~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The challenge over on Our Creative Corner was to use snowmen or snowflakes well i LOVE snowmen and these new "Whiffies" from the last release are just DEE-vine! Katherina issued a guest DT call - there is a new one every 2 months - along with this sketch->
so my card is working a double today!

so i gave it a whirl with this little cutie:

close up:
the image is colored with copics and accented with LOTS of spica pen BUT i could not get the glitter to show well today...maybe tomorrow i will try again! the *snow drifts* are two cuttlebug embossed layers (not my idea *waves to heather* you can see the original here) - one of them i inked the folder so the color is on the background and the other one i inked the raised portion.

both the light blue base and the dark blue layer are covered in snowflakes stamped with frost versadazzle. leaves a nice watermark with a bit of shimmer. finished off with ribbon, buttons and stickles!

so what do y'all think?????

amazing....

look what i was just awarded!!! this comes from my friend and fellow sassy girl susan!
i am so truly grateful for EVERYONE who comes and reads my blog each day and i especially love the comments!

ahhh some playtime in the studio! first up - got a chance to play Taylor's friday cupcake challenge. here is the sketch ->
you don't have to use a cupcake but if you got'em, use 'em - and of course i LOVE using mine!!

So here is my little card:

the cuppie is colored with copics and has stickles "icing" and spica silver accents. the "cherry" on top is pewter liquid pearls. the snowflake paper is really shimmery along with the glittery ribbon but no luck capturing it today :(

i hope everyone had a FABULOUS thanksgiving and ate themselves silly! now to find time to decorate for christmas.....

DRUMROLL PUH-LEAZE..........

i have TWO big announcements for you today!!

First and most important I want to introduce the second member of my design team!! Christine (Stampynwife) and i have been friends for about a year now and i am SO happy we RAN INTO each other over on the cricut board and started hanging out. not only is she very talented and imaginative she is also one of the SWEETEST people i have ever met! so be sure to keep an eye on her blog for stuff from Pez-A-Doodle from now on.

And in case you are wondering why I have added her now - YES it is in preparation for big things to come but that will take a bit longer to put together!! i will most likely be adding one more too in the near future........

Second, in honor of Christine agreeing to the DT position (oh yea and the thanksgiving shopping tradition) I am having a SALE on some very popular holiday goodies! JUST for you faithful blog readers - these prices are not available on the regular website but via a hidden URL:

http://www.pezadoodle.com/HiddenSale.html

be sure to check out both page one AND page two!! these sale prices will be good for one week and then the hidden pages will come back down - so happy shopping folks!

i will now begin the cooking marathon and hope to be back in my studio tomorrow once dinner is over so i can play with some new pink cat studios that just came in!

stay tuned.......

hi all - no projects to post today but i will have big news up for you tomorrow.....after all we all know the best part of thanksgiving............sale shopping!!!!!

in addition an exciting announcement in preparation for something big happening in the studio.........be sure to tune in!!

showing some love to my pinkies....

**edited to add**
COMPLETELY forgot to add an important tidbit to this post - the bag is done for the FIRST pink cat challenge over on the Planet - paper craft planet that is. have you been?? go check it out - a superb new place for hanging out!!

for today's gift set i pulled out some pink cat studio stamps - they have been a bit neglected for awhile now which is so sad because they are simply adorable - some of my faves as i have said before. in fact a few new ones will be here soon :) so i settled on this cute little shopper and a little birdie friend. i usually color the birds all yellow so i decided in honor of christmas i would try something new and made these cute little red birds! the little circle patterned paper is also a pink cat stamp from a background set. i stamped with versamark, used distress embossing powder in peeled paint and shabby shutters and then rubbed with distress inks in tattered rose, worn lipstick and shabby shutters with the foam blending tool - an absolute must have!! accented with ruby slippers glitz stickles. all of these items are available on the website.
images are colored with copics:




next up some little gift card holders again - this time with my very first BUT UN-INKED Bella stamp! i got her as a xmas gift so it was too late to use her last year. she was super easy to color and oh so cute! both are accented with glitter pans and the boots are covered with my clear sakura glaze pen so they are shiny.
las gift card holder is a simpler cuttlebug embossed image using a piece of glossy cardstock covered in alcohol inks:

anyone else get their sign up done for CHA classes???? i never did get it to work and then after about 40 minutes it went completely off line - BUMMER i so want to get in to T!m's class!!!!
