Sampson!!

He's here!!! Meet Sampson, aka Sammy :0

He arrived last Thursday evening and is settling in so well!! He's an 11 week old Airedale and I keep forgetting that although he is almost the same size as Bosley (my mini Schnauzer), he's still just a baby. And my what big feet he has, and sharp teeth!!!

New Challenge

There's a new challenge in town!! Dat's Designing Diva's  and this is their 2nd Challenge - Masculine Cards which I am entering this card into.  I used Stamping Bella's Grillafella.

This card was actually inspired by one of the Diva's, The Happy Yappy Scrapper.  A couple years ago we made this birthday card at one of her card classes and I used it for hubby's birthday then.  I decided to create my own for hubby's birthday this year keeping with the same theme.

 

I think both of these fella images suit hubby to a tee!!  I love the flip flops :)

Thank You - Woof!

Hi there - I'm sharing a card I made this week for my puppy's breeder. He'll be coming home on the May 4th weekend and I made this for her. She's been so good and patient with all my questions, emails and calls - and I'm sure it's only the beginning!! I don't even have him yet!!! Can't wait to show you a picture, his name is Sampson, Sammy for short and he'll be 10 weeks old when he comes home. He's getting a ride here from Winnipeg with a handler who is coming up that weekend for a show and I absolutely can't wait for him to get here!! It's been a long wait, since last summer when I first contacted the breeder. He's an airedale by the way and I tried to make the dog in the center look like an airedale by adding a few scruffy hairs and a dark patch to his chest :)

I'm entering this in Paper Sundae's Challenge #116 - Anything Goes.

Happy Birthday redo

Hi there - really quick post, just wanted to share a birthday card I made for my mother in law.  I made this card a while back so I ended up swapping the sentiment in the centre for the same design, with Happy Birthday instead from the Vintage Labels set.

 

Everything used was Stampin Up except for the glitter glass.

Birthday Surprises

Hi - I'm actually very pleased with my card :) After attending a card class yesterday at my local scrapbook store and making 6 cards, I came home and whipped this up last evening. It's for my daughter's half sister who turned 7. I think I found my Mojo, which has been missing lately. It helps though that my spare room, now my craft room is coming together and mine again. It had been the junk room during our renovations. I've finally got the bed out of there, have my new shelves set up, and actually unpacked my Christmas present, a Cricut Expression!! Time is of the essence now, as this is also going to be where my new puppy's crate is going to be kept. I'm waiting for an Airedale puppy! There is one female who is a month old but I'm not sure I'm getting her yet as she's being evaluated for show prospects. If not, there is another litter due in April which would come home in June. So, fingers crossed I get this female, but if not, I can wait a couple more months. I've only been waiting a year so far ;)

So, back to my card, this is Sugarplums Cookie Emma from CC Designs. I used Basic Grey's Olivia paper, the sticky ribbon and flower are from the same set. There is just a wee bit of Star Dust stickles on her ribbons and lace. I was super excited to finally use my CC Designs cutter and stamp set called Tags It for the birthday sentiment. I want more of those!!!

I'm entering this card over at All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes.
