Lil Chilly

And so the Christmas rush has begun! I have now made my first Christmas card of the year :) I used the colors of the Peachy Keen Stamps photo inspiration challenge since penguins are not quite the same as ducks LOL. I wanted a little bit of a snow effect so I used the Snow Marker by Marvy. Not to sure what I think about it. Maybe it just takes a little practice.
Enjoy!

3-D Peachy Challenge

This week I used the new Peachy Keen Stamps stamp of the month for the 3-D: Fall Sports challenge. I stamped my own backgrounds on both blue and orange cardstock and then layered them together to make my pinwheel. The football in the set was perfect for my center! My DH snatched this up right away and placed it with his football collection. Guess he liked it.
Enjoy!

Trick or treaty...

It's another Anything Goes week for the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. Every year we camp down at the beach the weekend before Halloween and I like to have a little something for our younger camping companions. These little bags are just the right size and the right amount of candies for the little ones. For my coloring I used my Prismacolor pencils I just got for my birthday from my DH (that I ordered of course hehe). I got a to good to be true deal I think. I got the 150 piece set for $126.99 final cost. I believe they go for more than 2x that at Michaels and Joanns. I think I did an ok job in my coloring but it's gonna take some practice for sure. Hope you all like my little project.
Enjoy!

Our Little Jager

This week I made a cute little fire hydrant chipboard mini album for our Pembroke Welsh Corgi Jager. Isn't he cute? And full of EVERYTHING!! Love him!
Enjoy!
 
 
And a pup was born
 
That's something that would have been good to know. Jager should have been the star of the movie Marley and Me. LOL
 
Before the hour was up that poor chicken was missing it's innards

He was being good cause he ate 2 sprinkler heads.
 
Jager was actually just being good here.
 
Jager LOVES toys. He has to carry one at all times. That kong toy was actually stuck on his lower jaw. We have no idea how he did it. He waddled around the backyard happy as came be with it stuck there LOL.

Here is was chewing on his bed and told to stop.

Jager wanted so bad to play with Shelly but Shelly doesn't like playing with him. But she did love to tease him.
 
Neuter Day
 
Jager LOVES to swim!!!!
 
Like I said....Jager is full of EVERYTHING...even bubbles!
