Paper Smooches Pup

I adore the Paper Smooches dog stamp set!  This little one is my favorite.

Image and sentiment by Paper Smooches.  Papers are from my huge stash of doggie scraps.

Have an awesome day.

More doggies....

It's been a while since I've posted.  I've been crafting!  In fact, I've made a ton of cards since the beginning of the year.  I've even taken pictures of most of them.  I just haven't blogged them in the past month or so.

I've been doing an excellent job at keeping to my New Year's goal of using stamps that have never been inked, getting images that have been colored onto cards, and using my paper scraps to get rid of them.

This entire card was made with scraps.

Have an awesome day!  And thanks for visiting.

More doggies......

I *woof* how these two cards came together!  I inked the big doggie in a greyish ink.  I used scraps for the backgrounds.  The sentiments are from Paper Smooches.  Unknown manufacturer of the doggie stamp.

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day.

Doggie stamps

Oh boy....or oh doggie would be more accurate.  I have 3.8 kazillion dog stamps.  After all, I am a dog lover and the focus of my paper crafting for many many many years has been doggies.  So many of those stamps have never seen ink.  But now they are!  After all, my Craft-olution for this year is to ink up my uninked stamps....in case you've forgotten. ;)

I have no idea who the manufacturer is of this stamp.  I used pink ink from A Muse studios.  I used scraps in making each of these cards.

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 9

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Theresa's blog.  You can start the hop from the beginning at Lisa's blog.

 It's day 9 of 12 days of fabulous Holiday projects!


Today's project was a true labor of love.  I've been saving pickle jars for well over a year with the intention of making them into a craft project.  What I didn't really count on was having to get the pickle smell out of a pickle jar before using them.  It was quite the adventure with a lot of trial, error and a curse word or two thrown in just because I could, but finally they were pickle smell free!  I repurposed my pickle jars into homemade dog treat jars!!  At the time I took these pictures, I hadn't made my dog treats yet.  I filled one of the jars with store bought treats and left the rest of the jars empty.  I ended up with 14 of these!  Good thing I know a lot of dog owners.

I used Create A Critter 2 to create my holiday dog.  He's cut at 3.5 inches, I hid the face cuts and used PK dog faces stamp.

I used paw print ribbon to wrap around the lid...mostly to hide the expiration date of the pickles. LOL

Overall I used three different PK doggie face stamps.  I used a white gel pen on the eyes and a red gel pen on the tongue.  

Personally, I like this doggie face stamp the best!  

 A paw print border punch was used on the red cardstock.

I heat embossed the lid with a stamp I got in the $1 bin at Michaels.  The dog bone is also from Create A Critter 2.


Up next is Jillian!  

See you tomorrow with another new Holiday 2012 project!  Have an awesome day.
