Having a Ruff Day!

Hello friends!

I think it would put a smile on someone's face, don't you?

I stamped using the My Favorite Things "You Make My Tail Wag". I also used Hero Arts Ink,

I love this holiday!  Well, I love any holiday that I can make cards for my friends and family!

Christmas!

I spend the day making preparations for the holidays  - shopping, cleaning, wrapping, cleaning, preparing and my evenings in making cards. The tree is up, the gifts are wrapped and mailed, and the cards are made and sent. Here are the cards that were mailed......

Some are unique and some are variations on a theme. Some you can see the outside and the inside.  I love them all and they were each sent with lots of love. Some were hard to part with - that is funny! Oh Me!

I hope your holidays are filled with love!

Father's Day 2015

My husband has been camping lately.  He loves to sit back and just enjoy nature.  So here is the perfect stamp for him! We have two Dachshund sisters that we rescued last year. They came to us wearing purple and pink harnesses so we could tell them apart. I colored their stamped sweaters those colors. They came to us over weight so the rule was no human food. Guess who they know to be an easy mark for a treat?

So cute - Judy and Julie!!!

A Heart Bouquet

  

I had the perfect occasion to send someone a little pick-me-up.  This cute image does just that! The

I used American Crafts "Dear Lizzy" patterned paper and Copics to color it.

Playing along with My Favorite Stamps Shakers!

I am still playing with the  My Favorite Things Circle Scribble Flowers set.  I wanted to play along with MFT's Shaker Cards.  This was not as easy as I thought it would be. It was not as easy lining up the stamps with the die cut flowers. And I wanted to add the stamp with the flower outline as an afterthought. I tried white opaque Stazon on the  transparency but it was transparent not opaque. So I used Uni-Ball Signo white pen and it came out a little shakey. Oh well, it was fun putting it together!!!!

Bubble Talk

I love this little set, Bubble Talk, from WPlus9.  I used Distress Ink for the background.

This card will be linked to the WPlus 9 Throwback Thursday Challenge. I do not have an older set to use for this challenge!  I plan on this one being the first of many!

You Have My Heart Birthday

This little cutie is going to my friend, Joyce, who has a little red Dachshund!

Whoop! Whoop! Let's Hear It For the Guest Hopper!!!

I am so excited to have won the Unity {be inspired} Challenge! One of the prizes (besides a BOAT LOAD OF STAMPS) is a chance to be a Guest blog hopper! So here goes.....

The Hop starts here on Thursday 2.26 with the Unity Blog.

I have a few cards to share with you.

This is the "birdie conversation" set. I colored the birdie with Copics and used Distress ink for the background. The patterned paper is American crafts and I die cut it using Stitched Rectangles and Squares.

The stamp is Donna Downey "poppies". The sentiment is from "Everything Easter". I watercolored with Distress Ink for this card after heat embossing with white embossing powder.

This is the front of the card and below is the inside. I used "Love Brings You Home".

I used the "J{our}ney" stamp from the "Explore. Discover. Escape." stamp set.

The background stamp is a map of Rome from Hero Arts.  The frame and stamp is from Sizzix. This card is for a friend's engagement. She is a world traveler!

This is the "Welcome to the Hood" set. Thanks to Angeline Choo for the inspiration! When I saw her cute card I knew I had to have that stamp!

I used Unity sentiments for this card.

I used "#Hashtag Kit", "Elephant Behind", and a "Age is Only a Number". This is my husband's birthday card. We have two black and tan, long-haired dachshunds, hence the coloring of the dog. The image on the inside of the card (the back end of the dog) wiggles like it is wagging her tail! 

Thanks for being with me today. Thanks to Unity for always supporting their customers. They are the most giving company around!
