There She Goes Stamps Used: 

•School Doodles (arrows, "you are",  "I heart", "cool")

•Scootin' By ("U Drive me Crazy")

Love the look on that puppy's face. We've all been there, right?! 

Wendy's colouring is always amazing, but I love the little dog brads/embellishments she added! 

So ca-uuuuute!

Sandra MacLean shows us another way to colour up this naughty pup: Dalmatian style!!

Yesterday we had a lovely garden scene for all you dog-lovers out there, today it's all about the kitties!! Here are a few great cards from our Garden of Life Pinterest Gallery: 

I love Jessica's cards. Her colouring is gorgeous and she always chooses the best patterned papers. Look at that huge striped twill... Amazing!

I went vintage and tattered with this card and really simple with the colouring - all airbrushing with Copics! 

Corinna used some of the accessory images in the set and made her own beautiful scene. All of the details are absolutely lovely. 

Stay tuned for more furry fun tomorrow!

It is a great set for colourers and lovers of great sentiments. Here are some wonderful cards from our In All the World Pinterest Gallery showcasing the possibilities: 

The illustrator, Chris Dark, shows us how beautiful the main image can be when coloured with watercolours. She did an amazing job colouring this scene with special touches like shadows and the grass.

I love the sweet papers Megan used. They are a perfect complement with this image. 

Kim used the image of the puppy all by himself and it's just perfect. Her colouring is gorgeous and every element on her card is perfectly placed.

Thanks for visiting - stay tuned all week for more There She Goes (Again!) inspiration!

Stampbook Saturday - Oh Snap!

Hi, everyone! Heather P. here with this week's Stampbook Saturday post, which features some of the images from the Oh Snap stamp set.  I based my layout on a fun pic of our pup... He's always getting into mischief! :) For my daughter's 8th birthday, I decided to surprise her with a room full of balloons, which would be waiting for her when she returned home.  Our doggy, being the curious little guy he is, decided to investigate and "help" me arrange them throughout the room.  So thoughtful, right?? Lol...

I couldn't decide if I wanted to add any journaling to the page or not, so I tried to design my layout in such a way that if I changed my mind, there'd still be a natural spot for it to be added in later. :)

Have a great one!
