Hi Doodles Followers!
Happy April everyone--can you believe we're a quarter of the way through the year already?! April is not only the month that brings us April showers for our May flowers, it also brings you a lot of great new stuff at Oodles of Doodles News! I'm talkin' info on classes available out there, news about workshops, pattern finds, an assortment of projects, freebie DZ Doodles Digi images, and more!
The boss, Chloe (our nearly two year old four-legger) runs the whole DZ Designs operation as she sits on my drawing table to keep an eye on what I am doing. I was finally able to get a photo of Chloe because she always seems to become camera-shy when I pull out the camera and I seldom get a sweet photo like this one.

LaBlanche Stamps are made from sturdy high quality silicone and withstand things, like heat, that other stamps might not. The owner of LaBlanche shares a cool UTEE video technique on Scrap Time for pouring UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Powder) over their stamp blocks to make amazing glossy embellishments. So cool, or should I say ... so UTEE!

This finished quilt that started in a Jean Wells' workshop Intuitive Color and Design 2 by maker, Terri, and called her Greece project said it didn't turn out as she planned ... I'd say it turned out amazing! Stitchin' Post In Sisters. For me it's 'inspiration' for all those paper scraps I've accummulate from making other craft projects and haven't the heart to just toss them out. I'm thinking of 12" x 12" sheets created by pasting leftovers in a jumbled pattern to reuse in other projects.
