Digi Doodles Showing Off the Annimals

This past weekend I worked at my local scrapbook store "Aww Shucks".   The owner went to a show in Atlanta, Georgia and asked me to man the shop for her.  While there I colored this image and then "shopped" in the store for the perfect paper to go with it.  I found this luscious geese paper from The Paper Lofts  Huckleberry Pond collection.  The blue  paper was from the Americana section.  Unfortunately I cut the name off and so I can't tell you who made it.  The bad part was that I bought the last piece and I wanted more for my stash.  I have to tell you that it was a great feeling to be able to choose the DP from anything in the store.  I usually have to go shopping to look for a particular paper, get sidetracked and come home with everything but the DP I went for.

The image is called Mallard Ducks and is from the Digi Doodle Shop.  They have some really awesome animal stamps in the shop.  In fact be sure and check out the new additions to the shop.  You might even find a precious little turtle.  Why not join us for our animal challenge this week.  You don't have to use a Digi Doodle Shop digi, to enter, but to win big, you have to use the image.  Go on click here and check it out for yourself.  My ever talented DT sistahs have outdone themselves this week so be sure to check them out too.

Hope to see you over there this week!  Have a fab weekend.  I will.  We are giving my Mom an 85th birthday party Saturday.  My little brother and niece and coming down from Virginia for the celebration and my sweet daughter is making one of her "oh-so-spectacular" Birthday Cakes.  Maybe I'll have some pics to post next week!  Whatever you do this weekend, make the most of it.  You won't get another for 5 long days.  LOL

Hugs, Linda
