My Punny Valentine

Now that Christmas is over, it's time to start thinking about the next holiday - Valentines Day! This week's SP and Company challenge is to create a silly Valentine card or project - it could be a funny image or a funny sentiment. For my card I chose this adorable Tina Wenke set - Puppy Surprise Valentine. He is so cute! And he would be perfect on a card for a boy or a girl!

Pink and Teal

Wow, I just love this week's challenge at SP and Company. It's a color challenge (my favorite kind) *and* one of the colors is PINK - my favorite color of all! This week we're asking you to make a card using a Pink and Teal, two beautiful colors and work beautifully together. For my card, I used this adorable Tina Wenke image, Skating Penguin.

Supplies: Tina Wenke Skating Penguin  Stamp Set (SP and Company), 

Winter Wonderland "In the Neighborhood" dp (MME), pink heart from mat stack (The Paper Studio), 

Blue Lagoon buttons (SP and Company), Fiskars border punch,

Copic markers and pop-dots.

Anything goes at SP & Co!

I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a wonderful holiday with a crafty present or two tucked under the tree. One of my favorite presents this year was a homemade version of the Zutter bowmaking tool. (Have to give the hubby an excuse to use those tools he likes to buy, right?) I used it to make this cute little bow for this week's SP and Company challenge - Anything Goes.

Supplies: Hedgie with Large Bouquet, Ooh La La for Her 6X6 pad (MME), 

ribbon (Michaels), Copic markers, pearls and ultrafine glitter.

Here's my handy-dandy bowmaker, thanks to DH:

A Perfect Pet Gift Idea

Does your Christmas gift list include a dog-owning friend or perhaps a furry friend of your own? If so, I have the perfect easy gift idea for you! This week's SP and Company challenge is "Easy Christmas" - be it an easy to make card, ornament, gift or other project. So you'll find lots of easy to make projects on the blog today!

For my easy gift, I packaged up some homebaked dog treats in a cellophane bag, secured it with ribbon and embellished it with an oversized tag and a fancy bow. I used the adorable Snowman and Snowdog by Tina Wenke and some papers from the Christmas Reflections 6X6 pad (Echo Park). I used one of Sami's awesome YouTube bowmaking tutorial videos to make my big, fancy bow.

Here's a closer shot of my tag:

I found the biscuit recipe here: Brown Eyed Baker PB Biscuits. Next time, I think I'll try this recipe: Sally's Baking Addiction PB Bacon Dog Treats.

I'm also entering my project into the following challenges:
Just For Fun - Merry Christmas
My Mum's Craft Shop - Winter/Christmas
Charisma Cards - Christmas
Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes
All Sort - Inspired by a Christmas Song or Carol (Frosty the Snowman)
Pile It On - P is for....  (p is for pup as in snowdog and p is for peanut butter since the biscuits are made with peanut butter)

Tag, You're It!

Happy Sunday! I'd like to say that Daylight Savings Time gave me an extra hour of sleep, but we are fostering two puppies right now and let's just say that puppies' inner clocks do not account for Daylight Savings Time. :) Oh well, an extra hour of wakefulness is giving me an extra hour of craft related activities. Right now, I am in the midst of a major craft room cleanout - NOT fun! What is fun, however, is this new tag challenge from SP and Company. I also have some fun news to share - I am one of the new members of the SP and Company design team! I am SO excited to be on the team! I can't wait to finish my craft room clean out so I can get back to crafting!

Here's my tag, which using the absolutely adorable Season of Giving stamp set. Not only is the image adorable, but it comes with lots of great sayings.

Stop by the SP and Company blog to see all the other awesome tags. Join us in the challenge for a chance to win a $15 gift card to the SP and Company store.
