A Few Shots of Our Fur-babies

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

I just took some sweet pictures of out fur-babies Zoey and Katniss enjoying this beautiful Autumn day. 

I thought I would share. :)

I made an anti-bully bully poster of my favorite one. :) Please feel free to share or pin! :)

By the way, if you didn't see my post the other day, please scroll down for a look at the disaster that WAS my craft room. Then I would love it if you headed over to the CardMaker Magazine blog to see the "after" shots! 

Have a great weekend! :)

"Celebrate Cupcake!"- And a Video of My English Bulldog Chasing Deer

Tweet

Hi Everyone! 

I have a super quick card and a super quick post.

Today's Featured Stamper over @ Split Coast Stampers is Peggy McCurry.

She has an amazing gallery!

I decided to CASE one of her more simple cards.

Here is mine...

...and here is her card that I CASED.

Very seldom do I ever make a 1 layer card, but I have to admit, it was fun! It took less then 10 minutes too! :)

I used Discount Card Stock's Brilliant White, Really Reasonable Ribbon's Wild Rose Grosgrain ribbon, and  Inkadinkado's Happy Birthday Cupcake stamp set.

I thought I would also share a video of my fur baby Zoey chasing a deer. It's one of her favorite things to do this time of year!

Watch in the video when I'm asking her if she needs to potty. I knew she was wanting to chase deer because she wiggles her back feet when she's excited. ;)

She can run super fast for a few yards but she's a little fat girl, so she runs out of steam really fast. :)

Thanks for dropping by today!

Hugs,

True :D

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from my little pumpkin furbaby Zoey! :)

Have a SAFE and Happy Halloween!

A Layout With Basic Grey Products ~ "♥ Our Zoey"

Tweet

Hi Everyone! 

I saw the sketch on the Basic Grey blog the other day and just had to play along!

I used elements from the Indy Bloom and Picadilly Collections. I also used some Indy Bloom Accordion stickers.

Remember, you can click on the pictures for a closer look! :)

Here's the sketch we were asked to follow.

We just love our Zoey to pieces. The main picture is the look she has on her face 90% of the time. Her tongue is always hanging out! tehehehe!

The white background paper is Bazzill White Prismatic from Discount Card Stock.

The pretty ribbons are from the Glitz Assortment @ Really Reasonable Ribbon.

As a card artist, I know that layouts aren't my forte' but practice makes perfect right? :)

Please leave me a bit of love today! :)

Hugs,

True :D

Another Layout! Zoey is My Pretty in Pink Prima Baby! :)

Tweet

Hi Everyone!
Before I show you my project, I would like to remind you of a couple of things going on over at our Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog. For one, we have a fun challenge that started a couple of days ago, and we would love to have you play along with us. The theme is "Pink and Brown"...with ribbon of course!  ;)Also, don't forget to sign up for the awesome "Summer Blog Candy" that Bonnie has up for grabs! :)
OK...on to my layout...You know...I bet 99% of my projects have ribbon somewhere on them (I just LOVE the stuff) but...I don't always want a bow, so I will just sneak a dab in somewhere else.Look at my layout below and see if you can spot the ribbon right off the bat! :)

The pretty textured catdstock is White Groove from Discount Card Stock.

The designer paper is Prima's - "Sweet Fairy" stack. The flowers are also by Prima.

Did you spot the ribbon? I used a piece of pretty Rose Diamond Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon, as one of my "designer paper" strips. It adds a touch of extra texture and shimmer to the layout.

I thought I would also share the picture of my Zoe Babby before I "Photo Shopped" the chain out of the picture. I HATE chains but this photo was taken the first day we brought her home and our yard isn't fenced. We didn't want her taking off when we let her out to do her business. ;)
Anyhow...we no longer have to use the chain and I don't think she would ever think about running away. I think she loves us as much as we love her.
Photo Shop is a wonderful program! I just copied some of the grass and painted over the chain. I tell ya...the things we can do now a days!  ;)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

True :D

My Future-Daughter-in-love's Wedding Shower and a Blog Candy Winner!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would share a quick video of my son's fiancée Kristin's wedding shower that I had for her yesterday.

BTW...in the video, it sounds like I say "NOT the flowers" but I actually said "LOTS of flowers". That darn Kansas accent! :) I really did make them! :)

Hubby and I bought her the "party hat"/tiara so she would feel like a princess.

I also wanted to share a photo of my son Kurt and our fur-baby Zoey, chillin' after the party.

Zoey is so funny! She doesn't even look like a dog when she lays on her back like this. Her eyes and face just get covered up with wrinkles so much that she looks like some kind of unidentified creature. LOL!
She is actually a very beautiful 75lb. English Bulldog. :)

And now for the winner of my blog candy from the Creative Charms blog hop...

The winner is....Drum roll please.....

In Love With a Bug!

Please email me your snail mail addy and I will pop your goodies in the mail to you!

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment! They are soooo appreciated! I wish you could all win! :)

Well....that's it for today. Hope you all have a wonderful week full of family, friends, and crafting!!

Hugs,

My Hand-drawn English Bulldog Christmas Card ~ Week 2 as a GDT for the Paper Take Weekly challenge.

Tweet

Hello All!

This is week 2 to for my Guest Designer Spot over at Paper Take Weekly.

The Challenge this time is "Cut It Out!"

They want you to use die cuts, punches, fussy cutting, etc.

How easy is that!?!

For my card this week I didn't use a stamp. I drew a picture of my dog Zoey to use for some family card exchanges. Isn't she a sweet little thing?  ;)

I love using my original artwork instead of stamps. I just don't often have the time to do it.

The papers are from Bazzill and The Debbie Mumm Harvest and Holiday stack.

I used assorted Nestabilities and the holly was punched to qualify it for this weeks challenge sample.

The berries are white half pearls that I colored with a red Copic marker.

I did the sentiment on the computer with Adobe Illustrator.

Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope to see one of your creations over at PTW this week.

Come on....ya know ya want to!  ;)

Hugs,

True :D

Happy 4th of July from Zoey!

Tweet

Just thought I would drop in to wish all of my friends in blog land  a safe, happy, and healthy 4th of July!

I snapped this photo of my Zoey wearing her new patriotic bandanna and just had to share!

Isn't she the sweetest thing!?!

It's not just a face only a mother could love...right? ;)

Hugs to ya all!

True :D

No card today...just wanted to share a pic of our canine child. ;)

Tweet

Hello!

Hope the last day of your weekend is as restful as our Zoey's!

I just had to share a picture of her. She is a horrible snorer and her tongue is always hanging out but wee still think she is adorable when she's sleeping. 

We adopted her a couple of months ago and she became one of the family instantly!

She is a svelte 65 pounds of  snorts, snores, slobbers and most of all unconditional love!

Take care  and hugs your way!

True :D
