This first card uses Whipper Snapper Stamps (Crab and Seaweed). The sentiment is printed. I colored using Copic Markers. I thought I could give this card to Mike to give to me when he is crabby.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3wx33sCDs-lnUni2S8TMp6orETwZnuwPXNOoKvEFZp6XZvvPLqBY6urF_5KDUp6CvcfbEYgrARFcfumSy8jaEhxE9pWgRpED6F2yZcQ2rBahgdBNiMM5AWUYtWPALMJCo5LuXlemCZNJ/s1600/68989787867.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729049084010505346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3wx33sCDs-lnUni2S8TMp6orETwZnuwPXNOoKvEFZp6XZvvPLqBY6urF_5KDUp6CvcfbEYgrARFcfumSy8jaEhxE9pWgRpED6F2yZcQ2rBahgdBNiMM5AWUYtWPALMJCo5LuXlemCZNJ/s320/68989787867.jpg" /></a>I had seen this blocking style on Pinterest and liked the way it looked so I tried to reproduce.

The Stamp is by Mo Manning for StampingBella. Colored with Copic Markers. Sentiment is computer generated cause I was way to lazy to actually pull out an alphabet and stamp it myself.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8EU2AeIFU2vYtdjQZy9qLC1qkZzNm_BaSWsyWipJTZabfn0cJ34Ndp3b1XBCcHcFYfXvA_Ai4uLFF26s8s9LMnHy9yG3m2B9uXcH2oX7VOj4S6w439MbAta5aCsL5Ja7U2ppPkwAbd_mv/s1600/IMG_0464.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 258px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729048874988799106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8EU2AeIFU2vYtdjQZy9qLC1qkZzNm_BaSWsyWipJTZabfn0cJ34Ndp3b1XBCcHcFYfXvA_Ai4uLFF26s8s9LMnHy9yG3m2B9uXcH2oX7VOj4S6w439MbAta5aCsL5Ja7U2ppPkwAbd_mv/s320/IMG_0464.JPG" /></a> This last card got a wee bit busy. Ok a lot busy. I don't know what I was thinking. I am going to use it anyway cause I am late. The only stamping is the sentiment which is Purple Onion Designs. I drew out the pattern for the cupcake. The heart is a punch. Paper is Basic Grey.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZnO0ExOrAS6q5ihxVooWZVhxR-g5GscyzeJBQgfpzd57unhvC2GFmxZsRfjnsrDS0j2S8Kss9EA4EAqfGsiDk625o5GtMeyMey4WgjXxwacGFpnvKzPYBtgwssWiulNYDVtosHw1Mxxf/s1600/56676443.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729048787766104946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZnO0ExOrAS6q5ihxVooWZVhxR-g5GscyzeJBQgfpzd57unhvC2GFmxZsRfjnsrDS0j2S8Kss9EA4EAqfGsiDk625o5GtMeyMey4WgjXxwacGFpnvKzPYBtgwssWiulNYDVtosHw1Mxxf/s320/56676443.jpg" /></a>Thanks for stopping by.

This first one is almost a complete copy. I changed it very little.

These are the companies that we should continue to support. </div><br /><br /><div>Thanks for stopping by. </div><br /><div>Annie </div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18301460287568021684noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150024723901624838.post-61859635744021997412012-03-03T10:51:00.009-06:002012-04-08T20:05:41.162-05:00My little girl is all grown up - WARNING CUTE PUPPY PICTURESMaggie is two years old.

If you haven't been able to tell Eat Cake Graphics is one of my most favorite stamp companies. If you like the stamps, go visit the site and support this one person stamp company. </div><br /><div>Thanks</div><br /><div>Annie </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18301460287568021684noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150024723901624838.post-13325149629569880682011-07-30T07:15:00.003-05:002011-07-30T07:21:15.877-05:00Maggie Update<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbEQfV578174oix9m5miYh8DkrStvcHlAcDcCSFVp8TMH8k5l5esZxLhBy-aZtp1pNAiuESC3Zedua1oCt6XcIyb-XtsWtKM3YzVyABlZIElVarzixDIEd8GW_yORoGK2j2ztjGrzYgND/s1600/DSC01087.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635119125826930562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbEQfV578174oix9m5miYh8DkrStvcHlAcDcCSFVp8TMH8k5l5esZxLhBy-aZtp1pNAiuESC3Zedua1oCt6XcIyb-XtsWtKM3YzVyABlZIElVarzixDIEd8GW_yORoGK2j2ztjGrzYgND/s320/DSC01087.JPG" /></a> <br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">A quick update.

We noticed that she was shaking. The best I can convey what was happening is to liken it to adult onset of Parkinson, where they have small tremors continually. I got on the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Internet</span> of course and started researching <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Westie</span> health issues. The closest I could find was an ailment called White Dog Shaker Syndrome. Took her to the vet and Dr. Mike confirmed it. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This disorder develops suddenly in young adult, primarily small white dogs. The cause is unknown but generally speculated that there is some deficiency due to an autoimmune reaction. There is an all-over tremor that can range from mild to so severe that the dog may have difficulty walking. Luckily Maggie has mild tremors. The tremors do worsen however, when she became excited or tried to perform specific actions such as eating, walking towards an object, playing. At night when we went to bed and she relaxed the tremors would disappear. The condition is not painful but if untreated can cause seizures. If diagnosed early, the treatment is very effective and can totally eliminate the tremors. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We caught Maggie early and she is on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Predizone</span> now for a couple of weeks. Already the tremors have stopped. She is not the peppy puppy that she normally is because I suspect that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> are making her uncomfortable. I remember how I felt when I had to go on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Steriods</span> for my back. She has been on the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> for a week and will keep her on them for another week. If she continues to do well, we can stop the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> next Friday. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I just hated seeing my sweet little girl go thru this, but very glad that it wasn't something more serious. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Annie </span>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18301460287568021684noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150024723901624838.post-78805839883528083412011-06-25T10:19:00.003-05:002011-06-25T10:24:39.694-05:00A few more<span style="font-family:arial;">Most of these are done with some of the new stamps from Purple Onion Designs.

I am now Certified. I was able to participate in the Copic Certification Class yesterday in Eden Prairie with 30 other Copic addicts. Debbie Olsen and Lori Craig tag teamed the instruction and did an awesome job. For me it was a repeat of things I had already learned in Copic Classes, but Debbie and Lori did such a great job presenting the information that I was totally engaged for the entire day. The plan now is to take the intermediate class when they offer it sometime in Sept.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18301460287568021684noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150024723901624838.post-24554625159804319842011-05-09T15:02:00.013-05:002011-05-09T15:39:34.616-05:00Stampers Sampler<span style="font-family:arial;">Awhile back I did some cards using Purple Onion Designs Birthday Note Block.

I did these two thank you cards recently. I colored with Copics. The last two were done for Christmas and were also colored with Copics. I took a beginner class on how to use these markers and it was well worth it. They are amazing and I think ECG stamps look amazing when you use the Copics to color.
