I know I should be sharing a spooky card today! Oh Well!!! Here's what I have!

Shoot for the Stars!

Supplies:  pp - Dear Lizzy for American Crafts (SC), 
red cardstock - Canson, black versafine ink, white stars -  
Blue Note Card Kit (SC), sentiment stamp - SSS, 6x6 card 
blank, clear acetate and machine stitching.

As you know I love shaker cards and made this quick one without the fuss of hiding the "mechanism" of the shaker by using machine stitching to sandwich tiny enamel stars between a layer of acetate and patterned paper (Studio Calico - Marks & Co Card Kit).

York is off to start his next adventure!

This boy "York" joined our family last year on 21st October - you can see how tiny and adorable he was below.  The photo above was taken last week by his "new" puppywalkers (who are amazing! - long story! but we were blessed with the new family that welcomed him into their lives).  They upload nearly daily photos of his adventures which has let us see him grow and develop into an amazingly, confident dog.  He is starting his next adventure at the end of the month.  He heads off to "big school" where he is going to train to hopefully become a Guide Dog or Assistance Dog/
 We wish him and his siblings in the "Y" Litter every success in their training.  If you want to find out more about the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind - check out their website here.  
Okay - alert - two more cute puppy photos below!.
Can I go sailing too? I will fit in this bag!
Butter wouldn't melt!!! Yeah right!!!

Warmest Wishes!

Supplies:  Grey pp - Valorie Wibbens (September Card Kit - 
Studio Calico) - other pp from same card kit (all Studio 
Calico), feather die - Underground Card Kit (SC), digital 
sentiment from Blue Note Stamp Kit, matting card - 
Ocean Tides cardstock Papertrey ink and machine stitching.

A quick share!  I wanted to used up some scraps from the beautiful Poet Society Card Kit by Studio Calico so I created this grey/blue tone on tone card.  I printed the sentiment directly onto the patterned paper with my printer to create a 6x6 card.

I machine stitched 5 feathers to the scraps using the feather die in the Underground Card Kit.  Love using up the scraps!.
