I used the Pawsome Holiday stamp set along with a couple of the gorgeous papers and one of the tags from the Add-On bundle.  

I'm loving the gold shimmer on the paper - and added my own to the 

star on top of the puppy tree with decofoil gel and a leftover scrap of gold foil.  The puppy tree is 

popped up on foam to give it more dimension.

Loss of Beloved Pet

Hello crafty friends.

Today I have a couple cards I made for friends/family

who have lost beloved pets recently.

This is such a sad reason to make a card.

There's a perfect stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

called Furry Angels for these type of cards.

When challenged with making difficult subject

cards, I look for sketches to give me a framework

to focus on.  The current Freshly Made Sketches

sketch #382 was perfect for keeping it simple

and yet beautiful.  Both of the cards use it. 

Both images are colored with copic markers & fussy cut.

Here's the first one - I colored it to look 

like my sister's sweet Jack Russell Terrier

named Jackie Ringo.  He was such a sweetie. 

And here's the second for my friend

I'm sharing these cards in the following challenges:

Top card

Alphabet Challenge Blog - A is for Animals

Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challeges FFC#276 - Always Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Animal Antics

The Twisted Challenges #10 - Use Animals and Give Them Wings

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #471 -- Use TWO stamps

Hi there and thanks for stopping in to visit my blog today!

We have a new theme challenge for you this week at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

For Challenge #471 we want to see you use two main

stamped images  on your creation.  These can be from 

the same set or two different sets.  

Pull out your Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and pick two
to use on your creation.  We can't wait to see what
you make to sure with us.  It doesn't have to be a
card.  Your creation could be a scrapbook page,
an altered item, a 3D project or an ATC (just to
name a few options).  Just follow the theme
and you're eligible to be entered into the monthly
draw for a fabulous $40 gift card to the KKS Shop!

For my DT card today 

I picked two of the adorable main images from 

CUDDLES THE PUPPY for my card - take a peek:

The images are colored with copic markers.  The fun, bright 

papers and doily are from  Doodlebug Design.  

The enamel dots are from KKS RAINBOW DOTS collection.  

My favorite embellishment to add to cards most

definitely has to be enamel dots.  What's yours?

I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:
Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenges FFC#272 Always Anything Goes

Pugs and Kisses

Hello!  I'm so happy to be blogging today after about 

6 months of very little crafting time and no blogging. 

Our family has had a LOT of changes since February.

I started a new job, we sold our house, downsized into a 

new place, our daughter graduated high school, our son 

finished his first year of graduate schooling and got married.  

And...tomorrow we move our daughter to college and become 

empty-nesters. EEEK!  I'm not so sure I like the sound 

of that last part of the sentence above.  It will be a change for 

us to be sure!  Thankfully she isn't moving terribly far away.   

Anyway...back to the reason for this post.  I was asked by 

a friend to make a small card for one of her friends who loves pugs.
 I jumped at the reason to get crafty and color with my copics again.

She wanted it to be small (less than 4 inches) to fit on a special gift 
she was making, a pug on it ( I chose three  because she has three)
and lots of glitter. Oh dear... anyone who knows me knows that
I'm not a huge fan of glitter. I can't handle the mess it leaves
everywhere and it seems like you find it forEVER - LOL.

But I do like glitter paper (much cleaner), so that's what I used.

I used the sketch from the Mix It Up Challenge #46 at SugarPea Designs. 

I used the Caring Critters clear stamp set and dies from 

SugarPea Designs. I love this sweet set! 
I made the sentiment on my computer because that's what
she wanted it to say.
I found some glittery washi tape to add to the sentiment too. 

Here's the finished 3 1/2" square card. She loved it! 

I'm entering the following challenges too that fit for this card:

2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Challenge #17 August 2018

Crafty Animals Challenges #17 Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps and More #306 Anything Goes
Craft Rocket Challenges #51 Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!
I hope to be back soon and sharing more of my crafty
makes!  Hugs and happy crafting to all of you.  D
