Doodle Pantry Release!

Good morning friends! Finally, I get to post something crafty and it is new release time from Doodle Pantry! As in previous months there are so many super cute sets being released. Go check them all out HERE! First up....
The pictures above and below are the outside and inside of my card made with Quirky Crab and one of its sentiments. I so adore this fun summer image and colors. *This is the pre-colored image.* The patterned papers are from Echo Park's Splash paper pad. I also used Carly's sketch for this card!
Below you see a card made with the Peppermint set. While I went with somewhat of a Christmas color combination I chose a more neutral sentiment thinking it would be refreshing to send out at anytime. The patterned papers you see on this card come with the Minty Paper Pack. Fun stuff I'm tellin' ya!
Now for the cool stuff...the sale! All school themed images are 40% off and the Digi Grab Bag is 50% off! PLUS, don't forget about the free with purchase set! One more thing...check out the blog HERE to see the newest challenge and win yourself some free Doodle Pantry images!

Alright y'all...enjoy the release, have a wonderful weekend, and see ya Monday! Oh, and thank you so much for your kind comments for healing on my ankle. It is not as locally swollen today but my entire foot and ankle is still swollen and now very black and blue. I can, however, walk fairly well on it as long as I don't over extend up or down or side to side. Just some limitations for now. I'm trying to enjoy the time of slow down that the Lord has given me...he orders my steps for sure!

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21

A Cankle

Good morning! Sorry I haven't posted this week...it has been an interesting week so far!

If you can't tell from the photo I am showing you my nicely swollen left outside ankle. Yes, I have a tattoo, no I don't regret it, yes I would like another. I was doing my step-aerobics DVD on Monday and stepped off the side wrong twisting my ankle. Todd and a couple of friends thought that I should have it x-rayed so I did and...it is not broken. I went home with an air cast to keep my ankle from rolling (I'll wear this for a week or so) and crutches that I only needed to use Monday and yesterday. Today I'll start putting Arnica on it (don't know why I didn't do that on Monday!). It doesn't look super bruised in the photo but I just noticed bruising this morning.

Since I've had my ankle up for the last two days I haven't created much and what I have are design team commitments. Today is a busy day and tomorrow is Care Net BUT Friday is new release day for Doodle Pantry and I have two super fun cards to show you for that! Next week I will start my week off on Tuesday (if I don't post something on Monday) with a Sweet Peak from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Then I will have two more Sweet Peaks for ya on Wednesday and Saturday too! So hang in there...don't leave me yet, this is just a bump in the road!

I hope your week has been a good one so far! See ya soon!
