Puppy Smiles

One of my favorite designers made a card a couple of years ago that I just adored. When I saw this black and white pup, I knew I wanted to case Leslie's card.  I asked her and she said yes! You can see her card here.

And this is mine 

Okay so it isn't cow, but the black and white pup is cute too.  I tried to use her layout and colors, without using any of the same products.

I used Stamp On It # 3007 Dog with Garland digital stamp.  As you can see I swapped the garland for a bow, which I had in my Silhouette library.  I also cut the image with the Silhouette Cameo. I'm not so sure about the lady bug embellishment. It may be a little too big.

The sentiment is a Silhouette design.  This may be an New Years sentiment, but I just liked it for this cheerful little puppy.

I would like to enter my puppy with a bow in the QKR Stampede Challenge #306 Anything Goes

Thanks Leslie Miller for the inspiration.

The Good Mouse

Hello my friends.  Let me just say "It's good to be back" and I hope I don't wonder off again.

I wanted something to get my mojo going and I decided to look at my favorite challenge blog and see what they had to inspire me.  Sure enough  the Double "D" Tea Time Challenge was just the ticket.

Add in a bit of Christmas and I was all in grabbing, paper, makers, dies, the silhouette and this sweet image. Soon I was in that familiar happy zone. My craft room, not so much. A little mouse can really create havoc! 

I think I might call her Nelly the Mouse. 

And a new thing for me.... Completing my cards on the outside and inside at the same time. 

Dies - Sue Wilson (outside), Spellbinder (inside)
Image - Mo's Digital Pencil 
Stamp - Miracles by Stampabilities

A big shout out to the design teams for their inspiration.
