Delicious Doodles Day

Happy Friday Everyone ... are you ready for Halloween weekend??  We usually get around 200 kids in our neighborhood and some of them really go "all out" with their costumes and of course the little ones are always so adorable!!

Today I'd like to share with you a couple creations using Delicious Doodles Digi images.  Have you checked out the new DT Blog for Delicious Doodles??  This team is amazing and unique ... I'd LOVE for you to pop over!!  ALSO ... keep watching ... we're talking about starting our own CHALLENGES ... how cool is that!  I will keep you posted with any new information!!

This creation is called "COMING HOME" and can be found along with MANY OTHERS at Teri's Delicious Doodles Shop.  Please be sure to stop over, look around and I'm sure you'll find a few lovelies you just can't live without!!  The image is black/white and I have used make-up applicators and chalk for my coloring. Faux stitching was done for a little added accent and the sentiment is by JustRite.

And my second creation uses this lovely "POINSETTIA FAIRY" and is coloring using Prismacolor Markers.  I wish you could see the 'sparkle' better in my photo ... maybe if you click to enlarge you can see it better.  I've used Deco Art Glamour Dust on the wings and around the accent of her bodice ... as well as Diamond Stickles on the Poinsettia centers. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful, fun-filled weekend!

Stamp Simply #108 - Krafty Black

WOW ... is it Friday again all ready!! I tell you I don't know where the time is going ... but it sure is in a hurry to get there, LOL!!!




One of my favorite weekly challenges is the Stamp Simply Challenge hosted by the one and only Sharon Johnson! Sharon comes up with some wonderful challenge ideas and her SIMPLE creations are magnificient!!! If you've never played along in one of Sharon's challenges, now's the time ... hope on over and check out all the details. Today we are using a color I RARELY use ... but I hear it is the "new white" ... and that is KRAFT! We are also to use black in our creation so this is what I've come up with.




Since this challenge is "Stamp Simply" ... I really tried to keep it simple today. I don't even OWN kraft paper so I used a color I thought came close. Guess I'll have to make a purchase ... just for times like this, LOL!! My sentiment is from JustRite and my oval was cut using the Nestabilities Classic Oval dies. My ribbon is actually from last years holiday ribbon stash and is from Michaels. The black pearls are Kaiser and I took the liberty to color in the heart using a PrismaColor Marker.




Thanks so much for stopping by today and PLEASE check out this challenge ... it's always great fun and her design team creates AWESOME works of art that will totally inspire you! Have a great weekend everyone ... I'm off to Toledo, OH tomorrow morning with my daughter & granddaughter to watch the dancers from Season 5 of "So You Think You Can Dance" ... can't wait, what fun!!

Stamp Simply Celebration HAS BEGUN!!

Today is the 1st of several fun filled days over on Sharon Johnson's blog and you are all invited!!! Sharon has set up a TAB on her blog (called THIS IS PARTY CENTRAL) where you can go to see what is scheduled for each day of this celebration! The tab is located in the top right corner above her banner picture ... or you can click on the word TAB above to get you there. Keep in mind, this is a guideline of what's to come ... but won't be activated until the actual day of the event.

Anyone can play ANY of the challenges by ANY of the hostesses during our 12 days of Stamp Simply Celebrates!!! You DO NOT have to have a Blog to play — uploading your project to SCS (Splitcoaststampers.com) is not only permissible, but HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. When doing so, use the KEYWORD SSC08. Thanks!

FIRST up is Janine Orchard- 2bKrafty with a COOKIE RECIPE EXCHANGE!!


We were to choose our favorite cookie recipe ... bake them up ... then package them up nice & pretty! Please check out Janine's blog for all the details. (She has even more fun up her sleeve than what I've told you here!!! )


Here is my contribution! My daughter makes all the "fancy" holiday cookies ... I make the old favorite "Chocolate Chip". I have put a little twist to the recipe though ... I've added "Macadamia" nuts & some "white chocolate" morsels along with the chocolate morsels in my recipe. Otherwise, it's the recipe on the Nestle's Toll House morsels bag. My gift box is 6 x 6 x 2 and I've used my new JustRite (Christmas Stamp Ensemble) to help me decorate the lid. I also used a snowflake stamp by Inkadinkado stamped with Versamark and a little diamond Stickles for the sparkly centers. I thought it would be nice if I had a little matching candy box made from clear acetate to go along with the cookie package. If you'd like more details, just leave me a comment and I'll get that information to you!
