Fantabulous Cricut has a challenge to create an organization project. Last yr I created a notebook with a Dragon on it since 2012 was Year of the Dragon which you can click here for details. Well, 2013 is Year of the Snake so figured why not use an action wobble on my snake and make it a Rattlesnake on my notebook. See the photo below of the Rattlesnake with Action Wobble movement. I'll use this notebook to record notes of challenge creations by blog friends that I want to refer back to.
Kraft cardstock is the base & Old West scrapbook paper for layer. Used Animal Kingdom for Snake. Used Old West Rope option for '2013' which complements the Western theme. Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser & Distress Ink walnut stain. Made another of the Wild West Pocket Tag which you can click here for details. Added ribbon.

Chose 'Dog' theme for Mark's Finest Papers Simple Salutations challenge hosting this week 1/2-8 in honor of my dog, Teddy, whose 12th birthday was New Year's Day.
Stamped the Scottie Dog & sentiment on white cardstock. Stamped Scottie on plaid scrapbook paper, cut out/paper pieced the plaid to attach to the stamped image on white cardstock. Used Spellbinder and used negative die cut image cut from paw print scrapbook paper. Used plaid scrapbook paper that matches the paper pieced plaid on stamped Scottie as a layer on the Kraft cardstock base of this card. Added a ribbon that is recycled from a chocolate truffle pkg that hubby gave me for Christmas.
