 Doodle Pantry takes pride in creating a diverse selection of doodling styles, like realistic or whimsical, and all of which are family and kid friendly illustrations.  We hope you enjoy our wide variety of styles for every family occasion!  

I love the biscotti and wonderful coffee mug.  I don't drink coffee and now I'm tempted because this looks so GOOD!  A BIG Thank you to Marsha.

Let me Introduce

Let me introduce our new Diva!

Monica Maier

Monica is from Illinois in the USA.  She's the owner of a Cuttlebug  and a Cricut.  She'll be starting June 1st. when we start our new challenge.  Here's Monica's bio below.

Monica:

My husband and I have 3 boys, and I work part time at Michael's. I've lived in IL since 2003 but was born in TX. I grew up a "military brat", so I've been lucky to TX, FL, Germany, IN, NC and IL home at some point in my life. I've been crafting things since I was little. I've dabbled in painting (canvas, wood and plaster houses), sewing, wreath making, crochet, scrapbooking and card making. Card making has become a favorite, why buy a card if I have the supplies to make my own!

Find me at:

Our blog challenge for May is 

"SOMETHING YUMMY TO EAT"
The prize is  a $10 gift certificate.  We will announce the winner of this May contest on June 2, 2015.  

Here is DT, Marsha Drain, with one of the cutest pair of pears I've ever seen.  I couldn't get over this card when I first saw it on our Designer gallery.  I found it so unique and joyful, cheery and fun card that I'd love to send this to all the pairs I know.  Do you notice that even the background colors and pattern are just perfect?  Yes, they are.

Next up is Arlene, who still puts nickels in the candy machine on her boss's desk.  I just loved the colors because you can use just about any color to trim, embellish or otherwise decorate this card.  I really think this image would appeal to all ages, young or old, male or female.
