What's great about your State or Country?

I've received multiple inquiries about doing more United States image sets, other than Texas, as well as countries.
Soooo, I'm starting a image series of the 50 United States, and I'll begin to think about adding some of the more visited countries, and I NEED YOUR HELP!

Anyway, 1 state down, and 49 left to go!  (When it comes to Texas, I just can't help myself!)  As far as Countries, I think I'd like to start with Canada and western Europe countries.

My plan:

• to make one set for each of the remaining 49 United States by winter 2014
• to begin creating for countries, but there is no plan to ever finish them all, or to even release a certain amount per month

These image sets will follow the guidelines below:

• have a simplistic style for easy hand coloring
• include an outline of the state/country
• include the name of the state/country
• include 1-3 sentiments/sayings
• include color images
• include 2 or 3 coordinating digital papers
• And finally, I will try to incorporate 2 items of interest that pertain to the state/country, whether that be a flower, animal, other item, or significant event/monument

So PLEASE tell me! (by email not a post comment)

• What's great about your state/country?
• What makes it special?  The state bird or flower?
• Or is there a favorite visitation/traveling spot?
• What things about your home state/country are residents proud of?
• Is there a favorite phrase or saying or special way to say something?
• Remember to think about the state as a whole and not your major city.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR IDEA:
(replying to this post is not a guarantee it will be saved for review)
If you would like to submit an idea for a digital product set for your home state/country, PLEASE send an email with the information about your state/country that you think is significant.  Send email directly to laurie at doodlepantry dot com.   Very important: Put in the subject line: 50 STATE/COUNTRY IDEA - (and then type your state/country).  Putting a subject line like that will ensure it gets filed properly so that I read it.

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit today and I hope you have some ideas to share about your state/country so that I can create something special for everyone. May you be blessed and bless others with your craftiness!

A few new products and a sale

Good morning!  March flew by fast, didn't it?  We had Spring break where I couldn't work on anything with 2 busy kiddo's running around keeping me on my toes. And then for the Easter weekend, we went to the in-laws where there is no internet for me to plug into.  And then I had a week squeezed inbetween where I had a minor gall episode and couldn't concentrate on anything.
I'm glad things are beginning to get back to normal!

SALE!  April 5th-7th
First I want to mention we have a spring sale of 30% off your cart total, with a $6 purchase minimum before the coupon can be applied.
Very important: WE HAVE A NEW COUPON SYSTEM, and you must be logged into your account first, to be able to apply the coupons.
HOW TO REDEEM:  Make sure there is at least $6.00 worth of products in your cart first

1. Login to shop or register
2. View cart and scroll to bottom of cart
3. Enter coupon APRILSHOWERS in the coupon field and CLICK SUBMIT to see the discount get applied
4. Continue your checkout and pay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's what is new today!!

(6 more products will be released on April 16th)

BERRY NICE MICE- this is the featured set for playing our Challenge #33 which posts at noon eastern time.  Just create something using a Doodle Pantry IMAGE (not just sentiment) and post it and link up to the challenge linky and then every few days I will email all participants these cuties!

FLIP FLOPS - from April 5-24 this is the FREE with any purchase!  Just add to your cart of other purchases and it will be free and download included after payment!

OLD TRUNK - A cool old trunk for masculine or vintagey creations.

TEXAS DOGWOOD - It's spring and in the woods of east Texas, these white dogwood trees sprout up under the shade of the pine trees.  They look so pretty adding tons of little white spots along the edge of the woods as driving the country roads.
Can easily be colored light pink to create any dogwood flower.

WATERMELON ANTS - I saw the cutest lawn ornament stake of a big ant eating a large watermelon slice. So cute and gave me this idea of all the ants feasting on these juicy watermelon. And in the south, you have to have a salt shaker handy....

This set can be "earned" by participating in the CDAC 1-2-3 Challenge for Apr-June 2013 if that interests you!

Pears & Raspberries COLOR - With summer quickly approaching, I had to color the Pears & Raspberries set that I released a couple years ago.

Since I was so swamped in getting new products ready for this release, I will be releasing 6 more products on APRIL 16th!!

I hope you are inspired to create and have a blessed wonderful weekend!

Dutch Dare Card Challenge Sponsorship

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Dutch Dare Card Challenges and their theme is Birthday Fun! We have two cards today with the first one from Donna using Dolphins

and I (Dawn) used Float yer Goat

I hope we've inspired you to create a card and try the challenge. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can enter our challenge which starts tomorrow April 5th at noon! I hope you have a great crafty day!

Update on our April releases

Yes, it's true and no fooling, our next release is April 5th, this coming Friday. And then we will have another release mid-month.   This is not a permanent change.  I had to postpone our release a few days, and split up into 2 release days, due to an overwhelming March in my household.

So here's how it will play out this month:

April 5th - 6 new releases will post at 6 am eastern (one of these is featured for playing DPDC33, and one of them is free w/purchase)
April 5th - 3 day sale announced
April 5th - Our next challenge #33 will post at noon eastern
April 16th - 6 more new releases will post at 6 am eastern
April 5th thru 24th - our challenge #33 entry period
April 25th - winners to challenge #33 posts in mid morning sometime
May 1st - next new release at 6 am eastern and challenge #34 at noon eastern

Thank you for visiting today, and hope you'll check back on the 5th!    Don't forget we are sponsoring Aud Sentiments Challenge this week too (see blog post before this one)!
