoy!

 

A digital layout of my son playing basketball...Dudley loves b-ball so much that even his skin has taken on the texture of a basketball!  I colored and "pieced" Dudley in Photoshop CS2.

A super cute new baby card using the duck and bubble frame.  I colored the inside and added the sentiment.  My original thought when I saw this image was that it would make an adorable photo frame for a baby bath layout, but I didn't have any pictures to suit.  Colored with Copics.

Next up I used the little lamb from the farm  collection...this little baby is so sweet!  I colored this one with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.

My last project for you was done with one of the utterly adorable hippos.  This one's out for an afternoon of sand, surf and sun...not to mention fun!  He's colored with Copics and the sentiment is a rub-on by Fancy Pants Designs.

*If you purchase the Blogiversary images BEFORE Saturday at midnight (MTN) you will receive over 200 digi's for $20.00...AND if you bought the April 7th release there is a 50% off code in the file that would make the blogiversary bundle only 10 bucks...Thru Saturday ONLY!  After Saturday night they get split into sets and will be available at a different price.  Don't wait, get in on the blogiversary NOW*

Flying By To Say Hi!

Good morning, bleeps!  I hope your Tuesday has started off with a bang...figuratively, of course!  I'm here with another challenge for Anita Be Stampin Challenges!  This week we have another fab sketch by none other than Jen Shults of Deconstructing Jen.  She is beyond amazing and I'm glad to call her my friend!  Please hop on over to the blog to see all of the challenge deets and join us!

I have used the lovely and sexy rubber stamp called Broomhilda.  Everyone uses a witch for Halloween cards, but I'm here to say that witches can be used all year round!  ;O)

I hope you all like my card.  Thanks so much for coming by today!  :O)

BLISS

Good morning and happy Saturday to you!  All is quiet here in the Pierce household this morning.  It is colder than a witch's...well, never mind that.  It's just cold!  Since it is and I have buddies that are being showered with snow as a type I thought I'd share a card I made back in December.  Yes, that's right...December!  I'm a slacker.

I used the adorable digi image called Snowman from Mo's Digital Pencil.  This is one of my fave images!  I had a blast coloring him up on kraft card stock with my Prismacolor pencils.  Woot!  I hope you like it and that you're nice and warm today!

Have a super weekend and thank you for stopping by!

...Just Because

Good morning, love muffins!  Happy Tuesday to you all!  I'm here with another round of challenges for you from Anita Be Stampin!  This week we're making it easy on you...ANYTHING GOES!  You are welcome to use any image at all, but in order to win a prize you must use an Anita Be Stampin image.  Want to try one out before you buy?  Check out our ABS group on PCP!  Come by the ABS challenge blog and see all the details...

I used one of the bears from Bears and Bunches to make my project.  It's not my best work and I'm not so proud of it, but I worked through a migraine to make my tag...and someone will appreciate it!  :O)

Damn You're Old!

A new challenge is up at Pike's Playground on Dustin Pike's blog.  Let's celebrate all the birthdays out there.  I used this cute little monkey who was holding a balloon that said Get Well Soon...with the magic of Photoshop it now proclaims (with a lovely typo...whoops!) Damn Your{'re} Old!  Come on over and join us!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

New Release at Dustin Pike's!

Good afternoon all!  I just wanted to jump on and share with you that Doodle Dragon Studios has released some new images for Mother's Day today at Dustin Pike's blog. 

I used this cute guy...doesn't he just look so sweet?  Love this image!  I colored him with my trusty Copics, as usual.

Be sure to check out DP's blog to see what the other teamies have created for you too!  :O)  Thanks for coming by today!

Anita Be Stampin Release Preview

Good morning, folks!  I'm here with a fun sneaky peek of one of Anita Be Stampin's newest digi release images!  It will be released tomorrow with the other 3 cute fairies along with a sentiment sheet!  Be sure to head over to the Anita Be Stampin blog to check out all the cuteness!  Be sure to come back on Friday and join the blog hop...I'm sure prizes will be up for grabs!  ;O)

Meet Meadow!  I colored her in Copics and I have to say that I should have made her larger.  I damn near colored her whole hair bow with the hair color.  Whoops!

Don't forget to join us for the current color challenge over at Anita Be Stampin Challenge blog too!

I Love Your Smile!

Good morning, people!  I hope you are all doing better than we are over here.  My dear daughter is sickly...again.  We had her at Children's Mercy urgent care on Sunday...egads!  Turns out she has a urinary tract infection...she's miserable and I am too.  :O(  She felt a bit better today, so I'm hoping for a full recovery by tomorrow.

Anyway...I'm here for another fun challenge at Anita Be Stampin Challenges.  Today is a color challenge from our teamie Tracy.  :O)  I love it!  I used the Love Monsters set...aren't these little guys so sweet?!

Be sure to stop by the ABS Challenge blog for all the details regarding the prizes, etc...and JOIN US!  Thanks so much for coming by today!  :O)
