A dog's life : )

It is going to be a beautiful spring day here....high near 50+ & there's a big bright sun out too!!  Doesn't that sound like the perfect day, now if only I didn't have to work : )

Had to share a new pic of Elvis today....how can that now make you smile??  My little fluff ball is 10 1/2 weeks old....I'm guess about 25lbs...it's starting to get hard to pick him up : (    Him & Wilson are still working things out, but they do seem to enjoy playing w/each other a little more.  Wilson keeps trying to share his bone w/Elvis & of course, all Elvis wants to do is chew on Wilson : )

Of course, my new card had to be "dog" related-lol.  I cut the dog scene out of a piece of Bella Blvd pp. The red pp is Crate Paper.  All the other papers are My Mind's Eye.  Used the Fiskar border punch & the Cricut for mini tag.  Added some twine & the bone button, oh yeah & inked allllll the edges.

 

Thanks for looking- enjoy the day!!!  Lynn

Happy sunny day!!

It's a bright sunny day here...still a bit chilly, but I think Spring is right around the corner : )   Hope everyone had a great Easter.  Ours was very relaxing.  We actually had a very relaxing weekend, even w/our 2 crazy dogs : )  Need to get to my new card & get to working....we have a yearly report due in 17 days-yuk!!!      

This card is a special order....they wanted a knitting b-day card....I originally thought that would be easy to do.  If you follow me, you know I love to use stickers, rub-ons, any type of embellies for my cards...I thought it wouldn't be that hard to find some "knitting" embellies- well, it was.  My mom had just bought these knitting stamps at Big Lots...kind of funny, cause I kind of wondered why she was buying them, but low & behold..........I'm soooo glad she did!!!  The knitting basket is all paper pieced together & pop dotted on.  Then added a little yarn w/regular pins (knitting needles).  I think most of the pps on this card is My Mind's Eye.  Used the Cuttlebug & nesties, the Marvy corner round.  Inked all the edges, added sentiment, pearls & ribbon.

Well off to work.  Have a great day- hope the sun is shining where you are!!!  TFL  Lynn

Introducing....ELVIS

hello peeps....sorry got lost again, that seems to be happening a lot lately.  Ever just have those days (weeks) where you are not sure what direction you are going in??  That's me lately : )    We are still fighting w/our computer, but I did finally sit down last night & work with it for a bit.  I felt sooooo bad that I hadn't shared any pics of our new addition w/anybody.  Plus, i felt bad that I had been neglecting my blog....I'm still making cards in between taking Elvis outside every 10minutes (not kidding),  refereeing Wilson & Elvis & just everyday house work...you know, just life.   I sound like I'm complaining,  I'm really not....though life has been crazy lately, it really has been enjoyable.

Well better get to  ELVIS....................

look at my little bundle of fur....pic taken this past weekend, he is a 9wk old Bernese Mountain Dog...as of last week (first vet visit) he weighed 18.2 lbs....I'd say over 20lbs now, I notice it when picking him up.  He doesn't mind going up the stairs, but has not ventured down yet.....I think part of that is because Wilson protects the stairs-lol.   Speaking of Wilson, he is doing okay w/his new brother.  Wilson tends to play kind of rough, so I'm always worried about Elvis getting hurt, but Elvis doesn't seem to mind, he dishes out probably more then he gets : )

I promise a card soon.  Have a great day!! If I don't get back here tomorrow..............HAPPY EASTER!!   TFL  Lynn

Happy Monday!!

Hello all......no I didn't fall off the face of the earth, just got lost for a bit : )  Actually, as I mentioned last month, had computer issues, that we temporarily fixed...notice I said temporarily.  We did get a new computer,but of course you need to set it up & transfer things over, all that fun, which I'm totally not into, so it stays at the bottom of my list.  My brother in law & wife stopped over on Saturday to set it up for us : )  Now I have to figure out the new computer w/Windows 8-yuk!!  

I've been working hard on cards this whole time though...it's a great stress reliever for me, plus I totally love to be surrounded by cute stickers & pretty papers : )  I've got some steady customer's that keep my busy w/their "special orders".  I've got 4 due to a lady this week & only half our done, hopefully tonight.

Though I mentioned new cards, I don't have any pics loaded of them yet, so I thought I 'd share this cutie w/you...look at my handsome Wilson w/his looong legs, he's watching tv here-lol.   I do have some BIG news though......we got a new puppy this past weekend, I thought it high time Wilson had a brother.............he doesn't exactly agree w/my thinking yet-lol.  We got an 8wk old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, his name is Elvis!!  (I promise pics w/in the next couple days)   Elvis is a chewer, he loves the carpets & he Wilson's ears. Wilson loves to bark at Elvis & then tries to rough house w/him....Elvis is too little right now for rough housing, but I know he'll give Wilson a run for his money someday.  It's funny to think, that Wilson doesn't realize this little guy is going to be bigger then him -lol. 

Have a great day!! If you need more smiles, feel free to come back & look at Wilson's pic...it works for me : )   TFL!  Lynn 

Wish I home sweet home today : )

It is a gray, chilly day...it's not sure if it wants to rain or snow............ this would have been the perfect day to sleep in & then make cards, a girl can dream : )    At least we are half way to the weekend & Survivor is on tonight, so I have tv to look forward too.  My husband is usually in control of the remote, I don't really mind as I'm usually making cards.  I've watched Survivor from day one, so he knows what we are watching tonight : )

I had a couple orders recently for "new home" cards.  My house is another Darcie Ucut, added the "K" heart from my stash, I think it's an ooold Target purchase.  The turq. pp is Simple Stories.  The green grass is My Mind's Eye.  Grass punch is Martha Stewart.  Not sure of the script pp, but can look it up, if you need to know : )

Well time to start working.  Have a great day!! TFL  Lynn

 

 

Happy Day : )

I'm trying to make this a goo day, at least that was my intention until I walked into work- yuk!  Well needless to say, this will be a quick post....boss already called & he's on his way too...double yuk!!  Mom & I had a great time this weekend!  Our show was very entertaining, we ate sooo much food & did some damage shopping, yup we hit all the craft stores -lol.

I've had a lot of special order cards over the last couple weeks, so my stash of b-day cards is low, so this ended up being b-day once I did the inside sentiment.   the image is a Darcie Ucut.  The plaid pp is an old piece from the Target $ section.  Hard to see in this pic, but I did add glitter to the flowers & then some bling.

Well, like I said, short post....have  a "happy day"!! TFL  Lynn

Half way to the weekend : )

Yup, as usual I'm counting down till the weekend : )  Mom is visiting this weekend, we are off to Priscilla Queen of the Desert this weekend at our local theater, and of course, shopping & eating....they say do what you are good at-lol.   It is cooold out this morning...can't wait for spring, really can't wait for summer : )

Work is busy & crazy, so need to get to my new card & get back to work. 

I made this card quite a while ago...can't think of the brands on much of any it, need more Dr. Pepper this morning : )  The blue plaid pp is Hobby Lobby.  The ribbon is from Target, the blue scalloped circle is Making Memories...a gift from my wonderful friend Starla (thanks, girlfriend).   Used my Marvy corner round punch & inked all the edges.  I also cut up a pearl flourish to fit.

Have a great day!!  TFL  Lynn
