Monochomatic Layout

This summer is just flying by so fast! It's time for another Thursday sketch challenge at Chicas Gettin Crafty. This weeks layout:

So this is my layout.  I know, its a pumpkin carving layout in August, but I have always wanted to scrap this picture of the Dachshund I carved into this pumpkin, but I just never had a layout in mind.  I also did this layout as a monochromatic layout with just a few punches of black to make the different shades of orange 'pop.'

July 28th Sketch

Wow I can't believe its almost the end of July already! Where did the summer go?  Well today is Thursday, so that means its time for the Lets Get Peachy weekly sketch!  So here is the sketch this week:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!! Well like most people, I love ice cream. I will eat just about any kind of ice cream with toppings on it. The dogs also love ice cream. We either buy them their own 'doggie' ice cream or they eat the ice cream right off of our spoon. They also enjoy licking out the bowl! Thanks for looking!

July 21st Sketch

This is the July 21st Sketch at Lets Get Peachy! Make sure you visit Lets Get Peachy to do your take of the sketch!

 This layout is my anti-boredom layout. Now I know you are asking, how is this an anti boredom layout, but let me explain. My 2 dogs are always running around doing something entertaining or playing with each other. This is one of those moments when they were resting next to each other in the chair, looking so cute. So even when they are laying in the chair together, they always have a way of making your day brighter by the little looks that they give or the way that they lay next to each other, as they are doing in these pictures. I just have to look at them, and my day is lifted. Thanks for looking!

Happy 6th Birthday Tinker!!

I cant believe it, but Tinker is 6 years old today but she will always be my little puppy!   It seem like we just got her yesterday.  As always, we bought a little cupcake for the girls to eat.  They enjoyed licking some of the frosting off the cupcake and then I cut up a little bit of the cupcake for them to eat.  As you can see, they enjoyed it!

Mommy's little helper

Tinker is always right beside me no matter where I go.  When I sit on the couch she sits on my lap or next to me.  So when I sit on the desk chair to work on craft stuff, shes right there with me, usually laying behind me in the chair, but sometimes she stands up like she is in the photos!  I wouldn't have it any other way!

Pet Expo

Brad and I like to go to the Pet Expo every year at the Expo Center. This year was no different. We like to see all the dogs and different things that they have for pets in general. Here are a few pics that we took while we were walking around.

This Great Dane is Green bean. He is 195 pounds and 44 inches from his shoulder blades to the ground! He eats 10 cups of food a day!! Brad loves this dog and thinks it should be our next dog to have!!

The County Prison has a K9 unit and they were at the show demonstrating how they use the dogs. They showed how the dogs find drugs in suitcases and how they train them to help apprehend people.

Cute doxie in the kissing booth.

Can't forget the dogs

These containers I altered for dog treats. I used crystal light containers and covered them with dog themed papers and ribbons. I had these cute dog bone tags that I used to put the dogs name on it. They were filled with dog biscuits!

Dog Christmas card

This is the card that I made for Tinker and Blossom to send to the other dogs/cats in the family. (YES, I know I'm weird, but I love my Doxies!!)

The doxie stamp and greeting, was purchased from 'CowTown Stamps'. I inked the 2 dogs to look like Tinker and Blossom, because this is exactly how they play!

Tinker & Blossom

This is a picture of Tinker & Blossom, waiting for their treat. They sit so well when there's a treat involved!!

Tinker's 4th Birthday!

Tinker turned 4 years old on June 8. I baked cupcakes for her and Blossom to eat. We put party hats on both of the girls but they didn't stay on long and it was hard to get pictures of them together. I can't believe we've had Tinker for almost 4 years already!
