Shopping Our Stash Challenge #97: Text or Letters

I decided on a "shabby chic" design for this challenge. I gathered stamps from multiple sets and this is my creation.

S & S Midweek Challenge: A Bug's Life!

Here she is. One of my favorite Doodle Pantry characters who is just about as excited as I am today! I just heard from son and d-i-l that their baby is a girl ;) Due date is August 20th. Can I stop smiling? What do you think!!!

OWH Design Bootcamp: Using Odd Numbers in Design

Recently, I received some foam-type embellishments as a gift. So I decided they could easily be used for the current Design Bootcamp lesson/challenge. The CS is from my stash and the stickers have no product identification. The color combination is one I have never used (pink and yellow). But, I think a young girl might really enjoy receiving it from her mom or dad.

OWH Sketch # 168

Wow...another terrific sketch. I've been meaning to use this owl paper for some time. So this is the time. I am also in the midst of a project to trim down my 12x12 papers to A2 card size. These light brown and dark brown papers were ready for the trimmer so I used them on this card instead.
I can see that my positioning is somewhat off-center. I have kits made up to make multiples of this card and I will be more careful in the future ;)
I do like the masculine color combination, though.
