OWH Birthday Challenges No. 1 and 3

An animal for Challenge 1 and a kids' card... for "unique Christmas" challenge 3 -- well how many times have you seen a dog actually write a letter of supplication to Santa... I ask you? Love this Impression Obession stamp! My dog Rio always has this look on his face when he's gone counter surfing but his hat usually falls off....

Dixie: this Bow Easy bow's for you! ;)

OWH Virtual Card Making Party! Challenge #2

Okay, okay, I will do better keeping up this blog and OWH's cardmaking party is great reason to turn over a new "leaf" (ha ha, it's fall now!). Working on cards today on the deck where it's not a bazillion degrees.. here's my nature card! It's a stamp from Earth Art that I watercolored last evening as a birthday card for my hubby next week. Timing is everything....

I am also entering this card on a site that my buddy June hooked me up with that I really like, Shopping Our Stash (http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com). The challenge is bugs, beasts or birds!
