DZ Doodles DT Post

Hello fellow bloggers!  I've missed you so much.  I went straight from having a kidney infection to Thanksgiving, then my dog got hit by a car and now I have walking pneumonia.  I ask you, can it get any worse???  I'm really trying to keep a smile on and get in the christmas spirit but it's a tad bit hard at the moment.  I strive to not be a complainer but I'm tellin ya, we need some health and holiday spirits over here!  Come on carolers........LOL

I have for you today my very first post for DZ Doodles as a DT member.  Rosalien made a fantastic sketch for us to use.  The image is free for a limited time over at our PCP site.  This time you are free to use any DZDoodles stamp, but you have to use the sketch.  You have untill Wednesday December 22 to enter the Challenge. Just post your card in the comment section below in this post. The winner will receive 1 image of DZDoodles of their choice.

We will announce the winner on Thursday Dec. 23. :)

I used Diane's "Gingerbread Pair" you can purchase here. Aren't they adorable.  I thought they'd be cute on a gift of homemade goodies too.  I had the perfect paper pad by Martha Stewart - Frosty Gingerbread to go with it too.  I also used another new product I got from a friend called Diamond Dust by Twinklets.  It's a chunky glitter and added a neat texture to the candies.  Maybe a little too chunky for this but it's really cool.  I also added some stickles and lots of gems for that extra bling!

Please bear with me as I learn the ins and outs of my new DT position and where everything is posted.  DZ Doodles is also active over at PCP, hop over and have a look!

*****Update*****Yep, got worse, car broke down and have to replace the fuel pump.  Ouch, not a cheap part!  Grrrrrrr

Have a "witchin" Halloween

Hi everybody.  A quick post before I head off to bed.  I had a wonderful weekend with my family.  My son's girlfriend joined us for a day of movies and fun.  She was gone for a week at the National FFA convention.  You know FFA in Washington state was something you didn't tell people you  were part of.  But here in the South it's completely different.  The kids are proud to be a part of it.  And your not cool if you aren't a member.  Weird how that works.  My son is a member too, just not an officer.  It will definitely help him when he starts college next year!

Anyway, on to my card.  I used Michelle Perkett's image "Happy Halloween Witch".  Isn't she cute?  I colored her in orange and greens.  She has a bunch of sparkle from my gel pens but it didn't show up very well in this picture.  I followed the sketch at Friday Sketchers.  The papers are from Echo Park.  I got this pack for like $3 from My Sheri Crafts.  It was just 1/4 of each page in a pack.  Let me tell you I have made SEVERAL cards with this pack and still enough paper for several more.  What a great idea to get to try out different designer papers at a fraction of the cost for whole sheets.  Uh oh, I'm supposed to be off already.  I guess I'm not very good at short postings!

Sweet Dreams or daily snoozes, depending on your time zone!
