Stampin’ Up! Sunshine Day at the Beach for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 23, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! If you’re following along with us, you’ll know this is color week! Be sure to check out all our talented ladies-who-hop! 🙂

Now – the colors we’re working with today – not really easy ones for me!

Since I needed all my brain power to create something in this color scheme, I let the fine folks over at the Fusion challenge help me with the layout…

Fusion is a cool one – cuz you can do their sketch, their photo inspiration, or both! I used just the sketch.

Duh – right?? 🙂

So – I decided this was a beachy color scheme and pulled out the new Day at the Beach stamp set, and once again turned to the Sunshine Sayings set for my sentiment. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Carousels on the Beach!

Posted on January 13, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Well, it’s Friday again – and it’s Friday before a three-day weekend! Whoo-hoo! As with all Friday’s before a long weekend – I have delusions of grandeur about all the things I just know I’ll get done. And I bet I get….just a smidge over none of them done! 🙁 But. I’m going to try!

So I know you guys have me figured out. You probably suspect that I buy too many toys, beds, treats and anything else you can think of for my 4-legged children. Especially (at least right now), for Finn. He’s got a more expensive bed in his kennel than I sleep on. Yes – it’s a hand-me-down from Buck, but…still!

Finn has, of late, shown some…reluctance to go to bed. I suspect he thinks he’s trustworthy enough to spend the night roaming at large.

For the record…he’s not.

But, he now trudges into the kennel, grudgingly taking the milk bone treat I give him, and then flinging himself down in disgust. And if he sometimes flings himself in a way that leaves him obviously uncomfortable, well….he sucks it up until a decent amount of time has passed and he can re-arrange. Saving face, as it were.

I completely meant to land this way…

Once he feels he’s made his point, he turns around, flops into his usual position and is asleep in a wink.

And sleeps all night. Dogalous goofalus. 🙂

So – my card. A friend of mine is going thru a bit of a rough patch in her family, so I’m planning to send her a few SU! goodies to play with and a cheery card. She’s a California girl – currently living in rain! – so I figured I’d go beach-y. Day at the Beach, to be exact! And it paired really well with some Cupcakes & Carousels Specialty DSP.
