Dog Days

I am so ready for the Dog Days of Summer--I would be happy if spring would arrive and stay for a while.  We are getting a teaser today in Montana but it is still snowing every couple days it seems.  Today's post is a sympathy card that I made for my dear friend and downline, Denice.  She lost her yorkie a while back and it was devastating for them.

It uses the D is for Dog set, some of the new baker's twine from the summer mini, some pearl accents, along with a little sponging.  I used early espressso, riding hood red, and white cardstocks. 

The inside of the cards are just as fun as the outside and this one showcases the new postage stamp punch from the summer mini.  I hope it helped to brighten her day!

Oh Baby~~~

Today's post uses the baby tees jumbo wheel found on page 70 of the current idea book and catalog. It makes a cute baby card.  Notice the paper piecing on the baby tee~~~a fun technique.

Other things used are:

stamps:  Itty Bitty Backgrounds (retired), teeny tiny wishes

paper:  DSP stack in subtles, whisper white cs, bashful blue cs, scrap of celery cs

punches:  curly label, scallop circle 2 3/8", eyelet border

Ink:  marina mist, bashful blue

Other:  subtles button, bakers twine in white (summer mini peek), certainly celery ribbon, Big Shot, polka dot embossing folder, circles #2 die, glue dots and dimensionals.

Speaking of babies, I thought I would share a few calving pictures with you today as well, I am hoping we can get rid of snow and slop one day soon.

Above is cleaning the corral area as the slop is getting deep!

Jeff and Prince checkin' heifers on spring break!  Isn't that what every college student wants to do on spring break~~~come home and work????
