Bronte's Birthday

 I had this wonderful image by Mo Manning Bronte Birthday that I just had fun coloring. I haven't colored in such a long time, that I actually have done a few things that I had printed out that I found when I was moving.

Yappy Birthday

Well my Grandpup's birthday is coming up so I had to make him a birthday card. Well it's also time for a new Stella Says Sketch at Catch the Bug and I used one of the images from the Birthday Puppies Set. The sentiment I heat embossed in gold is from My Favorite Things, Pups and Kisses.
Gus is having a hard time and "acting up" for my daughter. She is a 4th grade teacher and both her and her significant other are working from home right now. Gus usually went to doggy daycare on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and then went to school with my daughter on Fridays. So now he just goes to daycare once a week. He is a social dog so he won't cuddle or listen to my daughter. I think he is upset because of the change in his routine. She is devastated. This quarantine and staying home is affecting EVERYONE! We don't always realize that our critters don't understand what is happening.

Sweet Day

Today at Catch the Bug it's New Release day and the image is Christmas Cupcake and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  For this one I used a quilt die cut and did lots of playing to get all the pieces.  Then I have Flower Soft on the fur of the hat and Glossy Accents on the frosting.
This is 50% for the week so this a wonderful time to grab the image because the Christmas in July Celebration is coming up next week!

Your birthday is out of the box

Today is the 5th day of the 9th Annual Birthday Bash at Catch the Bug.  The challenge for today is to make us laugh with a humorous card/project.  I made a center step card using Birthday Monster Present.  The sentiment is from my label machine and stickers.  I think that a monster coming out of a present would be scary instead of funny, but this monster has eyelashes and rosy cheeks so she doesn't look too harmful.
