Penny Black Honey Bears

A quick post, on my way outside to work on our pond so we can get it opened and running!

It's been a long time since I had a chance to enter the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

I love the older stamps with the sweet kids and animals and have drawers full of

them that have not seen the light of day in a long time.  So, I decided to see what

the challenge theme was and have a go.

The Challenge theme is "Make your own background"

Stamps - Honey Bear and Sweet Honey, Penny Black (1998)

I made a simple background with two different grass stamps and

a cloud stencil

Colored with Copics

Entering into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

Gotta run, have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by today. Until later....

BSS IDEA - BIRD DOG

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea

What a nice Sunday weather day, finally!  We are doing some work

on our pond, replacing 15 year old water fall and skimmer box.

The Rocks that we handpicked years ago at a Quarry to place around

our pond seemed to much lighter back then!!  All 13 fish survived the winter

and we are looking forward to getting it put back together and enjoying

the view from our patio.......

This week's card is for all you dog lovers..........

I bought this die because my daughter's dog looks exactly like the dog

on the die.  I made her a Mother's Day card with it and she loved it.

Stamped sentiment -Stampendous

Die -Impression Obsession - Dog and Bird Frame (Die804-Z)

Stitched Banner die - Paper Rose(16871)

Background Paper - Lemon Craft - Grow Old With Me

Green and Dark Brown card stock

Sentiment stamped with Versafine Clair Brown ink

I die cut the image with green card stock.

I ran just the dog through with dark brown card stock

The flowers with peach card stock

The bird with blue card stock

So here is the real thing.  Lily was brought from South Carolina

by a rescue group.  She was picked up on the streets as a

stray.  It was soon discovered that she was pregnant

and she gave birth to 9 little black pups.  Our daughter

went to see her at the home she was being fostered in and

decided she wanted  Lily and not one of her pups.

She came to live with Heidi and her family just before Christmas

two years ago, and we couldn't even look her in the eye

at that time she was so scared.  After many classes and

much love and attention from Heidi, she is now a therapy

Dog and visits hospitals and nursing homes, and

brings much joy to the folks she meets.

And did I say, she loves Heidi very much and Heidi

loves her too.........don't you just love Happy Endings....

That's me for this week.  Have a good week, enjoy the weather, and Until later...

LONE WOLF

Good Morning!  Before I start to rip my bedroom apart this morning to add a border on

the wallpapered wall, I have a card to show you.

My niece, Lisa, brought me this beautiful stamp from the Akron Ohio Stamp Show.

I have a love of Wolves which goes back years and have many wolf stamps, but

I welcome this new one to the collection, he's beautiful, thanks, Lisa!!
