Heart Decor

 Some of you know I follow a Comedian Dena Blizzard, known as One Funny Mother.  I have been following Dena for 4 years.  She has a LIVE weekday morning show on Facebook 7:30ish to 8:30ish.  Her Family has become my Family and all the monthly supporters are also part of the Family!  Dena has kept her Christmas tree up and asked us to send her Hearts to decorate her tree.  She asked that we put a Loved ones name on the front and why we love them on the back.....of course my Heart belongs to Josie!


I somehow managed to not include her white muzzle, I thought I knew what my Dog looked like!


I found some Retired Heart Dies and a Heart embossing folder.  Layered Hearts and added a cutout from the Doggone Friendly Background stamp.  This stamp has so many options!


Dena has 3 Dogs, so I included a Heart for each Fur Baby.  Colby is her Old Man and having some health issues  Lulu is her Boxer rescue Co-host on many mornings.



And finally Ruby a Boxer rescue who is scared of her shadow.


I can't wait to see Dena decorate her tree with all our Hearts and see everyone's creativity!  Get Creative with your Family and share some LOVE this Valentine's Day!

Box of Donuts......

 This card has been rolling around in my mind for a few weeks.  I finally was able to do some crafting in the Sunshine yesterday and made this card.  Crumb cake card base, Very Vanilla Donut Box.  I used the Postage stamp Square to cut out holes in a 4X4 piece of card stock.  Last Square is a bit crooked....so I embellished with an Extra Donut.  


Donuts were stamped and cut with matching Die from the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle.  I popped up the Box and adhered the Donuts to the Pumpkin Pie background.



You could replicate this card is lots of Color combos for lots of Occasions!  More coming soon!

Doggone Friendly

 I knew I had to have this Back Ground stamp the minute I opened the catalog!  You can Stamp and Go with the Black and White, Accent with a Mat of color, Color a few Dogs of choice or Color them ALL!!



I used a Cherry Cobbler mat on a Crumb Cake card base.....Colored a Dachshund and the Boston Terrier.  Added some accents on the Great Dane and a couple of other dogs.  I am sure you can find your Breed on this stamp!  

Be careful with your Pups this week.  Josie went out about 5am and got STUCK!!  She was taking longer than usual and pretty soon I could not see her.  She was whimpering from behind the fire pit and could not move.  I coaxed and called and she finally took a few steps and fell!  Her poor feet were not working! 

 I was about to run out, but she took a few steps, fell again and then made her way back to me on 2 legs.  I dried her feet off and gave some pretty aggressive Toe massages and she was back to normal in no time.  It happened so fast, it was probably -10 and still very dark when this happened.  I always stand by the door and wait for her.  Last week was hard and sounds like a few more days are ahead of us....so snuggle those pups and keep them close!!
