Pastel Puppy Scene

I was inspired by a card where the person combined this tree image and the dog image. What a great idea! I stamped with versamark and then added pastels.

There are actually 4 stamp sets used on this card - D is for Dog, Nature Silhouettes, Woodgrain, Four Frames.

I also used my BRAND NEW framelits shapes! Yippee. What fun!!



The colors on here are crumb cake, choc chip, lucky limeade (distressed) and pear pizazz.

Happy Birthday - I lick you a lot!

This card is for my husband's birthday - TODAY! Happy birthday!
He loves dogs and he loves jokes on his cards, so this is what I made for him. I hope he likes it. I tried to use more "masculine" type colors.

Before & After - puppy!

Ok, while I was on the topic of Before & After cards, it made me think of doing a before and after dog picture.

Our dog (Cocker X Cavalier) just went to the groomer a week or so ago. Here's the before and after pics.





Now I KNOW you'll agree that she looks terribly cute in BOTH pictures! (Which she is!)

Kia is almost a year and a half. We're really looking forward to getting involved in Agility and Flyball again after we move!

Our dog Kia

Presently, we are very fortunate to own our little treasure, Kia! Her dad was a Cocker Spaniel, her mom was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. In truth, she's a mixed breed, but some people would call her a COCKALIER.

She is a super little dog, great with the kids. She's good at relaxing and super at playing! She's so quick and just LOVES agility!

Dogs we've owned and loved!

We have known and loved many dogs and I have to mention them here!

First was Cinnamon, a mixed breed adopted from the SPCA. Unfortunately, due to my dad's allergies, I had her only for a month.

The first dog that I got to keep was Lucky, an American Eskimo. I got him in Grade 8! He lived to 14 years old. He was a wonderful trick dog and I loved doing agility with him.

April was the next dog I got the pleasure of owning. I adopted her at 6 months old from the SPCA. She was a sweet girl that looked like a miniature Shepherd and had gorgeous coloring! Later when we moved away from the acreage, we had to give her away to a good acreage home.

Sara was Dan's dog when we got married. She was a hyper mixed breed. Sara was wonderful at pulling and I had a lot of fun teaching her FLYBALL!

Dante was our wonderful calm boy. We rescued him as our first year Anniversary gift to each other! We don't know what kind of mix he was. He was very consistent in agility, but a bit under the course time.

We got this cute puppy from our friends. Her mom was a Border Collie X. Wag lived with us for a short while. When I found out I was pregnant with my second baby, we just knew we didn't have the proper time to spend attention to all our dogs, so found this energetic girl a good acreage home.

Our next dog was Tango, was a Lab X Golden Retriever. She was extremely shy and scared and training her in agility did a lot to help her become more confident. Sadly, she started running around with the neighbor's dog and got hit by a car.
