I can not remember if I have ever used this cut or not, but I think this little doggie is so adorable.

Now that you have seen my project here, go over to the BBTB2 challenge blog check out what my talented DT sisters have created to inspire you. Then, go create "The dog days of Summer" project  and link up your own  card, project or layout.

THURSDAY-- THROW BACK THURSDAY-CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone,

Our high was  62 today. I am sure some of you folks with the unbearable temps and humidity are wishing you were having 62 as your high -- our low will be 48.
 I found quite a few challenges to work on. I realized for some, I did not have the right product, I went to our local craft store only to find out they did not carry the brand. I did not have time today to drive 1 hour to either Michael's or Joann's.  I will post separate postings for each, unless they work in the same challenge  this is for
Throw back Thursdays
 The challenge is to use a lite cartridge--- with some bling
The only lite cartridge I have is Four legged friends--- Have you all seen a lot of that one lately?  I chose something different than all the animals  I had previously worked on. This is the bird cage cut out of glitter paper @ 3 1/2 inches. For the bling  I used  DCWV glitter paper and  Imaginisce studs applied with the i-rock tool.

The embossing folder is from the Asian collection, the chocalate brown card stock is PTI and the craft paper is from the paper co.
The stamp is from inkadinkadoo,  the eyelet is from making memories

MONDAY- AGAIN - Another no legged friend from my Four Legged Friend w MPS stamp set punny -licious and the begining of the Creata- critter sereis

This looks like the last card in this series from the Four legged Friend with My Pink Stamper stamp set Punny-licious.  My goal is to use every stamp in the set so I will now move on to the Create-a Critter cartridge to finish using the stamps, which they were originally designed to accompany.  Here is the first card from that series Create a Critter and MPS stamp set punny-licious. I have 10 more stamps to use, so keep watching for the next ten  cards. The sentiment on this card goes to everyone.

HAVE A MOO-VELOUS DAY

HAPPY SUNDAY -------- Four Legged Friends and MPS stamp set series

Good morning  Everyone,
This is my NO legged friend from my Four Legged Friends  cartridge with My Pink Stamper stamp set Punny Licious.
I thought what better day to show a snake than on Sunday as a reminder-- of the story of Adam & Eve in the garden of Eden. This one probably lied to get on the 4 legged friend cartridge and said it had four legs.
It is actually a pretty good looking snake. It reminds me of when my nephew had one and my sister was looking all over the house for it, because it got out of its aquarium , it ended up, wrapped around the top of the washing machine

Whoooo loves you--- not the snake.  Remember they lie. Anyway, I hope you are still enjoying this series and not getting sick of it. I am just loving doing it. I love these papers and the images are great, and the stamps make my pitiful stamping skills look like I know what I'm doing-- Thank you Robyn, for the stamps you make..

SATURDAY- FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS and MPS STAMPS

Happy Saturday morning everyone,
Here is another installment of four legged friends along with My Pink stamper stamp set punny-licious.

I just love how this one came.
I did it again this week I made a card and forgot to link it up to the challenge-- What am I going to do with myself---
Hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend.

More- Sunday Spring cleaning my Blog-

Spring cleaning, 
      I thought I'd give the old blog a face lift something more light and springy,

also  I'm sharing another Four- legged friends with MPS stamp set punny-licious with you.
Yes I'm grasping at straws here, there is no crab in four legged friends, but the turtle has a shell  and I'm trying not to use the stamps I've already used from the set . I'm challenging myself to use every stamp in the set. It looks like I may have to move over to the Create a critter set to finish the stamps.  When I do the design will change, stay tuned.
Next week I will be having a give away come back.
I'm also a little better at adding blinkies, so watch, yours may be on here. Even though I don't have one of my own yet.
Any suggestions??????????

