Man's Best Friend!

My second post today is for four challenges

First is Paper Craft Crew with this sketch,

Second is Crafting with Dragonflies who want  A MALE CARD

third is Delightful Sketches who want us to MAKE YOUR CUT
(use Dies or Punches)

and lastly, Inky Impressions want to see ANIMALS


Here is my card

I stuck some DP to some card, and die cut the dog in the Big Shot, and added a second layer on 3D pads to his nose and paws. I drew his eyes and nose, and highlighted his joins with a brown marker. He was placed on 3D pads, on some more DP and navy card that had been wrapped with a blue ribbon. The finishing touches were the sentiments and bow

This is the second card that my friend, Rita, has asked me to make. It's for her partner, Bill's, birthday from their lovely dog, Toby. She is whisking Bill away to Teneriffe for his birthday on Friday, so he will miss seeing their dog and this card will cheer him up.

This is the insert I added.

Supplies :

Card = Midnight Muse, Whisper White, and white base FMS

Stamps = Papermania, and Express Yourself

Inks = Black and White Gel pen

Tools = Big Shot, Die Monde Dog, and Nestabilities, 

Extras = 3D Pads, DP FMS, and Ribbon 

That's all for today, see you soon

Yappy Birthday #2

This is the same card as posted earlier today, but without the green vines. I think my card needed it to make sense of the flowers. What do you think?

I'm entering this again for CAS Colours and Sketches.

Supplies are the same as before but without the Lucky Limeade vine.

Be back soon

Yappy Birthday

We're still covered in snow here, so It's a good excuse to stay in the warm and craft while waiting for the Grand Prix to start.

My card today is for two challenges.

Firstly CAS Colours and Sketches with this colour palette,

and then CASe this Sketch with this sketch

 Here it is

My dog is a Die-Monde die put through the Big Shot and made in Crumb Cake ( as I don't have River Rock )and edges sponged with Suede. He is actually sat down, but I've manipulated his body so he looks like he has jumped up onto a Flower Soft white picket fence stamped in Suede on Natural White. I pieced together the sentiment and stamped it in red. I then punched some Red flowers for the fence, but they didn't look right so I've added a green vine ( I'm crossing my fingers that I haven't broken the colour rules?! ), and Crumb Cake and White Pearl centres.

Supplies :
Card = Crumb Cake, Real Red, Lucky Limeade, and White base FMS
Stamps = Flower Soft, and Verve
Inks = Soft Suede, Black, Real Red, and White Gel Pen
Tools = Big Shot, Die-Monde Die, Marianne Vine die, Readicut Flower punches, and Stamp-a-ma-jig#
Extras = White Pearls and 3D pads

I had a fun night playing Bingo at Nathan's school on Friday, and I won a prize. Have a look

Poor Nathan thought that he had marked a full house, and Mike ( his Daddy ) shouted out. One of the PTA members came over to our table to check the card and he realised that there was one number not marked off, so it was a false call. Talk about embarrassing with everyone looking at us, but someone else won with the next number called, and Nathan was gutted. I offered him my mug but he didn't want it, so hopefully next time he will be luckier.

Thanks for dropping by

Doggy Birthday

This is the birthday card I made for my step sister Cassy, whose special day is today. I couldn't post it until now or she would have seen it. She has recently become a mum to a rescued brindle greyhound called Mutley, hence the doggy card.

Recipe :

Card = Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White

Stamps = Inspired by Nature and Verve

Inks = Tempting Turquoise, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and TH Tea Dye

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Shapeabilities, Die Monde Dog die, and Readicut flower punch

Extras = Ribbon and 3D pads

I've been so busy over the last few days, what with the Olympic Torch running through the town, trip to the Safari Park, and 2 Birthday parties, so I haven't had any time for crafting.

I have, however, had time to photograph the Candy I have on offer, so please read the following post for rules of entry

More crafting may come this week so please call again, and Thanks for stopping today.
