Doodle Pantry: Sketch Saturday

If there is one single reason for my lack of weight loss in the month of December, it can probably be directly linked to the frosted sugar cookies that currently live in my house.  They are my kryptonite!  I'm trying to pack them in the kids lunches to get rid of them lickity-split.

I wanted to share a card I made using one of Laurie's beautiful images.  It's a sweet mouse eating what I SHOULD be eating ... fruit rather than cookies!  It's called  Cherry Nice Mice and can be found in the Doodle Pantry shop.

I'm using the sketch over on the Sketch Saturday blog.

Bugaboo Chaos #3

It's day three of the Bugaboo Christmas Chaos.

I'm starting to doubt that I will make it.  I am so tired ... can she keep up the creativity for another four days?  Dunno.

It's super late but I wanted to get my card posted today before the craziness of tomorrow.

Today's challenge: color.  Since I love these colors, the card came together fairly easily.

I'm using the sketch over on the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I thought that this sketch would totally work.

Bugaboo Chaos 2

It's the second day of the Bugaboo Christmas Chaos and our network is down.  (Printer down!  Printer down!!)

Sooo no Bugaboo image to use but this From the Heart snowman is awfully cute.

Today there is a sketch.

Bugaboo Chaos #1

Snow!

I love snow except when I have to drive in it or wear high heels.  ((sigh))  I will be doing both in just a few hours.  Cross your fingers that I don't face plant.  Or die.  Or get my cool up-do icky.  Wow, that sounded ridiculously brainless.  Sorry.

Another of my favorite things about this time of year is the Bugaboo Christmas Chaos.  There are always such good prizes (as well as an opportunity to finish up my cards)  Today's theme, on the first day, is use a Santa image.

I'm using the sketch from Stella Says Sketch too.

TMS 329: Peek-a-Boo Bunny

I had to giggle a bit when I read Patti's description of her stamp collection.  She called herself a "crazy cat lady" because most of her stamps were of cats or flowers.  It got me thinking about MY collection.  I realized that really ... I just have too many in general!

This little cutie is what she sent. It's an image by Penny Black called "Pansy Bunny."  And since this is her first Christmas without her mom, Patti also encouraged us to use the color turquoise.  It was her mom's favorite color.  I kinda used A LOT of turquoise but I wanted to do it justice since this card is going right back to Patti!

I'm using the sketch over on the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog.  It was super cute and REALLY worked with the image.

SSW2-Dillly Beans

It's Wednesday (insert a heavy sigh here).  Does the week after a break always seem waaaaay longer than any other week?  I'm drinking twice the normal amount of coffee this week and I'm still wondering if I will make it until Friday ... yikes.

It's time for another sketch challenge over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 blog.  This week we have Megan Suarez from Dilly Beans Stamps as our sponsor.

She has a wonderful mix of images that are just fun to color.  This week I was given "Penny and Fox Framed" to use.  I couldn't help but think of my youngest niece when I colored up this image.  She is in love with all things foxy.  I bought her a pair of silly fox socks while she was in town.  Miss that silly girl.

I hope you get a chance to join in the fun over on the SSW2 blog.  Remember, you must comment so you can WIN the three free images from Megan's shop.

Nutty Girl: Ants in My Pantry

24 days until Christmas and I've decided to make some of my gifts.  Seriously?!!  ((Sigh))  I never seem to learn!!

In addition to being "Joanna Is A Complete Nut" day, it's also the first of the month.  That means it's time for the monthly Ants in my Pantry Digital Challenge over on the Doodle PantryBlog.  As always, it's an anything goes challenge.  Remember, you must use a digital image to participate.

I'm using Laurie's Birthday Fall Critters set.  What a fantastic set; there are 10 images and 16 phrases!  Lots to use and they are all super cute!

I'm also participating in the Sketch Saturday post this week.  It was an easy sketch and totally usable.
