Cappy's Got a Gift for Otsu

I'm sure having fun with Sister Stamps Release 15.  The possibilities are endless.   Here's a flip card with Cappy and his gift to Otsu.  For dimension, I paper-pieced the gift and cut a bit around the tip of Cappy's paw so he could "hold" the gift.

And here's a peek on the flip side with Otsu playing with his gift....a fun ball of yarn.

For this card, I used these fun items:

Party Favors for Buddy's Doggie Pal, Kiki

Celebrating our pooch, Buddy's birthday wouldn't be complete without sharing the goodies I posted the past 2 days with his doggie pal, Kiki (Jenny's dog).   Here's a tag I made featuring no other than "Kiki" from Sister Stamps Release 15.  Awww, look at her sweet and innocent pose...sooooo adorable.   If you haven't stopped by Sister Stamps blog yet, oh you must read Jenny's super sweet story about Kiki.  Click here and you'll definitely have some "awwww so cute" moments.   (Jenny, I'll get the goodies over to you soon.)    :-)

I think these darlings are totally irresistible.  

THANK YOU Jenny and Denise for inviting me to be a Guest Designer.  I had such a blast that my mojo kicked into overdrive big-time and I couldn't stop.  I created several more cards using images from Sister Stamps Release 15 and prior releases which will be posted in the upcoming days for the next couple of weeks.    HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO SISTER STAMPS!!!!  LET THE CELEBRATION CONTINUE.  WOO-HOO YAH!!!  

Oh, and as Jenny mentioned in her 6/28 post on Sister Stamps blog, yes, she introduced me to  stamping several years ago and for that I am truly, truly, truly grateful.  THAAAAANK YOU JENNY!!!!!!!!   I literally LIVE to stamp.....for real.   Wanna hear something funny?   Being such a novice back then (like I didn't know anything), she said I needed to get  double-sided tape.  Well guess what I bought, Scotch 2-sided tape....hee-hee-hee......wrong!  I've learned a lot since then from Jenny and all of you amazing ladies in blogland.   Thank you to all of you for your creative inspiration.  Baking "used to" be my passion.  That's history now.  Ha-ha.

Hugs, muah to you all!

Another Doggie Favor

As mentioned in my post yesterday, we celebrated our pooch, Buddy's  birthday this month.    Here's another favor, this one is filled with "yummy" rawhide.  "Doogie" from Sister Stamps Release 15 is featured on this triangle goodie box.   I just love this adorable image as he happily trots along to munch on his yummilicious bone.  

  Here's a pix of Release 15.  Wouldn't you love to add these cuties to your collections?

Celebrating Buddy's Birthday

As Sister Stamps celebrate their 2nd anniversary, that puts me in celebration mode.  Our pooch, Buddy turned 4 (well, in human years) a couple of weeks ago so I thought I'd make a treat basket filled with Milk-Bone Trail Mix to celebrate his birthday.  When we got Buddy, he was only 8 weeks old, a bit shy, but oh so adorable.  I just couldn't hug him enough.  On my sidebar is my all-time favorite pix of him.  He's like 1/3 dog, 1/3 frog because of how he often lays down with his back legs stretched out, and 1/3 human because he literally parks his butt on a low step with his two front paws on the ground in front of him.   

The happy little pooch on this box is Cappy from Sister Stamps Release 15.  Hmmmm, I wonder if we can teach Buddy to do this trick.  Do you think he's too old to learn a new trick????   :-)

Here's a pix of the 4 cuties from Release 15....all so sweet.
