Birdies & puppy dog tails

Lots of photos.....
only two cards,
and a wee felt flower.
But doggy updates are included.

My first card is using
my new Martha Stewart punch.
I am entering it in
Scrapbook sisters Thank you Challenge.

I didn't want this to be too
fussy as the wee birdies papers
are made using basic grey scraps
that are a bit busy.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Next card is for a friend I hope to see tomorrow.
I am loving my new punch,
and can see it being used a lot.
The back ground paper is basic grey again.

Cute card Thursday want 1,2,3.
I have used 1 punch,
2 stamps and 3 colours.
Pixie dust want buttons on the card.
Truly scrumptious want pink, brown & green.

This felt flower is for the same person
the card is for.
I made this flower using
tim holtz cutting die.

OK......
It's doggy time!!
This doggy bed is like a wee house
and has two openings into it.
We had to remove it as these two fight
over it, and bash who ever
is trying to get in the house.
They are both too big to fit
right inside it.....
But both try anyway!

They are as like chalk and cheese
in every way.

Our friend broke her ankle
when she fell on the ice,
her wee dog came to stay
with us for almost a week.....
He loves Poppy....
He is not so keen on Bella.
But Bella really doesn't care.....

Hope you are grand xxxx

Gnomes and Kitty Cats.

This must be my lucky week!
I won the weekly challenge over
at Pixie Dust's blog
and picked this wee guy as my prize!

I am entering this card in two challenges.
This is my take on Friday sketchers,
I have rotated the sketch around.

Passion for promarkers want you
to make your own flowers.
I made my flower
from bits of ribbon.
The main DP is basic grey.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Since this a pixie Dust Image
I thought I would take part in
their sketch challenge this week too.

The main DP on this card is Bo Bunny.

Next is a card requested by my sister
for her friend Alison.
She asked for me to use this stamp
and the three colours
Green, Blue & Turquoise.

I am entering it in sketch saturday.
I moved the image over a wee bit
as it was difficult to cut through
the layers, and I wanted to keep
as much of the paper lace in it as
I could, hope this is ok.
Oh Alice want a window on
this weeks card.

I am really enjoying my week off
and have plans for next week already
including the gym, lunch out and
a shopping trip to Aberdeen,
including the papermill.
Happy happy!!

Hope you are all happy today too xx

Cats, Dogs, wolves and love triangle!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
I have had a lovely afternoon crafting.
This card is for my FIL Father's day card.

I am entering it in One Stop Craft Challenge
in their sketch challenge.

Something Completely Different
want skinnies which are 3"x5"
and this week it is cats.

I really enjoyed this,
I used up basic gray scrap.


But then decided to make it into a card.
which I used a sketch from
Stash & Sketch.
The basic gray is paper scraps I have
stored away for months, as is the tiny
bit of ribbon I have kept.
None of the stamps are new either.

Over at Paperbabe's blog
I saw the most amazing
pop up easel card!

Kim had made it so
a character popped up
using an acetate cube.

I had so much fun with this card.

I have used my new PixieDust
Twilight digi images again.
I am entering this at thier
Twilight Blog Hop.
Twilight has become a slight obsession...
Hubby might not agree on my
use of the word slight ! LOL !

I love these guys.

I am entering it in a few challenges.
Secret Crafters want a quote.
If you don't know Twilight,
Bella loves Edward,
Edward Loves Bella,
Jacob loves Bella...

Bella is a pain in the butt!

I love Edward!!! LOL!

Talking about love.....

Its the snuggly twosome again!

Much love Teen xxx

love it and not so sure........

I found this sketch looking back on a site I found after being on Linda's blog.
Just Birthday and Christmas cards.
They put a sketch on each week and you make both a Birthday and Xmas card from same sketch.
They have done 3 sketches and this was #1.

I am half way through trying their other two sketches....just waiting on glue drying.

This one is made with my first bits of basic grey from the Eva range,
and the last of my mate Briony's home dyed material.
She is so clever and uses the material for quilting!

Tilda is from an image swap.


It is the most beautiful purple, with bits of cerise in it.
I almost didn't want to use it up !

I am happier with the colouring on from the whisper pens using the blending pen.
And I might change the sentiment in between the buttons.

This one.....*sigh* I bought a cuttle bug embossing folder a wee while back
and this is the first time I have used it.



I used wee drops of two different blue inks to highlight parts of it,
I liked how it ended up, and then I managed to smudge ink on the edge of it.....
so I decided to trim it so it was not wasted.
But now.....I really don't think I like it very much.
I put some navy ribbon behind it....and thought I might use it for the Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge that is blue, white and a few snowflakes....


but I think I will have another go at this one.
