Dogs are in the House

 

I pulled out a large heart die, a couple of embossing folders and the adorable dogs from Tim Holtz Mini Cats and Dogs to make a trio of Valentines for some of my dog-loving friends.  Actually, I think that all of my friends are dog lovers.  I probably should have made a few more of these.

Embossing folder from Altenew and Texture plate from PTI.  The sentiment is from SSS.

There are so many fun challenges involving friends, love, hearts, etc., and I am trying to hit them all.  I am entering these cards at Just Us Girls #618: Friends, AAA Cards #208: Black & White + 1 Color (red), Addicted to CAS #213: Hearts, Retro Rubber #175: Love, Love, Love (I've had these stamps for 2 or 3 years, but I think they are older), Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Love is in the Air, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Emboss it, The Paper Players #577: Love & Friendship, and Color Hues #34: Red & Black.

Another dog card from me today, this one is a birthday card for a little neighbor boy who really loves Sherlock but is still gathering up his courage to get close enough to pet him.  He is turning 4, and Sherlock is sending him this card, hoping to win his heart.

This card was inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch #580, AAA Birthday #34: Pattern (grass made of striped patterned paper), CAS on Friday #224: Male, and WWC334: Occasions (birthday).

Time Out #87...Reminder...Happy Birthday

There is still time to play along with our current challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is a CASE challenge, and we have this amazing card by Cornelia to inspire us.  

I was inspired by that adorable crazy bird, the background behind the bird, and the way Cornelia did her sentiment.  Although I have the same bird stamps, I decided to use my crazy dogs for this card.

I stamped and colored my pup, and then masked him off to stamp the woodgrain mat background behind him.  I stamped my sentiment on a piece of scrap card stock, and then cut it out and adhered it with foam tape.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Pooja, so please stop by her blog to see what she has created for this challenge.  Happy Little Stamper is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

This challenge will run another week.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.
