Our PERFECT Companions

I don't know about you but I love animals... all kinds... but the loveable household dog or cat would rank pretty high on my list.  I didn't realize how many stamps I have that are actually animals...

This sweet dog is an image from Eat Cake Graphics.  Coloured with Copics.

Paper is (once again...) MME Dilly Dally combined with a small bit of BG Max & Whiskers (yellow).  Sentiment is from an MFT set... as are all of the dies, except the Spellbinder oval.  Butterflies were made with a Martha Stewart Punch.... and I couldn't resist placing the smallest butterfly right on the tip of this guys nose.

Happy April everyone.  Hope you survived all the April Fools jokes from yesterday.........

You Make Me Smile

I dragged out one of my old wood block stamps today from Eat Cake Graphics - love this cat. There's actually a lot of cool sentiments that you could pair him up with, but I knew I wanted to use this smile-sentiment from Verve.

Hope you're all smilin' today...

New Home

I know I've been MIA again, but work has been eating up all my energy lately. I get home after working overtime again... and there's just nothing left. I'm starting to panic a little about not having any Christmas cards done. And I mean "none"... as in "zero". Whoops - even seeing it in black & white makes me panic a little bit more!! I'm usually way ahead of the game by now. 8)

Made this card for my brother & his girlfriend who just had a new home built. The house is stunning by the way - there's just no other word for it.
