so lemme tell ya, when you see the colours and cuteness of Fruit Stand, i'm sure you'll understand why i nearly squealed when i was told that my first DT assignment was to work with DOODLEBUG goodies!  oh my HECKNESS, this stuff is CUTE!  my HUGE thanks to Doodlebug for sending such lovely things to create with and for sponsoring our hop!

for my projects, there was very little that came from my stash!  first, a bright
and summery card with a lil' pocket for a tag (lurrrve the stickers and the bling!):

 and the tag:

FYI - i LOVE Doodlebug's alphas.  LOVE THEM.  they have funky fonts that are right up
my alley! i must have 20 sheets of different fonts and colours (okay, sometimes i horde).  

next, something sweet for any occasion.  this one's a little simpler but i couldn't resist the stickers

from the Fruit Stand line and they took center stage here!  the banner stickers ROCK!

and last, but not least (this one's my fave!) - a gift box perfect for some summery sweetness!

that's Fruit Stand.  and i love it.  and you should see what the rest of the PI team on this hop have created!  share your FRUITY projects (use Doodlebug product if you have it, but it's not necessary!), and link up, and you could win one of TWO awesome prize packs from our lovely sponsor!  and don't forget to:
