Life is better with a dog

Good Morning! I had intended to share this yesterday, but life got the better of me. My oldest son had a track meet that lasted for over 5 hours,YIKES! So I got up early to share. Playing along with the "Love your pet " blog hop. I've seen so many darling cards already. Now off to clean the house , so much for a day off

Love your pet blog hop

Hello! I'm stopping in today to share a fun card I made for the "love your pet blog hop" host by Jessica Lynn Originals.Jessica was kind enough to send me this darling stamp set to play along with the blog hop. I think this sweet little dog would brighten anyone's day. Jessica is doing this hop to raise money for her local pet rescue group ( https://www.luckymuttsrescue.org/ )and will be donating for each card entered in the hop challenge, which is so sweet of her. I myself am owned by a rescue dog, we got her from our local rescue where she had been saved from the Chicago Area shelter 1 hour before they were to put her down to make room. She was adopted and returned 4 times before we adopted her. Apparently Belle( both a beauty and a beast) barked non-stop at the other 4 homes for the whole 48 hours she was there. The rescue group must have contacted us 6 times in the 1st 4 days to see how it was going, she hadn't made a peep. She found her family! She picked us, or my son Evan ! He volunteered for the rescue to spend time with dogs as our oldest son is terribly allergic, Belle is hypo-allergenic. Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back tomorrow with another card to share for the hop.

CC&S #269

Welcome back! I'm sharing my DT card for this week's sketch challenge at CAS Colours and sketches. I opted for a really simple color scheme for this card. I used blooming bunch from Studio Katia and the sentiment is part SSS and the die is from PPP. I usually have a pile of "parts" left over from previous projects, so I'm trying to use some of those up. Does anyone else do that? save the extra pieces ? I have a whole drawer full of stamped/diecut images I should assemble into cards. Thanks for stopping by today.

Unicorns and rainbows


Hello! I'm working hard to keep up with all my card orders from my coworkers . I always use what I make from my sales to buy new supplies, and this stamp is one of my newest purchases . I have been wanting to ink it up and the current challenge at Paper Players gives me a great excuse to play along. I have more ideas for this cute stamp set in the future. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm sharing my card for this week's color challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. These are such summery colors I had to use a summer stamp. I wanted to use the bikini die again, but I has this butterfly I hadn't used yet, so I needed to ink it up. I put myself on a spending freeze (only stamps/dies) for the month of April. So for I'm doing good, it helps that I ordered a TON of stuff in march so I have lots that I haven't used yet. I'm saving all the money I make from card sales and my de-stash sales until May. I hope I make it all month. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday bubbles



Hello! I'm crafting away this cold dreary day today. I've had a couple of friend's husbands die unexpectedly this week , so I'm only making cheerful happy cards today. What is happier than an elephant blowing bubbles? Not much. I used some PPP clear sequins for my bubbles and the stamp is MFT. I'll save this for a coworker who LOVES elephants next birthday. Playing along with the "bubbles" challenge at Addicted to CASand the 'make your mark" challenge at Addicted to Thanks for stopping by today.
