How Much is That Doggie In the Window -Mo's DT Post #104

It's still Elaine's turn to host and this weeks theme is "Inspired By A Song" Elaine, I must say you've really challenged me so far, I was going to do it really easy this time, and pick "Happy Birthday" but that was a little too easy and after all this is a challenge. Then I remembered that song "How Much Is That Doggie In the Window" and decided to use "It's All in the Accessories" especially since it looks just like my Ginger. Ginger is a special member of the family who came into our lives 11 years ago and is a rescue dog, we have no idea how old she really is she has a little gimp in her leg, but who cares, we love her just the same. She is a great companion for my hubby and is all of 8 pounds, a tiny little thing, but has that Napoleon complex and thinks she is 10 feet tall and protects us like she is a pit bull. Anyway, you can find that adorable image HERE and HERE

I made this for my Mom who 80th Birthday is a few days she keeps trying to steal Ginger by sticking her in the seat of her walker..lol and yes, Ginger does give us that evil eye look sometimes, and we know to move our hand very quickly..



Of course I had to make a matching box, I used my scallop punch and tried to make it look like a canopy over the window of the pet shop and this is what I came up with.






the card and the box:



and last but not least my angle shot.



I hope I inspired someone to join in on the fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just don't for get to use one of Mo's images. If you need more inspiration don't forget to visit the rest of the teams blogs they really out did themselves and came up with some great ideas just click HERE to see what they came up with and as Pat always says, don't forget to leave them a little love.

I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts which you can find HERE and the ribbon and charm from The Ribbon Girl which you can find HERE

DT Post #99 - Boy Attitude

Well, once again, it's Iulia's turn to host, and this week and she picked a great one "Boy Attitude" and with a house full of boys, the hardest part for me was to pick an image. I swear I feel like Mo lived right next door to me. She's has captured my boys to a tee.. especially this one.. it reminds me of my oldest when he was two. He is now 21. I remember that face so well...and No Aldo, it never worked...lol

I used an old sketch from Friday Sketchers. I find I use those sketches so useful and use them over and over. This was sketch # 126.

So in honor of those terrible two's and the trying three's this card is for all those Mom's out there to remind you, it does get better...Honest.

You can find this adorable image HERE and of course there is always a girl version her name is Jill and you can find her Here

The pins were from my son Michael's Prom...When his prom date went to pin on his boutonniere she must have though I was nuts because I said what ever you do, don't lose those pins..They will be perfect for my cards..

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts which you can find Here and the lace is from The Ribbon Girl which you can find HERE

Just Magnolia/hAnglar sTanglar - Paper Piecing week 111

This is the card that I made for my husband for Father's Day, but did not get a chance to post until now. I used this gorgeous paper I found at Michaels from DCWV called Nantucket. I knew I had to have it not only for my hAnglar sTanglar sailor images, but my magnolia ones as well. Yes, I was bad, and didn't stick to my rule and try and use what I had in my stash.. I just couldn't resist this stack and well a few others, I mean after all I had a few 50% off coupons and since it is only 10 minutes away from work. Well, lets just say my lunch hours were quite busy last week.

Anyway, over at Just Magagnolia and hAnglar sTanglar, the challenge this week is paper piecing something I love to do so this was right up my alley. I knew I had to ink up this adorable image and break out my new stash of papers from DCWV. So here is my take on this weeks Just Magnolia and hAnglar sTanglar challenge

DT Post Creative Inspirations Challenge # 62 and DT Call

This week over at Creative Inspirations it's Emma's turn, and she decided to have a go at sewing on a card. Well, I knit, I crochet, and I do all types of needle work, but when it comes to actually sewing with a sewing machine, well, lets just say although I have one, it just collects dust. I have always admired sewing on cards and have always wanted to give it a try, but since I don't have a craft room, I've never wanted to drag it out for the card and then put it away again. So, I kind of cheated. I found this gorgeous paper at Michaels which is pre-sewn. Hey, it works right and fits the challenge this week which is stitching on your card real or fake... So why not give it a try and check out the rest of the teams cards.. They've all worked so hard on them, and I know they would love hearing from you as would I. Our sponsors this week are Quioxtic Paper and Little Claires Designes
We are also having a DT calll, so if you are interested, just and DT after your entry.




So here is my Card for the Challenge:

Wild Orchid Craft

I used this adorable Fairy Doodle image and followed the sketch over at Wild Orchid Crafts. The sketch was designed by the ever so talented Bev. She is truly an inspiration when it comes to card making.



I also purchased a table top tent to help me take better pictures. I am still playing with where to place the lights as to not cast a shadow. Guess I didn't quite set them up right since this is still a little dark. So if anyone out there in blog land has a Cowboy Studio Light Tent Kit or another type of light tent, and can give me a pointer, I really would appreciate it.

My First Kenny K Creation

I was just about to up-load this and realized after I checked out the blog that I left out the band across the bottom. So I had to carefully take off the image and place the band with the red ribbon behind it and retake the pictures so I guess this is take 2...lol But at least I caught it before I entered it into the challenge. Anyway, this was my first purchase at Kenny K's and was purchased with hubby in mind, I think it will be perfect for Valentine's Day . I didn't want anything cutesy and this definitely fit the bill. I must say, I really enjoyed coloring her in totally different experience from coloring in Tilda's I might add..

Just Magnolia, Magnolia Down Under

I followed the sketch at Just Magnolia, which was designed by Donalda, and since I am reusing the ribbon that came wrapped around my beautiful calendar that Tammi gave me I am also recycling it so this fits Magnolia Down Under which is to reduce/reuse/ or recycle
Once again I followed the tutorial for making copics look like Distress inks given by Suzanne Dean which can be found here

I am loving these flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, don't know what took me so long to join the band wagon. But, I am really enjoying them and glad I finally took the plunge.

I Love You This Much!!!

Suzanne Dean made this great tutorial on using copics to look like those beautiful Scandanavian Magnolia's that are colored with distress inks. You can find it here I have always loved that look and have always wanted to give it a try, but did not want to invest, or find room for more stuff. So this was right up my alley. It was my first attempt and I must say I am very pleased with the result. It was also the first time I used these gorgeous flowers by
Wild Orchid Crafts

This fits the:
Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge: Sentiment
Wild Orchid Crafts: Sentiment
Simon Says: Bingo-3 things in a row: Flower/Ribbon/Die Cut
7 Kids College Fund: Challenge Yourself- My first attempt at using copics to look like distess inks & my first use of WOC Flowers.
Copic Creations: Something New: Flowers, & use of copics to look like distress inks


I used Tilda Wants a Hug, and covered up the Holly Berries in her hair with these pearls so that it would be more appropriate for Valentine's Day. This image reminds me of the days when my kids were young and we used to banter back and forth saying, "I Love This Much"' and of course the kids would try and make their arms wider and say, "No I Love You More, I Love You This Much". I miss those days...
