Long Dog

Mornin' y'all and NEW STAMPS ALERT!!!


Sorry for the shadows on this pic, but you can see how my long dog unfolds...


This is a new stamp set called Long Time No See and it also has a LLAMA so now I just need the slightest excuse to make a llama card too.  I couldn't find a Lemon Lolly pattern I liked for underneath the long dog, so I went back to the old Saran Wrap trick--you just crumple up a small piece of plastic wrap and use it like a stamp to get a cool texture effect.  I have a roll of Saran Wrap in my craft room for just this purpose.

I used this week's color challenge from The Paper Players:


Once again I had to be contrary and ignore the possibility of making a floral card, but I liked these colors together more than I expected to.  How do you like my long dog's colorful sweater?  I also used a tweaked version of this week's Atlantic Hearts sketch:


This would be a fun sketch to showcase some patterned paper.

That's it for now, peeps.  Turns out Ryan's STEAM camp this week runs through today--I think all his other camps have been 4 days so this was an unexpected bonus.  And it's an extra day at Ryan's favorite camp this summer.  Cheers, y'all!

How cool is this, Christy! What a clever way to show off the challenge colors. You just can't help but love an expanding Doxie! I am so glad you shared this cutie in my challenge at The Paper Players this week!

Absolutely adorable! I love the sweater's colorful stripes and the cleverest pull-out feature. Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
