Hello Friends, It’s me again. I spent wayyyy to much time in the kitchen today and what I call “managing the fridge”! Finally I found a little time to color.
These lovely bears from Mama Elephant are the most expressive stamps I have ever seen. There is just something really special about these bears and the way they are connecting with each other that makes them stand out. (click here to see the matching die cuts) Finally I was able to ink them up and I hope to color them again but, with more time. There’s all kinds of fun elements in the stamp set to create a sweet little scene. Speaking of Mama Elephant stamps have you seen this “Photo Bomb” set? It’s such a brilliant design and I just can’t get over how creative it is. Anyway for my background I used Simon Says stamp grid stencil with some distress ink. I was in luck that my “old” talk bubbles fit the sentiment perfectly!
Below is the Flipagram for my doodle card from yesterday thanks for all of your sweet comments!!

I used to doodle all the time through my school days and then meetings during my working days. Now I am retired and haven’t doodled in years. You inspired me to start again and combined with my favorite pastime of coloring (more accurate to say learning how to use Copics) I am looking forward to many relaxing hours of colorful doodling!!

Actually really love the flip gram. Very interesting. You come up with some cool designs. Are these in your head before you start or do they appear as you go along? Very lovely either way….!

Hi Kathy, Such a cute card, Love those bears. Really enjoy watching the flipagram, that is so cool, what will they think of next!!
Sheri K says
This is so cute! Hoping your hubby is progressing, and wishing him full ROM soon! I have finally recovered from the flu but still have out of state spring break tourists in da house! My intentions are good, but haven’t had the energy to color, too busy recovering and being a good hostess. I still have stuff to take photo’s of before I got the “sickness”. But I shall get back to it and thanks for inspiring us Kathy!
Kathy Racoosin says
Your priorities are in the right place Sheri. Jump in when you can 🙂
Rufus says
Those bears are just the cutest things! They would make perfect OWH cards! That set is def. going on the “need” list. Thanks for the flipogram, you make it look easy, when I “doodle” all I end up with is a hot mess. I threw my darn back out so haven’t been coloring for a couple of days, but it’s better enough that I can get back to it tomorrow, yay! Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement.
Kathy Racoosin says
sorry about your back Rufus 🙁 Glad to hear it’s on the mend. Hugs
Tracy Brown says

This card is so adorable and love those bears. I have ordered the photo bomb set and can’t wait for them to come in so I can use them. Jennifer used them in one of her cards during this class (that I’m so far behind in lol), the set is awesome. Thanks again Kathy.
