Kindness....

A very simple card using a punch and a SU sentiment. I have seen similar cards and thought they had such a lovely effect with so few things!

Dog of the Week

Time for another gorgeous greyhound looking for love!

Woody is waiting to be rehomed by The Oxford Retired Greyhound Trust.

Woody is a boy with soft loving nature who has run in 73 races, the last one being on the 7th September 2008.   Since then, Woody has been waiting for a home to retire to.

With Woody’s soft nature, it is thought he would be an ideal pet for any family, though he has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats.

Lovely bubbly!

The lovely Clare over on CMLI set the June Challenge of 'celebrate and open a bottle'. I did try and come up with a spin on it but the only thing I could think of was opening a bottle of liquid pearls which I have never used before!

I also added some stickles for the sparkle around the glass and around the image.

I used an embossing folder to add more bubbles.

Dog of the Week

We have another lovely boy this week who is looking for a home courtesy of  Oxford Retired Greyhound Trust.

Sid is described by his Trainer as a "Gentleman" is clean within the kennels - he has all the qualities that you would want in a dog.   Sid last raced in January 2009 and has had 104 Races - Sid does not have a liking for domestic dogs and therefore we assume that he would not be suitable with cats either.

Dog of the Week

I am supporting my local Retired Greyhound Trust  (Oxford) by raising awareness for them as they attempt to rehome these lovely dogs.

Roly  is a good looking blue boy who recently arrived from Ireland where he had 26 races - he only had 2 Races at Oxford when he sustained an injury to his wrist on the 08.03.12 which ended his racing days

Roly although being a very loving dog to humans is not good with other dogs/small animals so therefore he would need to be the only dog/pet in the family - because of this it is felt that Roly would need an Owner who has had some experience

Just For You

*2nd post of the day please scroll down*

As this Bank Holiday has mostly been wet I decided to go for Summer colours for my card and knew which little sweetie I wanted to use.

There were a couple of Challenges that I had in mind when I made this card and I really should be using these more as I have so many of their stamps!

I used some of my favourite Martha Stewart punches and a Fiskars butterfly punch.

Papers are First Edition Spring Drop and the orange gingham ribbon is from a Challenge win. Have you guessed who is it yet?

Happy Engagement!

My bil has recently become engaged and I wanted to make an engagement card for the happy couple. I used stickles to add some sparkle around the balloons.

I had already chosen the papers - Nitwits 'Affection' and had a new Penny Black stamp which I thought would be perfect. I used pink and white twine to tie the tags together.

I used my Martha Stewart corner punch to add a bit more detail and some lovely pink gems which I had in my stash.

I used my heart punch to punch out an extra two hearts to add on to the card.