SATURDAY- more FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS and MPS STAMPS

Happy Saturday,
The rain is suppose to come this evening and last through until Monday. A bit crowded at the gym today, I got some errands done and I'm in for the day now. I love it!! I love being at home. I'm back working on my B&W and plaid series with the four legged friends and the MPS stamps. This makes # 9 in the series, although the first eight were vertical the next few will be horizontal.

SUNDAY-

This is #8 in the series. I don't want it to end but I can't keep them looking the same with out these papers. So we shall see what happens tomorrow. Check back and see. I thought the sentiment went real good with the poodle. I don't know why?  Maybe you could tell me what you think, if that sentiment fits and why?  I am looking forward to working on something new.

SATURDAY

Here goes #7 in the Four Legged Friends and My Pink Stamper stamps set
series. I can not tell you how much fun it is working on this series. I love the colors and the papers and they are cutting beautifully.

FRIDAY

I love this little Chihuahua isn't it just stinkin' cute?

O.K. so this is # 6 in the series I ran out of striped paper  after my 7th and 8th in the series, if had an imagine I could print all I wanted, or if I had a digital of this card stock. There's  something to think about, oh well , looks like I'll have to do a M  or J  run this weekend. So I will be posting  7  on Saturday and 8 on Sunday. I sure hope I find this paper .  Thanks for stopping by to visit I love when you come by and I love reading all the comments.

THURSDAY--

Good Morning,
This is #5  in my --- My four legged friends with the My Pink Stamper stamp series.
 I have been so busy setting up my E2 and cleaning up my art studio that I have not been creating as much. It is in my head though I'm just biting at the bit to get back into the saddle of creating, that is why this is the posted card for today. I hope you enjoy. I will try to find a challenge for this one later.

Have a good day everyone.

WEDNESDAY- E2 arrived last night -#4 in 4 legged friends& MPS stamp series

The first card I made from this cartridge, is really cute , but I do not think it goes with the series so I will call this one #4 in the series. I am not quite sure yet how many I will have  in this set of-------------------------
  My four legged friends with the My Pink Stamper stamp series.
I have two more that I will post Thursday and Friday.  My E2 arrived last night . Looks just like this

It weighs about 20 lbs in the packed box. Once I got it out of the box it seemed lighter than the Expression and more streamlined. I have to say there is a bit of learning to do. I want the screen to work like the gypsy and it doesn't.  I want to move the blade like I do with my expression and that is not happening either. There is no  chirp when when it is turned on. However, it does seem quieter and faster and takes up less space in front.
I've just been playing with the installed cartridges which are really cute. The decals cartridge has one function key dedicated to cricut heads.  I have to hit the gym today, I won't get a chance the rest of the week.

MORE-TUESDAY-

SATURDAY

I can not believe it is already the last day of the month, one quarter of the year is behind us now. I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial I posted yesterday on "Making your own dimensional s".  Here is the bird card that I made  using my homemade dimensional s.
             I just got my first set of My Pink Stamper Stamps and the set I chose was "punny-licious"
I love them. I am working on a series of these cards, I'm using only the MPS stamps for this set of cards. There are 25 stamps on this set - I don't know what took me so long to get these stamps they are adorable.  I'm sure I will be getting more. I'm use the cartridge Four legged friends- It cracks me up because there are birds and snakes on here --- WHERE ARE THEIR FOUR LEGS?
The image is cut at 3.5 and the card is 4.25 x 5.5 I'm using PTI stampers white for the base
and me and my big ideas for the B&W card stock K & co for the other

FRIDAY-making your own dimensionals

Good Morning everyone,
The wedding has really captured everyone's attention. I know I enjoyed seeing it this morning relived- I did not stay up to watch it at 1:30 in the morning my time.
It was beautiful - I promised I would give you a tip Here it is in Video form. Toward the end I had a little technical glitch, because I also wanted to show you that you could use and ATG gun in a similar way or double sided sticky tape, score tape or terrifically tacky tape.  They all work just fine in case you do not have a XYRON
