Love you

Hi everyone! The last 4 days went by in the blink of an eye... I had cards stamped, yet couldn't find the time to photograph or blog them. Sorry for my short absence, but I did have a good reason. A SMALL little reason... a furry little sweet reason.

THIS reason:



Let me introduce you to Ripley. 

Stats:
  • Shih-Tzu - female - tri-colored
  • 9 weeks old
  • 6 pounds
  • PS: She DOES have eyes.  LOL  She is sleeping AND shaggy... :)
Some fun facts about Ripley:
  • Named by my husband after a character from the movie Alien.  Not sure who or what this character is.  He let me name our first dog Puffle, so I think that earns him a free naming, don't you?  *giggle*
  • Munched on my glasses a couple nights ago while I was sleeping.  Frames, lenses and all.  Perhaps Marley would have been a more fitting name?
  • Likes to sleep under the couch
  • Wags her tail when she sees me
  • Love her...
I NEVER thought I would be a dog person.  I stand corrected.  I am looking forward to life with our 2 puppies.  My kids adore them and I love making my kids happy.  :)

Now that I have shared my puppy love story with you, let me share my Love You card. :) 

This card uses the new set Emma Blowing Kisses.  I stamped her in Memento black and colored her with Copic markers and paper-pieced her dress.  I made this card for this week's Card Positioning Systems sketch challenge, which MFT is sponsoring this week! 



Don't miss the details:
  • Diamond stickles on the flower in her hair
  • Fun new EK punch used for the scalloped border
  • Cool webbed ribbon strung through button and left "curly"
Paper: white, black, Cosmo Cricket Delovely
Accessories: Raspberry button, webbed ribbon (local scrap store), silver brads, copic markers, stickles, Janome sew mini, red line tape, red line dimensionals

I'll see you tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Yeah!! So glad you posted a pic! And btw, I think you got off pretty light with Ripley as a name - could have been so much worse!

  2. Shih tzu's have the BEST personalities and Ripley looks like a love bug. I am blessed with two yorkies and an all white shih tzu. Very cute card!

  4. Ripley is actually a great name. We just got a new cat and I let my husband name her with the condition that I wanted it to be a strong female character name (movie or books) and he came up with the same - Ripley from Aliens. She's probably one of the strongest female characters in all fiction. Enjoy your fluffly new pup!
