Happy Sunday!

 

I have just returned from my agility road trip.  We had a blast!  Tonight's card is one I made for one of the donors to the rescue with which I volunteer.

 

 

That's it for tonight.  Way too tired to do anything else!

Doggoneit!

Happy Saturday!

Since I am spending the weekend with my friend Kathy, her 2 dogs, and my furbaby, Geena Bea, at an agility trial in Mississippi {leaving DH to be nursemaid to our sick, but improving Schmitzy, while entertaining the other 2}, I thought it would be appropriate to post a doggie card.

 

I have a birthday card for those occasions that slip our minds - the belated card!

 

 

I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background, SU! dp for the fishtail (MFT) and image mount and stamps from Repeat Impressions (dog) and Rosie's Roadshow (sentiment).   I colored the happy little guy with Copics.

 

The sketch is from the challenge at The House That Stamps Built.

 

I am also entering the following challenge:

A Gift for You

Talk about easy peasy, I made some quick gift tags today using a stamp set from JustRite and the coordinating die.  I used Versafine Satin Red and Olympia Green and tied gold elastic to the top. 

 

 

I am entering this in the "pretty packaging" challenge at The Pink Elephant.

 

Now it is time to finish packing and hit the road to Mississippi.  More on that tomorrow!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

It's Christmastime again!

 



 

I used the sketch over at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards and the color challenge from Sunday Stamps.  The snowflake die is from The Cat's Pajamas, the round snowflake was punched out and the sentiment (2008 Papertrey) is on a Memory Box die cut.  The corner snowflakes are the punchouts from the big snowflake.  Cardstock is SU! and I added Swarovski crystals for bling.

Knit happens

Quick post tonight.

I have a card for the challenge at MFT.

 

I used Authentique Journey dp, DCWV cs, and the image is from MFT, colored with Copics and Spicas, with Liquid Applique added to the cap.  I paper-pieced the ball of yarn using Wausau Pearlescent paper.

 

I am also entering the following challenges:

Merry Winter

Well, we didn't get very good news about Schmitzy today.  If he doesn't improve, he will have exploratory surgery next Monday.   He's lost 4.5 pounds in the last week and a half, which is almost 15% of his body weight.  We decided to try the meds for another week before surgery, unless he takes a drastic downturn before then.  Poor guy :(.

 

Tonight I have yet another Christmas card!

 

 

This one is based on the Whizz Bang challenge over at Without Words, a CAS challenge blog.  I used an image from Sassy Cheryl's Digis.  It is colored with Copics and Spicas and cut out with a nestie.  DP is old stuff from my stash.

 

Short and sweet tonight.

Thanks for stopping by.

Do the Math

I've got a sick puppy dog.  Schmitzy, who we adopted after he was found wandering the streets this summer, has been throwing up for the better part of 10 days.  We thought he was getting better with the meds the vet gave him and the IV fluids he received, but when we ran out of anti-nausea medicine, the vomiting commenced.  So back to the vet tomorrow.  Needless to say, my cardmaking time has been limited.

 

I have a very masculine birthday card today. 

I've use Archaic dp from Basic Grey and DCWV cs. The sentiment is from River City Rubberworks and is cut out using a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die.  The sketch is from I {heart} to Stamp.

 

I am also entering the following challenges:

 

Here Come the Boys - birthday

Little Red Wagon - Boy oh boy

Paper Shelter - birthdays

 

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by!
