I WON a BLOG CANDY! And it just came in the mail today! WAHOO, I was overjoyed at what I got from Kimberly over at Scrap It Girl's blog. My favorite thing in the package was the Sakura glitter liner pens. I have been looking everywhere for them but didn't know exactly what I looking for. The hunt is now over because I got 2. Thank you so much Kimberly for everything!
Good morning and a happy Sunday to you. I hope you're enjoying your day of rest. It's a quiet day here, 56 degrees out and warm. Especially when we had snow on the ground just a couple days ago and more coming this week. Oh well, we'll enjoy the warmth while it's here.
Today I have a
Tiddly Ink's image, "
Alice". I'm looking for a quote something like Time stands still when you're in love. I'll add it when I pick the right one. I used Basic Gray papers from the two scoops Dreamsicle pack. The cute little cherubs went great with my theme. The ribbon is from RRR and the gems are Prisma. I was thinking that I should probably back the heart swirl on top with yellow cardstock??? Watcha think? The Love in hearts was in my January RAK package. I just love it.

A friend asked me to make a birthday card that had something to do with the colts. I'm not a huge football fan myself so this was a hard one. I found a football player image at
Kenny K's and followed their sketch as well. I tried to color my image in the uniform colors, which I had to look up online. It's not great, but it got the job done. Hope you enjoy.

YAY, snow again, NOT!
I had to share a funny pic of my fur baby "Ruffis". He's a chocolate lab with a bit of hound in him. He's Buddies daddy. (The one that got hit by a truck and had his tail amputated, yep, that's the one!) His momma was a beagle, yes folks it does happen. Poor old girl had two litters of his pups before she went to puppy heaven. She was a strong little thing. We call them "Beagledores", half/lab - half/beagle
On to my card! Of course, you now know why I was thinking about fur babies today. I used this adorable image "
Hershey Bath" from
Sew Many Cards. He's just too darn cute. I paired him up with some of my papers from an old Swirlydoo's Kit and ribbon from RRR. I made my bow and added a little blue stick pin with a heart on it. I pushed it down under the layers so you won't get poked opening it. I love the phrase "Oh no you didn't!", which is from Kraftin Kimmie's. I'm NOT happy with the coloring on the barrel, but I am happy with the glazed water look. I used my glossy accents for that and sprinkled just a touch of glitter on it. I also distressed all the edges and inked it with Tim Holtz, Weathered Wood. I'm really trying to use different products and colors that I'm not so comfortable with. One day I will actually figure out shading, until then I'll keep on trying!

My Sheri - Organic (Can't get more organic than water!)
I'm trying to make a point to also decorate the insides of my card as well this year. Nothing fancy just to finish it off.
I hope everyone stays warm!

Hey! Here's my second post this morning. I did a vintage card below this one if you'd like to check it out.
Here I have Sassy Cheryl's "Simple Gift". I see I forgot the sentiment, oh well. I opted to use these bright cheery colors which fit into several challenges listed below. I just love this image. Such simplicity in children and gift giving. My papers are from Websters and the ribbon is from RRR. It's a pretty basic sketch, but so cute. I hope you enjoy.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and let me know you were here! It totally makes my day to read your comments.
