Happiness is a Warm Puppy - Charles Schultz

Did you know that October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month?  We are Words 2 Craft By have proud moms of a variety of shelter dogs and cats.  We want to use this month's challenge to encourage the adoption of pets from shelters.

I made this Z fold card using the Paper Cut's Triple Circle die.  Come join us in our challenge - Annie has a great set of the Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs up for grabs!!!

Purple and Green Halloween with Lawn Fawn

I love this Lawn Fawn holiday raccoon!

 In the first version, I thought the sky was a bit too light.  I like the darker one much better.  The background was inked with Distress Inks, then stenciled with the Memory Box Garden Floral Confetti and silver Delicata ink.  I used a regular graphite pencil to color the raccoon, and Derwent watercolor pencils for the pumpkin.  The sentiment was computer generated and printed on vellum.  I' sharing this with the Cards in Envy Purple and Green and the Mod Squad Halloween Fun challenges.   Come play along with us at Words 2 Craft By Happiness is a Warm Puppy challenge - Annie has a great set of Tim Holtz Crazy Dog stamps as the prize this month!!!

Gatefold Card Redo

While I liked the gate fold card that I made a week or so ago, I thought I could do better.  

Yes!  I like having more layers of the stars, and this sparkly paisley paper works well.  I am going to share this with the House of Cards gate fold challenge also.

Come play along with the Happiness is a Warm Puppy challenge over at Words 2 Craft By!!

Gatefold Card

The House of Cards challenge this month is to create a gate fold card.  I haven't made many of these cards, but I really enjoyed making this one.  I used my die cutting machine a LOT, and I have more than one fold so I can enter the Scor-Pal seasonal challenge.  I do love my Scor Buddy!

The patterned paper was embossed using Darice Assorted Stars,  The "latch" was cut with Spellbinder nesting stars.  The sentiment is from Kaisercraft and stamped in Delicata silver. 

Come play along with us at W2CB!  Our October challenge is Happiness is a Warm Puppy!

ABC, Anything But A Card

The Mod Squad Challenge this week is Anything But a Card.  Some years ago, I made boxes of gift tags for my friends and family members.  Every year since, I fill their boxes with new tags.  This challenge prompted me to get going on this year's batch.  Here are a few:
