An almost total CASE

After spending so much time prepping for convention, you would think that I would be paper crafted out.  Believe it or not, I have wanted to get my hands back into the process.  I found myself sitting at my desk and staring at all my new toys and feeling a bit overwhelmed and not sure where to turn. 

I opted for an easy card that I could just copy.  For those that don't know, CASE means copy and share everything, but give credit.  Once I get my hands in and start working, then the ideas follow.

So I won prize patrol at convention (this year everyone did)  and I got this really cool die cut that makes a swing card, flip card, flip flop card...whatever you want to call it accompanied with lots of other little embellishments to go with it.  So Fun!

Here is a sample I almost totally cased from the Stampin Up's concept artists.  Shelli Gardner showcased these in her demonstration during convention.  A swing card without all the fussy measuring and cutting.  I need to work on my folds, so they don't look a mess (yes I know, I just brought it to your attention) I keep getting the lines from the thinlit as well as the fold line.

I used a bit of washi tape which is a new item to our catalog and some glitter paper and an embossing folder.

I am a bit tired, so I am off to bed.  These guys are much smarter than me.

Newest Member of the Family

We took a little unplanned trip to Idaho over Presidents Day to pick up a recent purchase/adoption.  He stole our hearts from the very beginning.

Introducing Oliver...(little spit)

He is a French/English Bulldog and he is pure puppy.  Floppy ears and blue eyes.  We teased that he had eyeliner on as both eyes are lined black.  Maybe we should have named him King Tut

Plays hard - crashes - plays hard - crashes - plays hard and then crashes.  We haven't gotten too many pics as he was always hopping, rolling, running, chewing or piddling on the floor.  There is nothing safe at his level.  We put a child safety gate at the kitchen door to keep him in...well he can climb over it.  He is so loving and cuddly, and mischievous.

Riley and Oliver get along great as long as Oliver doesn't try to eat.  Riley thinks all the food is his.  Something we are working on.  Oliver already loves to go for walks, but holds "it" until he gets back into the house.  He already knows that he shouldn't because he waits for you to turn your back.

He likes to sleep on his back.  This is a picture of him on the ride home.  We had pillows set up between the two front seats and he chose that spot.  Cutest little puppy belly.  I call him my little roly poly puppy.

We stayed over with Mom for a couple of days.  She was so good to us and took care of us.  I got a good nap in on Monday and I also got to have some of her sourdough scones (fry bread) for breakfast. A rare treat.
