Dragons, Dragons & More Dragons

Dustin released a new set of 15 dragons today! As usual, I love them!

These are a definite must have set! Head over to Dustin's website to pick them up and see the Design Team's creations. http://dustinpike.blogspot.com/

Teacher Appreciation Door #2

Here's my second Teacher Appreciation door I did last week. Originally when Dustin released this digi, Ellie had a birthday hat on her head and a cupcake in her trunk. Remember her now? I substituted flowers instead. We have the best teachers and faculty at our school. I love them!

Teacher Appreciation Door

Did you realize Dustin's digis make the cutest Teacher Appreciation door decorations? I put the image on my projector and paper pieced him together. I'm not sure why, but I designed the door knob to be on left side. I've seen this door for the last 6 years and suddenly my mind forgets it's on the right? Silly me. You'll have to wait until Monday to see my other door. :)

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Dudley says "Go Green!" I just opened my new Give a Hoot Cricut cartridge and was playing with it to get the title. I love my Cricut and Dustin's digis. Great combo!

Happy Blog-Iversary Dustin!

Happy Blog-Iversary Dustin! Happy one year with many more to come! To celebrate this grand occasion Dustin has released a set of 233 digis plus a couple more sets (Alice in Wonderland and Teddy Bears). If you missed the special one day sale, you can still pick up the digis.

Here are my creations from the release:

My dad sent me this email last night. I don't know who wrote it, but for some reason (perhaps because I had just finished exercising) it struck me as funny. Pair it with Dustin Pike's new Teddy Bear release for his one year Blog-Iversary and you have my silly card.


Updated...here's one of the freebies from today's party at Dustin's blog. I couldn't resist him. There's a P.F. Chang's gift card inside the box. Perfect timing! What did the fortune cookie say? "You are always welcome in any gathering." Yea! Let the party continue.


Okay, this is my last card of this great celebration day. My dad is a serious walleye fisherman so I had to make this card because the fish are always bigger in the story than real life. Love ya Dad. ;) This is another digi from Dustin's new Teddy Bear collection. The title is from Graphically Speaking Cricut cartridge.

Have fun!

Thanks for stopping by! Follow me. :)

Doodle Design Studio Challenge #8...Sketch it

I live in a city where the wind seems to blow all the time. So when Dustin released this cute kite flying lion, I knew I had to use him!

This week's challenge is another sketch...feel free to flip it, change the shapes, etc. This is just a starting point. Don't forget to use a Doodle Dragon Studios image! Here's your sketch to work from:

Girls Like Dragons Too! Challenge #4

It's time for another challenge! Every quarter each Design Team member chooses a theme for a challenge. This was my idea. I read a comment that someone said their boys love dragons. Well..girls like dragons too! Isn't it amazing how ideas are born?!

Second card for Girls Like Dragons Too!

Here's my second card for the challenge. I was so excited/distracted about creating the Girl Power card it was hard to focus on this card. Lesson learned...only make one card!

Card Request...

Here is my card for Delia following Dustin's request.

This is from Dustin:

I have a Special Request...

Jennifer from http://just4funcrafts.blogspot.com asked if I could help and ask for card donations..

This is part of the email:

On Friday, December 11th, 2009 my friends daughter Delia was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. She is 10 yrs old and is currently being treated at the Denver Children's Hospital.

She loves art, photography and really loves owls. I was hoping that there would be some wonderful women or men out there that would love to send her a card of encouragement. I thought it would bring a smile to Delia's face to be inundated with cards as a special Valentines Day gift from people around the world. Please find it in your heart to bring hope and love to this beautiful spirited girl. Any card will do..but if you have an owl that would be a bonus. Please pass this information around so we can thrill a little girl in her time of hardship!

She is on her second round of chemo and its been a struggle for her, although she is doing better today.
An address for her mail is here.
Att: Delia Cadwallader
2048 Sandhurst Dr.
Castle Rock, CO 80104

IF you are willing to make a card/something for this little girl go to my website for the owl images to use for her and whenever else you'd like consider it a small payment for a small set of Digi's...

New Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge #3...Red, White & Black

It's time for another Doodle Design Studio Blog challenge! Pick any digi from Dustin and design it with only red, white or black. Challenge ends Sunday, February 21st. Click over to the official Doodle Design Studio blog for more details.

Here's my "Hello" card for the challenge. I used Dustin's cute freebie from January 28th, Cuttlebug heart squares embossing folder, Wild Cart Cricut cartridge for the hello font, Sentiments Cricut cartridge for the stamp, Martha Stewart heart edge punch, and diamond stickles on the crowns and her wings.

Be Gentle...with my heart

What is it about valentines that you just can't get enough or make enough? Here's my latest "Be Gentle...with my heart" card. I used the new Cuttlebug candy embossing folder (from the Romance bundle) and the Love Struck Cricut cartridge for the hearts.

You Did It!

I love Dustin's monkey (and all the other stuff he does!). I found the blue background card at Michael's for 20 cents...for a package of 8 with envelopes. You know I love a bargain! It's a little wild, but I think the monkey suits it great. I made a whole bunch of these to send to the Cards for Soldiers forum.

He's Dreamy!

Here's my spin on Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge #2 using DT Lelia's sketch challenge. It's for my dreamy husband!

Mardi Likes to Party

Oh dear...have you seen Dustin's new freebie this week? Go check it out. It's a MARDI GRAS dragon! I can't wait to play with it!

Update: This is Mardi. He likes to party!

Love U!

If you haven't picked up Dustin Pike's new freebie this week, go get it! Isn't he the cutest elephant you've ever seen? I couldn't sleep because I knew he was waiting for me! It was a date for Mr. Elephant and me this morning. He's sitting in a purple puddle of love.

Puppy Love

Dustin Pike's first Blog Challenge for 2010 is to create a Love/Valentine's card using any image(s) of his. Here's my card which I used my Cricut for the lettering (love my Cricut) and MS heart edge punch. Happy Valentine's Day!
