Calendar Girls--LOVE our Furry Friends!


It is the 28th, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers. 


Kelly, our Miss February, provided us with this challenge: 
** Show us how FURRY you are! **
It’s February, a month that symbolizes LOVE. When thinking of a theme for this month’s
Challenge, I knew I wanted us to get happy with the furry ones! My challenge for you this month is: Show some LOVE to our furry animals! I love them great and small, Short and tall – furry and fluffy! I am also sure at one point we have all had a special pet that we have loved, or maybe still do have a pet (or a bunch!) So let’s show them some love! I challenge you to show us fur, your fluff, your waggin’ tails! The possibilities are endless – from doggies to cats, mice to turtles – in one case, a spider! (lil dj!!) LOL! Let’s bring some creativity to making a card (etc) with any image showing us a pet (including if you don’t actually own one!)

** For an extra part of the challenge, since it is February, please try to include the color RED on your card somewhere (coloring of the image, your DSP, cardstock, embellies – just a touch (or a lot!) of red.

Please post your cards to your blogs on February 28th ! I hope you LOVE  this challenge this month and LOVE creating with FUR and FLUFF!

I feel like a broken record (remember those?) when I post the following--I do love my Whipper Snapper images and it probably is not a surprise that I used one of the many stamps that I have.  I love this image and the sentiment that goes with it—and yes, I do have lots or red on it!

We do not have any furry friends in our house, but do dog-sit for some of our friends when they leave town.  We have fin-friends and they do not like to be petted at all………………….  I grew up on a farm and we always had beautiful Collies--named of course Lassie,  along with Laddie and Skippy.

Here is the inside of my card:


Image/Sentiment—Whipper Snapper Sheepdog & Hydrant, Some Days

Cardstock—PTI White; Stampin’ Up Real Red, Early Espresso, So Saffron; DCWV The Pet Stack DSP 

Ink—SU Real Red, Memento Black

Accessories--Nesties Squares and Scallops; Copics; Yellow Button; Red/White and Brown/White Bakers Twine; Dow Paw Brads

Please check out the blogs of all of the Calendar Girls—there are 10 of us, so it might take you a bit.   I am sure you will enjoy all of the creations as we LOVE our furry friends. All of the blogs are listed on my left sidebar. Thanks for joining us!!!!!!!
