Did I hear there's "SOMETHING YUMMY TO EAT"?

 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!  Their badge is available on request if you don’t already have it, let Doodle Pantry know.  Here's a place for badges too.

Look at what's up this month!  A Pantry full of Doodles!  Next Question.  What do you do with a pantry full of doodles?  You have something yummy to eat!  That's it... 

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.   

Doodle Pantry Pears and Raspberries, Kissy Lips, Mustache Mish Mash.
MFT Die-namics Circle Stax

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.  

Sweet Stuff available with purchase from Doodle Pantry Digital Stamps

Next up  is Cathie who has also used Doodle Pantry Sweet Stuff

She has created this card using the digital image of the lollies and the matching sentiment.

Adding a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Die, she created a card for any age.

To see all the details head over to Cathie's blog House of Borowski

Let's see what Dawn has in store for us.  Dawn thinks healthy thoughts.  Dawn used an image from one of the kits from Doodle Pantry.  You can get this design in either pre-colored or sketched so you can go have fun coloring the images yourself

.  Pre-colored images here and uncolored images here.

Michelle has a fabulous card coupled with such a great design and color combo, which seems to be just perfect.

There's always a Garden at Hero Arts

It's a Hero Arts Day!

Arlene's butterfly is crawling up the stem of the flower to say "Have a FABULOUS Day" to you all.  I overdid the sparkle, but I was in a mood to bring sparkle into my life.  It's spring and the flowers are popping up here.

I really like the plants Hero Arts created for their spring catalog this year.  I hope you like them too.  I've planted my own succulent garden.  At least these will live longer than the ones in my house.

Remembering with Hero Arts

Hi everyone,
Cathie here with some more Hero Arts Inspiration. 
Using Hero Arts Hand Drawn Flower, I have created a multi-layer flower after colouring with assorted distress inks.  I have kept the layout really simple as I wanted the flower and the computer generated sentiment to be the focus. 

You can find more details over on my blog at

House of Borowski

Butterflies in the Garden

Happy Easter all.

Today I have two cards to share with butterflies.  I LOVE Hero Arts Butterflies and the stamp and die set I used are really awesome

As you can see there are lots of die cuts and layers with this one.

This one uses the same HA butterfly with a Quietfire Designs sentiment and the frame is a Couture Creations die.

More details at my blog (here)

When I read that Lee Ann fussy cute every one of these tulips, I was so impressed! I don't have that kind of patience. The background is really pretty, and the windmill is really cool with the metal for the spinning piece. This card will really make someones day!

Dawn's favorite

I love the grass  and the cute little girl.  The bow is so pretty.  Love the spring colours. 

Arlene's favorite is Gail L.

The butterfly is just beautiful, but does not overwhelm the card or the image.  I love the shading on the little gal and especially the hair.

Cathie's Favourite is Yogi

I love the delicacy as well dimension of this lovely dress. I also love how Yogi has included all these great elements peaking out from behind, gorgeous.
