Our Doodlebug Challenge

Hello Everyone! While going through my paper stash, I came across some old sheets of Doodlebug Patterned Paper--Bloomin' Bugs. I gave my girls and myself a challenge, to see how many cards we could each make using that sheet of patterned paper. Today I'll share my cards, tomorrow my daughters will share theirs!
