Girls and their best friends!

There are 3 or 4 things to share with all today so I wanted to get right to it!

My first blogversary goal has been reached!  Woo Hoo! 150 followers already.  I know it appears to be 149 right now, however, it's only because this very undesirable creepy person needed to be blocked and deleted immediately!  Anyway, the Random chosen winner out of 38 entries is #19!!  That's Alethea from Lilodesigns!  I've notified her and just waiting to hear which of the three packages to be forwarded on!

Thank you every one of my friends and followers.  I truly want to say thank you for all of  your lovely comments, constructive criticism and inspiration too!  All of the entries till 8-30-2011 or 250 followers have two more opps to win!  So thank you for your help and I wish you all good luck!

Sponsor for Little Darlings

I've been given the opportunity to serve as a Guest Designer for the wonderful Little Darlings Challenge for the month of August!  I'm so honored and thrilled to get started working with the very talented DT!  Also, I can't wait to work with the very elegant and playful Little Darling rubber stamp images!  There is a challenge right now called "Girly" and I've decided to enter the projects on today's post in their challenge!  Come by and join me, they have great inspiration and wonderful prizes from Love to Stamp store where there are some terrific sales right now!

Lastly before my projects, I may be really late by comparison to some veteran bloggers to have found The Feline Playful blog!  A fabulous blog that lists the challenges ~ keeps them current per day or month etc ~ lists what the challenges are~  then, yes, believe it or not ~ announces the winners too!  I simply had to share Feline Playful blog with all of my followers.  They found me when I commented on a blog and she responded by telling me she posted my candy there!  They list current blog hops, candy available, DT calls, dictionary too!  If you havn't found them You've GOT to check it out!  

This is not my week and the post may be a little late as well, but better late than never when it comes to the sharing of great challenges for all of you to participate in!  Yep, the Diva's By Design challenge is new as of Wednesday and goes for two weeks.  The challenge is "Summer".   Please come by and join us and check out the Inspration from the DT's as well!  The sponsor is Di's  Digi Downloads with some great prizes!

So, having shared all of that,  here are my cards:  

Some of the info is scanty because I used up scraps on about 50 of these little beauties the other day so the DP's and copics are various this time.  However, I will always do my best to list them normally as I have followers that truly get assistance with the copic use from it!

On The Leash!

This week I want to post some of the more simple cards made for the vendor retail stores I supply.  The le'French Bulldog Boutique, in Bellair Mi, is such a great resource for "One of a kind" gifts.  They are in a very tourist like location where everyone goes to get away and find something special to remember their time there.  Everything from hats, shoes, apparael, jewelry and of course cards and much, much more! 

So for the new flowers challenge over at Diva's by Design sponsored by The Poodles Parlour. 

 I decided to show you this super simple (and inexpensive to make) card with the Stampavie image called "    Marguerite taking Ruben for a walk ".  There are 4 or 5 different hip and clever looking girls with their pups in this collection by Sarah K "Stampavie".                                  .

This card is simple:

cut one layer bassill stock with any nestabilities die

cut through two layers (folded bassill stock) with the same nestability die ( be sure to let one edge overhang slightly as to not cut it)

cut DP of choice with the same nestability die

then color image and cut out with nestability one size smaller and place on card vertically

embellish it and add sentiment!

DONE!

Challenges entered into:

Woodware ~ forgotten embelli (blue/black ribbon rope)
