Day 63: Oh, My Sweet Puppy

Originally, this trio of photos was displayed in a rather dull wood frame, but I decided to change it up. It turned out wonderfully & now it fits perfectly with my living room color scheme. It's always satisfying when I can take something I already have & change it to suit my new needs.

I altered this frame to use in a Tuesday Alchemy challenge. You can see the original post here.

Yeah, yeah! I've caught up with the 30 Days Of Reflection Photo Challenge. I'm on track, so you will find a picture post every day.

Want to see my other reflections? Yes? How fantastic!

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #20: Furry Companions

This week at Tuesday Alchemy, we are celebrating our furry companions. Do you have any in your life? I have cats & a dog. They are a great joy, provide lots of entertainment & offer unconditional love. I can't imagine my life without them!

I decided I would give my picture frames a new look. They currently reside in my dining room, displaying my big pup (He's over 100 lbs, by the way!) & flowers that bloomed in my garden a few years ago.



I wanted to move the frames into my living room. It's main color scheme is red, black & white. I painted, distressed & sealed the frame before adding red glitter to the corners.

To add more pizazz, I created the flowers & punched out leaves from vellum. I made my own matte for the three photos, which are all the same. Three different cardstocks are layered on top of each other.

The photos are my pup when he was actually a pup. Isn't he the cutest thing in the world? He wasn't little for very long & I can hardly remember him not being HUGE. This snapshot of him is a wonderful reminder of those brief puppyhood days.




I would love to see your furry companion photos, or better yet, why not join our challenge at Tuesday Alchemy & include it in your project?

If you participate, you have a chance to win a prize from our wonderful sponsor, Di's Digital Downloads AND Latte Dah's Design. Yep, we have two prizes this week, so two people will win!

Burlap, Nature, Stamp & Twine


One Idea = Two Cards

Using the same elements, I created two cards. The only difference is the card base color, the stamp & the greenery on the left side, which is  a different part of a photo that I took while in the Caribbean. If only I could afford to return there, I would be there so fast - It was an amazing trip!



Leaves were punched from vellum, which adds a lot more interest than using plain or patterned cardstock. Have you punched anything from vellum lately? I'd love to see how you used it!



This card was submitted to wonderful challenge blogs - See below for links & details, so you can create your own & join in the fun!
