till we meet again Russell

Monday August 2, 2021

My daughter has 5 dogs. (she's had dogs all her life..) They are a big part of her life. She had to say goodbye to one of them on the 19th of July. It is always so hard to do but you know it's best for them. It's just so hard for us that are still here an miss them so much. Russell had a lot of health issues over the years but he was a trooper and kept holding on. He loved chasing the tennis ball.  I created this card for her.  Russell's color is black and white I used copics. I used my ground and cloud template and Ranger ink. I added the Simon Says rainbow using Simon Says ink. I added the paw prints from Paper Trey Ink with Memento ink and the SS hearts with Stampin up ink. The fence is a Taylored Expressions die with scrap paper. The dog is a Lawn Fawn image and die. 

The sentiment inside is from Paper Trey Ink. The paw prints represent my three dogs and I used Quick Quote ink and added their names. I always include them on every card I send out..  We haven't signed it yet.. Wanted to keep it personal.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC

I digging through my Christmas papers I found two music designer papers one was old vintage looking and then the other was this one.  I knew what stamp set I wanted to use so decided on this one which I think turned out perfect.

I took some glitter paper and Martha Stewart punch and added this strip to the card top. I stamped the Lawn Fawn images and sentiment on watercolor paper and using Prima watercolors painted them.

Get well soon - Louie

Saturday June 26, 2021

Hello

I made this card for my son's dog Louie who is a Yorkie and got bit playing with my grandsons dog which is a Golden retriever.. He got bit in the eye on Fathers day so they ran Louie to the emergency vet. They gave him a pain shot and said no dr. was there to say if he was ok. So my son and DIL decided to take him home (it was already 11pm.) and monitor him all night. My DIL took him to the vet Monday morning and the Dr. there said he needs to see a specialist as there is a lot of swelling. So she ran him over there and they put him on a bunch of meds and he needs to come back when the swelling is down and get an ultrasound. So it's a wait.  He could lose his eye sight in the one eye as there is a lot of bleeding behind the eye. Anyhow I made this card for Louie from our three dogs. Of course my dogs are a Shih Tzu/Llasa,  a Maltese, a Shih Tzu/Maltese  and I just tried to find small dogs that would kinda work and paint sorta the colors they are. I used Shin Han water colors. I used a Sugar Pea, Newton's nook, Simon Says, Paper Pretties, Lawn Fawn stamps.

Home is wherever - Cardz 4 Guyz #269

Tuesday April 20, 2021

Hello

I am the HOST over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #269

So I got to chose the theme

WHEELS - show something with wheels

I know this doesn't look so manly... BUT. I was thinking of my son and dil.. they go camping all the time in their little camper and tow with their car. So this guy took his honey camping. To make it homey for her he added the little flamingos. (if I had smaller dogs I would of added two little dogs as that's what they have.. but the flamingos were better size).. I thought the red made it more masculine vs. pinks and greens. I colored the images which are from Lawn Fawn and Newtons Nook. I used my cloud and ground template to create with Ranger ink. I stamped the sentiment and used Stampin up die.  The strip of dp is from Quick quote.  I love the scene and fun thought of getting away and camping. If only I had a camper.

Hello.. We are back from our break so it's time for another challenge

at Always Fun Challenge #196

Our theme this week is

Something New

This stamp set is brand new. I just got it.. It's a Lawn Fawn stamp set and die. I dug through my scrap box and pieced the background.. I found this already made piece (from an old scrapbook page I tore apart.. there will be more of those brad bases in the future) I then stamped the LF sentiment and stamped and colored with copics the images. I added them to the card piece. I might give this to my hubby for our anniversary next month.. I get lost so easily and we laugh about it a lot... so it would have a double meaning.
