DZ Doodles Announce's Dizzy Designs Store, Cards, Gifts, Crafts, Patterns and More!

Hi Fellow Doodlers!

I've been working hard at burning the candle at both ends not to mention late night hours with numerous projects and ideas. One of them, still under construction so please excuse the mess, is my Dizzy Designs Store filled with my cards/digital images, gift-giving doohikeys', crochet items, finished crafts and craft patterns, color cosmetic/fragrance set's specials and a whole lot more with Buy Now buttons to make purchase's safely and securely through the PayPal process! I have a lot of plans for the store -- it's doing all the work in getting it all done that takes me away from crafting. But hope you'll pay me a visit there when you can.

When I placed my order, I didn't really think much about these two Shamrock Jewelry pieces from Avon ... but, after receiving my order I just "love them"! Wish I would of gotten more but made sure to sign up for the NOTIFY ME so I can get some more for next year card insert's to give family and friend's when they come back-in-stock. They are so darling - I'm wearing mine and feelin' all "lucky" now! :0)

Get your "green" on - it's nearly St. Patty's time! Here's one yummy St. Pat's Day Baking Idea - Green Velvet Whoopie Pies from, Love From The Oven with all the details to bake some up!

I just got my 1st chuckle-of-the-day browsing the internet this morning while enjoying my first cup of coffee when I came across this Ravenous Rabbit Cupcakes photo by Beth at Hunry Happenings ... "of course!" I had to print out her tutorial. Recipes and where to find products used also included.

Noteable Nest's adorable 3D Floral Bouquet card is created by stamping bothe sides of a die cut element. For Kelly Griglone's simple details go HERE.

Not so fast, here's another use for those "heart" cookie cutters you used for Valentine's Day! Rice Krispie treats are some of the easiest things to make, and a treat everyone loves to eat. These shamrock Rice Krispie will be a hit at your house, the office, get-together, for a friend, etc., on St. Patrick's Day! Embellish has the details HERE.

Aha! How cute are these for serving up at Easter?!

These Bird Nest Cupcakes at Paints and Pans will tell you just how easy they are to make up!

Spring inspired cake pops ... Easter is only a few weeks away. "Cake Pops" are basically ground up cake pieces that are mixed with lots of yummy frosting then dipped into chocolate and formed into various fascinating designs like these at Strawberry Chic; photo packed How-To of her editable Spring Flowers!

An amazing book design by Larissa at Crate Paper! This oh-so-cute doll house made of card stock papers, cut outs and an assortment of embellishments, which could easily be embellished using stamp images too, folds neatly into a book. The basic book making instructions can be found HERE! And one you'll definitely want to print out for reference -- only print pages numbered 1 through 9.

Unless someone like you

cares a whole awful lot,

nothing is going to

get better, it's not.

Ali Bee's Bake Shop is cookie decorating brilliance (seriously, brilliant, just spend 30 seconds browsing around her site). The photo is just a tiny snippet of what you will find HERE.

We all may not be in the same boat...

DZ Doodles March to April: St. Pat's to Easter and Avon's Give-A-Way Chance To Win Product!

Hi Fellow Doodlers!

It's becoming that time of year when Spring tries to arrive while wintertime hangs in there every now and again! One day you're wearing winter gear, next few days you're wondering about spring colors and dusting off those sandals in preparation for the days and month's to come. Back and forth we go! March arrives with just one nationally known holiday, St. Patrick's Day. But of course there's some that aren't as recognized throughout the month, such as March 1st - SHARE A SMILE DAY.

• 6th - Dentist Day
• 11th - is the day to Spring ahead in time once again!
• 20th - is the First Day of Spring!
• 26th - is Make Your Own Holiday.
• and the 30th is Doctor's Day.

APRIL 8th is EASTER SUNDAY

I'm just loving Studio Girls Scrapbook Graphics Rebecca McMeen's design kit of ERITHEA! I chose this particular kit of Rebecca's because Erithea is "determined to start living life the way she's always dreamed of ..." and asks, "She's ready. Are you?" The Kit is my colors, my thinking, and my sentiments as well! And I want something unusually different to digitally scrapbook with and challenge my imagination! And you may too.

"OMG!" When I first happened upon ODD FAE and AUTUMN THINGS the first thing I viewed was Dawn Schiller's "Chonoseidh."  I cracked up at this wonderful sense of humor while relating to this fellow's feelings of "time" and just had to show you this awesome work-of-art. I think at 60-ish this year I'm going through some-type of crafting-change-of-life with feelings of reverting back to the many other crafts, besides my cardmaking, from early adulthood that I've set aside far too long. I need to get this longed-for-sense-of-humor back into my life by playing with polymer clay once again and creating with it too! I grew up on Play Dough and bread dough crafts :0)

"Oh so many ideas and so little time!" Hambly Screen Prints has the DT Tutorial by Maisa to inspire and help you to re-create your own version of this adorable photo framing project -- great addition to any home decor or for a gift that keeps on giving -- Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th!

HAMBLY MONTHLY SKETCH BLOG - Card or Layout!

Craft Gossip's Beat John's has a great TUTORIAL at her Splitcoast Stampers showing you how-to-color with pastel pencils on black (dark) cardstock!

Make~Grow~Gather  by Kelly Wilkinson gives you a quick and simple-easy Tutorial in creating stamps, using adhesive backed foam sheets -- how inexpensive is that?! It isn't a stamp technique that will replace the crispness of hand-carved-rubber, rubber or acrylic stamps, but it's fast and easy! I'm thinking STEAMPUNK projects for these types of stamps!

Ideas to Inspire's Easter Basket tutorial will guide you step-by-step to re-creating this adorable rectangle basket project!

There's more to come ...
