Digital Doodles Tuesday!

It's Tuesday and that usually means a brand new Digital Doodles stamp is released at Two Peas in a Bucket. This week, however, there will not be a new stamp as the one that was supposed to be released 'Darling Duds' went on sale last week, a week early. So, a couple of the design team gals and I decided to make some projects using any of the Digital Doodles stamps and here's what we came up with.

Good Day Monday!

Hey there bloggers! Hope you are having a terrific day! :)

I have a few cards to share with you! :) And as I have the three of them before me I can't help but notice how different each of them are from the other! A real mix of styles!

This first card is a hybrid design using a new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Poised the Elements' by Vinnie Pearce.


I can't believe how real this flower looks! It's just printed on a piece of paper, however. I simply cut it out, inked the edges a bit and attached it to the card with a pop dot! The printed navy blue frame on the sheet music is also from the kit which is loaded with beautiful accents!

This next card is also made from a digital kit, 'Wild Thing the Elements' by Jen Martakis.


This little monkey and his animal friends were too darling to pass up! I just had to have this kit. Perfect for my son's field trip to the zoo this Friday along with an occasional card like this one.

My third card is a 2 Sketches 4 You design! Yep, it's Monday and Kazan has a terrific sketch and sponsor!



Here's my card and the sketch. The sponsor for the week is Bo Bunny Stickers. The focal point of my card is a sticker designed by my team mate at 2S4Y, Shanna Vineyard. You should see all the amazing sticker designs she creates for Bo Bunny!

Well, that's the latest! Hope you enjoyed my crafty shares and that you are inspired to get out some pretty paper and crafty goodies to get lost in some scrappy fun!

Aren't these projects fabulous! These gals really kicked it out of the ball park this week. And as my luck with have it, a second Digital Doodles stamp, 'Darling Duds' , was released this week ahead of schedule! Ooops! So many of the awesome Digital Doodles Design Team gals have scrambled over the past couple days to put together some projects in order to show off this stamp too.

Testing 123...Testing...

Thank you for your patience as I've worked through my technical difficulties! Well, I waited until my husband got home and straightened things out! :)

Anyway, I have so much to share with you that it's hard to know where to begin! I suppose I need to go back to Monday and post all the crafty goodies I planned on sharing with you. I have a couple hybrid cards made from digital kits exclusive to  Two Peas in a Bucket. This first card is made with a super adorable digital kit called 'Rain' by Wilna Furstenberg.


Wilna has only been designing with Two Peas for a couple of months, but she's a master and this kit is a must have! I used two papers, two elements and a sentiment from the kit. It's loaded with so much more so be sure and check it out. Also, I used a sketch for this card from Taylored Expresions where you can find a lot of fun and unique card sketches.

This next hybrid card is from another Two Peas talented designer, Jen Martakis. The digital kit I used for this card is called 'Celebrate Spring' and includes whimsical springtime accents and colorful papers!


Monday is also a 2 Sketches 4 You day so I have this latest card and sketch to show off.




I loved working with this week's sketch and our sponsor DeNami Designs! There's still plenty of time to visit to 2S4Y and play along. And if you've ever wanted to be considered for a design team position at 2S4Y, this is the time to play along because they are going to choose their next three design team members from the entries they receive! How cool is that?!?!

That's a wrap for this post. I will be back tomorrow to show off the latest Digital Doodles stamp projects and I'll announce a challenge for the Digital Doodles Club members! Yippee! It feels good to be back! Kathy :)

Two Peas in a Bucket + 2 Sketches 4 You = Monday

It's Monday...another fun day! Amazing how perky I get after a couple cups of coffee. And they were decaf! Go figure! :)

Well, it's that time again, time for me to show off the projects I made with the wonderful digital kits that arrived in the store at Two Peas in a Bucket. This first card is made from a kit that I absolutely HAD TO HAVE!

OH NO!!!!!! Blogger is still not working right! I can't download my pictures! Is anyone else having Blogger difficulties? Please let me know if it's Blogger or my great system. And wouldn't you know it....my personal Geek Squad fella is out of town until Wednesday evening! What's a girl to do?

I also mentioned that we would have a Digital Doodles Club challenge starting today with a Digital Doodles Guest design spot up for grabs. This will have to wait until I get these technical difficulties sorted out. At the very worst things should be back to normal on Thursday morning. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Kathy :)

The Winner Is......

Thank you club members and brand new club members for joining the Digital Doodles Club! The drawing for the Little Yellow Bicycle embellishments package goes to Arielle Gordon! Congratulations Arielle! I will e-mail you for your address.

I'm keeping this post short and sweet because Blogger seems to be acting up and will not let me link Arielle's blog or update the club page with new club member names. It's so frustrating to have the computer/technology act up, isn't it?

Anyway, congratulations Arielle! Monday I will be announcing how Digital Doodles Club members can win a guest design spot with Digital Doodles!

Kathy :)

Another Spring Garden Card

Hello! I had little crafty time today and wanted to make another card with the latest Digital Doodle stamp called 'Spring Garden.'
