Doggie Days!!

Oh boy, as soon as I saw this cute doggie digi image "Bismarck" from Mo's Digital Pencil I had to have it! This doggie looks like my beloved mini schnauzer Trinket who I lost 2 years ago--we always kept her a lil' shaggy like this cuz' she hated the groomers so much, lol! I still miss her so--she was a wedding present from my hubby and I miss her everyday! So anywho, I had to make my Bismarck into a black schnauzer, hee hee. I used the sketch from "A Spoon Full of Sugar #76" for my layout and the fab papers are new from Graphic 45.

The sentiment is from PTI's "Vintage Ornaments" (yes, this is my fave set), cut out with my Nestabilities Ribbon Trio and then I added some punched holly (from my MS punch) w/ PTI buttons for berries. All the papers were distressed with my Tonic Distress Tool & Distress Ink pad.

I colored this cutie with Copics, added white sparkly fluff to the fur trim on the cap and Shimmerz (new Antique Lace ) to the very LARGE BONE, LOL (my son says its a dino bone, hee hee)! And of course there are some stickles on there too :o) Wouldn't be one of my cards w/o some stickles, hee hee! I basically made this card just for me, LOL--it will sit in my craft room cuz' I love it so! Hope you like it too!

A "Rough" Day in the Life 4 of my 5 Cats!! LOL

Here's my cat Poncho all curled up for a mid-day nap--his favorite past time, LOL! He's such a cutie--always in the same room with me and follows me around along w/ the dogs. No such thing as private time in this house, LOL!

And here's my hubby's cat Trouble....er...I mean Tucker, LOL (cuz' he's always in trouble)!! He thinks he's a dog most of the time, is always into or on something he shouldn't be but he sure is a cutie. He decided that this game box was just the right dimensions for a nap, LOL! If there's a box around, Tucker will be in it :o)

This is my daughter's cat "Tinkerbell" (Tucker's sister)! She's almost as naughty as him, but in a more sly way. She is constantly howling in the middle of the night because she has a TREASURE for someone, usually a hairband but once she dropped a dead spider on Alexa's bed--that was PRICELESS, LOL!
And this is sweet Millie (Poncho's sister)! She is a big scaredy-cat, afraid of her own shadow but as sweet as can be! Never doing anything bad, she's the quiet cat of the house always hunting down our bugs, hee hee!
