stuff

Am getting in to the swing of Andrew being on night shifts.
Not Poppy though, she can't understand
how she is not allowed in the bedroom while he is sleeping,
let alone chew and chomp on her nylon bone beside him!

She may have been my idea but she is his girl!
I am more strict with her.


She is watching a cat in the garden in this photo.....
cats are scary and not to go near!


Right....what did I get done today.

Well over at The Sugar Bowl #2 challenge they want things in three's.

"use three different design papers
and three different types of embellishments on your cards!
No more, no less.
(by types of embellishments we mean, buttons, brads, flowers, ribbons, beads, bling etc)

Also if you can use three suagr nellie stamps you get entrered in the prize draw twice!

So here we have Hamish, Maggie and Angus the dog with his bone.
So that's three stamps.

I used the blue spotty paper, and blue paper that looks like water
and then tartan backing paper on it.
My three types of embellishments are the ribbon, the flowers
and the brads in the flower centres.

The inside.



I enjoyed making this, am not sure who to send it to as I am up to date with my image swaps.
Including extra ones I promised folk.
So ....was thinking I might offer it and some ribbons as a wee blog candy.
One each of 20 different images including the new Leanne Ellis set of six,
and the trio on the front of the wallet.
Also my fave one just now, Daisy.

What I will do is offer it and some other stuff next month
when it will be one year since I started this blog.
My hits counter has gone belly up twice now,
so has been removed.

It also covers the ABC Challenge which is W for wallet!
I love their challenges, and love looking to see what
they are coming up with for this weeks letter!
Be interesting to see what they do next week for X.....


Next is my ATC covers a couple of challeges too...
This Thursday are looking for something with whiskers!
It is of course a house mouse. Thanks to Chrissy for this cute guy.


Over at House Mouse Monday Challenge they are looking for an ATC.
I am trying out mixed media.
The wee thingy on the end of the green cord is a leaf stamped onto shirnk plastic.
I embossed the green white core card using my birdie cuttle bug folder.
Then sanded it a wee bit and used gold ink and walnet distressing ink on it.

I have had skeleton leaves for a while but never knew what to do with them!

Is it too much for an ATC?


you all doing ok?
much love Teen xx

Lauri said...

Wow you have been busy! I love reading about Poppy, too! Three stamps on a card...very very creative! and I love your ATCs. I have tried a few, but I seem to have a problem with them..maybe they are too small and always look incomplete to me? The mixed media is way cool, and really works!

Karen said...

Love this wallet and I think I really need Angus the Dog - he is just soo cute. I keep meaning to get some of these wallets done, but like everything else I am so full of great intentions.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
