It's A Pet's Life This Week

This week's theme is 'A Pet's Life'.  I myself have a few pets:  3 dogs (one is my daughter's), 2 cats (one is my daughter's) and a snake (which is my daughter's).  Do you see a pattern here?

Anyhoo, for this week's theme I used a digi stamp from Fred She Says.  And if you check out my blog on a regular basis - you know the drill.  Bring it in to Silhouette Studio Designer Software  -  trace it, add regristration marks and print it.  Color it with - you know - Zig Clean Brush Markers.  Then cut it out using my Silhouette.  It might seem repetitive to you, but I LOVE it!  lol

Here is the card:

I did do something new - glitter on the butterflies.  Since I no longer make cards for OWH - I am delving into the realm of glitter.  :-)

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for a new theme - Halloween.

Have a great day and enjoy the journey.

Stinkin Cute Forest Friend

Jenny finally had some free time in her busy schedule.  She created a stinkin cute card for this week's theme of forest friends.

Here is Jenny's card:

The stamp is from Stacy.  This little stinker was colored with Copic markers and the center of the flowers were covered in Stickles.  The yellow cardstock was punched using a Martha Stewart punch.

Forest Friends - Not So Furry, but Feathery

Dee has been busy in her craft room again.  She created this card for this week's theme with some feathery forest creatures.

'Friends' It's Owl Good

Tree background is a Sizzix embossing folder by Tim Holtz, lightly sanded and inked.  Owl images punched out using a punch from Paper Studio.  The owls are colored with Zig Clean Brush Markers (Dee's favorite, too) and then they were flocked.  The white one is a snowy owl and the brown one is a barn owl.  Googly eyes added.  Branch is Sizzix die with leaves added that were punched using a punch by Paper Studio.  The Friends sentiment is from Sizzix by Tim Holtz.

Some More Furry Critters

This week's theme is Furry Forest Friends.  This is the post where I take the forest part of theme to the edge.  My two cards feature furry critters and I suppose they are found in the forest.  They can also be found in your garage and sometimes in your house.  LOL

Here are my cards featuring My Favorite Things and (I know you're sick of hearing it) Zig Clean Brush Markers.

All I did was mat the white cardstock with Cranberry cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  I popped up the mouse with foam tape and stamped the sentiment.

I used a Darice embossing folder for the kraft cardstock background.  I popped up the mouse with foam tape and stamped the sentiment on the die cut stitched piece.

I kept the cards pretty simple to let the images be the focus.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for WOYWW.

Isaiah 12:2  Surely God is my salvation;  I will trust and not be afraid.  The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;  he has become my salvation.

All About Our Furry Forest Friends

This week's theme is going to be Furry Forest Friends.  I may push the envelope on the forest part of this theme.  :-)   But what is new?

I used two Hero Arts sets to create these cards.  I have more little critters, but wasn't inspired on a layout for the rest.  Never fear - I will figure it out.

I used my ( yeah you know what's comin) Zig Clean Brush Markers to color the little critters.  I used a die from My Favorite Things to cut the stitched hole in the patterned cardstock.  I used enamel dots to add a little embellishment to the cards.  The patterned paper is from my stash.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for some more furry forest critters.

Have a great day and enjoy the journey.

Proverbs 4:23  Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

One Little Piggy Watches HSN Craft Day.......

This week's blog theme is 'Animals'.  I was going through my stamps and ran across this Piggy Bank 2 Stamp from the Stamps of Life.  I thought a ha!  It's animal week.  So I pulled out my Fuse tool and created a shaker card.

Here are the cards:

On this card I used foam tape behind the top layer to prop up the front of the card from the card base allowing the sequins to move around when you shake the card.  I used Stazon ink, but it didn't 'stick' to the acetate.  Bummer - right.

I must say this one is my favorite.  I went ahead and used Stazon ink on this one, but followed up with my Sharpie to clean up the lines.  I entered this card into the challenge at Your Next Stamp Blog.

Here are the products I used to create these shaker cards.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for a new theme - embossing.

Have a great day and be inspired.

Romans 11:33  Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!  How unsearchable his judgements, and his paths beyond tracing out!

Animal House!

I live in an animal house - do you?  We have 2 dogs (really 3 if you include my Agnes who is here most of the time but actually belongs to my daughter), 2 cats (one of which my daughter brought home and is not going to be taking when she leaves), a snake (which will be leaving when my daughter does - I don't really care how) and some saltwater fish (again - staying - eek!).

In honor of all animals everywhere - this week's theme is 'Animals'.  :-)

Here is another project by Diane featuring one of our furry friends.

Diane used stamps from Stamps By Judith and Heathers to create this adorable card.  If I didn't already have 2 cats -  I might want that one too.  :-)
