English Bulldog Pre-colored Digi Stamp and My Card

Hi Everyone!

If you have visited my blog before, you have probably seen the picture of my fur-baby Zoey in my right sidebar.
I drew an image last year of her and fully intended to use it for my 2010 family Christmas cards. At the time, I had not discovered how much fun it is to color on my computer so I would have had to hand color each and every image. I have lots of friends and family and that would have taken f-o-r-e-v-e-r!
I love love love to color by hand but sometimes a girl just needs a quicker fix! :)
I decided to color her up this year so I could print them out and make my Christmas cards much quicker!
I know there are lots of Bully lovers out there so I thought I would offer my "Christmas Zoey" digi stamp on my blog. Do you have a bulldog yourself? Do you just love bulldogs or have friends or family that have bulldogs? Perhaps your school mascot is a bulldog. :)
This would be a great image for you!
You can make your cards as simple or as detailed as you would like. I included a line art version too in case you want to color your own with whatever special markings you want. ;)

Here is a card I created with the pre-colored version.


The papers are Brilliant WhiteIntense Kiwi, and a gold from the Precious Metals variety pack all from Discount Card Stock.
I embossed the green with a Cuttlebug Swirls folder the used Ranger Ink products to add the gold. See the product links below.
The beautiful Sheer Ruffled Edge Old Gold ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This is what the set looks like.

Even My Dog Loves Really Reasonable Ribbon! :)


 Hi Everyone!
I just had to share these pictures with you! :)
Our niece Emily plays for her high school fast pitch team the "Golden Tornadoes", and last night, they played their arch rivals the "Independence Bulldogs". Well... we thought our fur baby Zoey should come and help support the team against the Bulldogs, so I had a "Go Nado" shirt made for her. Of course I had to do some alterations. :D
I also made her a pretty little bow for her head out of the Purple Glitz and Lavender Organza Dots ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This is Emily.


GO NADO!!!!  :)


Thanks for dropping by! Hope ya got a chuckle!

Hugs,
True :D

Time for The March Digi Releases @ Clear Dollar Stamps!

Hi again everyone!
This is my second post of the day so I hope you will scroll on down after you've read this post to see what else I have been up to. ;)

Today is digi release day @ Clear Dollar Stamps and I have 2 projects to show you.
The first was done with my "Sentimental Puppy" illustration. This is not the project I had planned on showing for this image. When I checked out Split Coast Stampers this morning they had a pretty color combo challenge going on today so I ran to my studio, whipped this card up, got photos done and changed my post. I will show the original project next week. :)


The digi set is available now for instant download @ Clear Dollar Stamps for just $2.50

The next project is a card set created with Laurie Wilson's ~ "Yummy Cupcakes" digi.
It comes in black and white with colored images too.

 I used  the pre-colored green frosting cupcake for my card set.


The ribbon on these cards is also from Really Reasonable Ribbon and is from their March Ribbon of the Month Club set

I hope you will head on over to Clearly iStamp blog ad check out the links to the other girl's digi release posts.

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs,
True :D

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

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

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

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
