Puppy Love?

Brodie is over while his Mum goes out for the evening.
Poppy is delighted, Brodie's mum brought raw hide bones for both doggies!!!
Only problem is Poppy wants the bit Brodie has,
Brodie wants the bit Poppy has,
and so it goes on...........and on.....and on...

It is actually doing Poppy the world of good!
Saying that.....as I type this, she is getting carried away & being a bit
too boisterous.
She has just nipped him as he was gnawing her foot!
He gives as good as he gets and always had the last nip!
She corners him and rugby tackles him!
He stands underneath her and bites her feet!


Sue, Brodie's mum has a new job in a new office,
so I altered this cube note holder for her.





I am not happy with the rub on paw prints.
I think I may have had them too long.
I used my usual tool to apply them, which normally dose the job.
But bits were well & truly stuck to the plastic,
No mater how many I tried they just didn't come off as cleanly as normal.
I settled for the best applied pieces for the holder.


This is from Poppy to Brodie for Valentines.


This was the last of my Valentines Ribbon & it had a crease in it,
Hope it smooths out straight.


And to Archie..who lives with Shirleyanne.


I forgot about the animal brads until I was finished Brodie's card!

sniffs & sneezes

Its snowing thick and fast here today,
and I am full of this blasted cold again!
I don't think it has ever completely gone away.

Anyway, here is a few cards
I have done over the last few days.

This one is one I started last week
following Mada's sketch on JCBC.
It is from a few weeks ago, so too late to enter it.

But I couldn't get round to doing it before
and it is such a pretty sketch I wanted to try it out.

The flower is made of heart stamps
that came free in a magazine.
I really like heart flowers just now!
The text is using my cuttle bug.
I will enter it on arty girlz challenge
Who are looking for " flowers"
Also One Stop Craft Challenge want circles.
The flower is on a circle base, the brads are circles
The button is round & there are wee circles
or dots on the hearts.

The next one is also from JCBC sketches #18
is by my lovely friend Amanda who has loads of snow!!
It is ment to have a sentiment on it but I
didn't want to add the sentiment I made on the computer cause the person it is for reads my blog!!

I am not sure who sent me the pink cuttlebug card.
I layered it on silver mirror card.
The naughty or nice was also a swap & it is on pink mirror card.
I used silver ink pad to stamp wee
snowflakes on the shimmery card.

The last card is also a Christmas card.
Part of my plan to get a head start on Xmas cards this year. I have now a grand total of
.....................3!!!

This one is following a sketch by
Laura at 2 sketches 4 you!
They do the most beautiful sketches.

You know I am not that keen on FF bears.
I have real problems getting my shading right.
But I do love the backing papers you get from them,
and this is using one of their Xmas pads.

Andrew is doing much better.
Thank you for all your emails & messages asking how he was.

He is hobbling along, but has been seen by my lovely
therapist friend who did some treatment on him
and that has speeded up his recovery !

He did make our friend a beautiful Birthday cake

We hid it in the cupboard, it was very yummy.

It was all a bit too much for Poppy.
She had a lovely time with Brodie,
but wanted to snuggle in with him and have a sleep.

But he was too busy with a squeaky ball to sleep!

Every time she snuggled closer, he moved away!
He is coming round again this evening.
His mum is going out to a party
and he is having another play date with Poppy dog,
no point in picking up all those toys!


Stay warm!
Be back later with some photos we have taken .

Love Tina xx
