My Crafty Weekend

A beautiful sunny weekend in Southern California, and I had some time to play in my craft room.

First up is a card I made for the Dog's Life challenge at Simon Says Monday Challenge and the color challenge at Just Add Ink #382.  I die cut the dog that looked most like my friend's lab in black, grey and Autumn Rose and arranged them randomly on my card front.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Lucky Dog and the dies are Impression Obsession.

Next up is a card using Word Ribbon and the Funky Square Tag Die from CAS-ual Fridays.  I am playing along in their CFC#185: Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness.  I love this awesome quote, and how it can be used for more occasions than breast cancer awareness.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #264: CAS.

Even though the colors at Just Us Girls #416 said Halloween to me, I challenged myself to make a birthday card, since that is what I needed more.  I am also entering this at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.

I fell in love with the roses in Altenew Bamboo Roses, and used them with my copic markers to make a get well card, which I am entering at CAS on Friday #119 to make a card with flowers on it.

And, finally, I need to start making some holiday cards, so here are two of them.  First up is a card using the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #244.

And, lastly a card using the colors from CAS Colour and Sketches #245.  I used String of Lights dies from Lawn Fawn.

Puppy Love

Happy Saturday.  Yes, I made another dog card today.  I have not played at CASual Fridays in a while, and their challenge CFC125:  in a word  this week got me thinking.  What is going on in my life?  Well, of course--we just got a puppy, and now everything revolves around our sweet Sherlock.  So, my word(S):  PUPPY LOVE.

I am entering this card into several other challenges as well:

Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge to use something new.  My PTI Wonderful Words Love die is brand new, and my Paper Smooches Lucky Dog and Paws for a Cause are pretty new, too.

Addicted to CAS #29 Code Word Die Cuts--I used Headline Alphabet to spell 'PUPPY', Wonderful words Love die, Tiny Tags (for the heart), and Lil Inkers Stitched Ovals Dies on this card.

I am also playing for the first time at Simply Create Too #52--Anything Goes.

A puppy love post would not be complete without a picture of the little guy himself, right?  Here is is crashed out in his crate, after a long walk and a session wearing himself out at the dog park.  When we first got Sherlock, I thought it was mean to put him in a cage.  But, he loves his crate so much--he goes in there when he is tired and wants to sleep in peace.

Paper Smooches and Simon Says Wednesday

Happy Friday everyone.  If you haven't heard my big news that I've been shouting from the rooftops, please click here.  I have two cards today, and they are both for Paper Smooches Anything Goes challenge, and also for Simon Says Wednesday Challenge to use something new.  I used my new PS Paws for a Cause and Lucky Dog stamps and Dog Icon dies. 

I have no idea what I will use these cards for, but these stamps are so cute, I just had to pull them out to play.  All the patterned papers are leftovers from a 4-of-a-Kind kit Renee sent out last year.
