I just got the new Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs and just could not resist to get to work on them! Yes, I have the birds and cats too! I have a bunch of them colored and will be hopefully putting some of them on my blog soon.
I used my Cricut to cut out the scalloped circle, circle and the "What?". They could easily be cut out of Spellbinders, or whatever other dies or machine you have. The dog is both a stamp and die. I used my Sizzix to cut it out. I still love my Sizzix and dies too! I think I just love all things paper! I colored the dog with Copics and then took the colorless blender to add
polka dots to him. (How could I resist?) There is glossy accents on
the eyes, nose and tongue. He looks like he is trying to hear something and not doing such a good job!
The "What" font is one I downloaded and I believe it's called, "Great day". By keeping the title simple, I can use almost any sentiment I want on the inside of the card.
I used a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder for the scalloped circle as it looked to flat and boring without any embossing. I love their 6x6 embossing folders! The ribbon has been in my stash forever and it's from Making Memories. I have several multi packs of this with other nice ribbons in it. I have no idea where I got the little flowers or the bobbles from.
Unfortunately, this past year has been very difficult for me as I had a head injury. It made it very difficult to even think about crafts, let alone do any! I am hoping I will be able to not only craft, but add my makings to my blog. That was one of the hardest things for me to do... work with the computer or watch T.V. I'm glad to be heading back to the more normal me. I'd love to say I'm "normal" but I don't think I've ever been that! Lol!

Drinker Bell
Here is a shirt and card I made for my daughter. She loves wine. (She's not a wino though! lol!) The inside reads: "I Tink you should have a Happy Birthday!" It was an idea that came from Facebook: Let's Learn Cricut Explore by Heidi Varden. The designer paper and sentiment are from Kaiser Craft "Violet Crush". I used a Recollections card base and envelope. These are so easy, I use them a lot!
My first Drinker Bell was a bust. The first OOPS was I put in "glitter vinyl" NOT "glitter iron on vinyl"! What a nightmare it was to weed. Then, after taking the time to weed and put everything together, line it up, center it, wash it, blah, blah blah, I managed at the last moment to flip the bottle onto the body of Tink and iron it together! Oi! All of the work, not to mention having to buy another shirt, was toast! PLUS I didn't have any more HTV! I went mooching and found one piece I could get. Phew, saved by the bell! This was for her birthday and she needed to receive it today!
I am so loving the Design Space and Explore. I can't wait until they make it usable off-line as well!
