No Ifs, Ands or Butts about it…

No Ifs, Ands, or Butts about it… Have a Happy Birthday!

Since 2013 I have been making Basset and Beagle cards for one of my co-workers to give to his mom, girlfriend and aunt. So his mom’s birthday is Feb 4th and Aunt’s birthdays is Feb 5th. So I found these adorable “butt” portraits of dogs and paired with this saying I came up with these birthday cards! Aunt is beagle owner and mom is Basset!! Which then gave me an idea for Valentine’s card for his girlfriend so stay tuned for that one!!

Beagle Christmas Sled

I’m always on the lookout for cute Beagle’s and Basset Hounds because there is a guy at work that has a standing order for his mom and aunt to get a card every holiday and birthday with a Beagle or Basset Hound on it. A lot of the time he finds photos on the internet and sends them to me so I can’t post them on my blog but this year his Aunt got a card made with a new digital stamp, Christmas Sled, from Imagine That!…Digis by Kris.

I was in such a hurry to get his order done I was only able to take a crappy photo of the original just to document what I made her this year (have to keep a record so I don’t duplicate over the years!) So I cut the left over paper so I could make another one and ended up cutting it for a rectangle card even though the original was a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 square card.  I decided to make it any way and then make a square one too! So now I have a couple cards ready for next years craft sale!

Happy Howl-o-ween!

As you can see I combine 2 of the digis in this set, Happy Jacks,  and LOVE how it turned out!! I have a standing order for Beagles and Basset Hound cards so I was soooo happy to see this image and the image she released this passed weekend Yo Ho Ho…you will be seeing that soon. I went with colors that the card challenge at Scrapbook.com required, purple, black, green and orange, and I liked this paper when I put it all together. I really like the larger area the sketch at Mojo Monday called for so I used that sketch as my inspiration.
