Addicted to CAS

Another Clean and Simple card this time for a challenge at Addicted to CAS where the theme is 'Pet' ...

I've had this little dog stamp (Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers - sadly no longer in business) for years and have always loved it - for today I have added the Christmas hat (stamped from a Whipper Snapper Christmas set) and coloured it with a red glaze pen and some Stickles. The circles are mounted on foam pads to give a little dimension. 

Our little dog. Mollie is 2 years old this month and I've just realized what a close match she is to this stamp!

More Mini Album videos ...

... for anyone who is not mini-albummed out :-)) And an update photograph of 'the puppy' - now 11 months old - at the end ...

Mojo and Moll

My mojo is a missing at the moment - don't know why but everything heads for the bin - never mind - it usually returns of its own accord eventually...

In the meantime here are some update photos of THE PUPPY ... in the first she is about 24 weeks and the next two 6 months old (these taken very recently) ... her name is now usually abbreviated to Moll - she is much more of a Moll than a Molly ...

Puppy

For those who like puppies here's Molly at 15 weeks (with 'Lion'!)

I've been missing in action from Julie's fabulous blog for a few weeks due - as my regular readers will know - mainly to this ...

... and for the same (and other) reasons my 'desk' has had to move downstairs for the time being ... well actually and literally 'under the stairs' ... this is not as bad as it sounds as the dining table and the kitchen are both close at hand.

I have utilised some 'custom door storage' ...

And have the use of these shelves for everything else - well the stash mountain doesn't all fit but maybe less 'stuff' will concentrate the mind and increase creativity/productivity ...

I am still attempting to complete the little mini that was on my desk four weeks ago (it's still there in the picture above) but only two pages and the covers are left to do now ...

If you like peeking into other peoples lives head over to Julie's Stamping Ground for a weekly fix.

Molly

More than two weeks have gone by with very little crafting  - almost none! - due mainly to this little 'time waster'.

Molly is now 10 weeks old and really 'finding her feet' - in some 'good ways' but mostly she is 'trouble on four legs' - luckily she's adorable!

Back to crafting shortly I hope. I do have a video to be going on with - this is another mini album created with some old basic grey papers. The pages are made from toilet paper rolls ...

Finished projects - Yaaay!

Two mini albums at the back - one just awaiting its cover decoration and the smaller one is 'in progress'. The tag and postcards have been completed for challenges and swaps and the other stuff is a recent purchase - a few additional beading supplies as I want to make some charms. If you like looking (snooping?) at other peoples work spaces check out Julia's Stamping Ground here.

I have added a video to Utube of my 'Floral Mini'.

And if you are still with me ... here is another photograph of Molly who will be coming to live with us in 6 days!!

Puppies

I am not really a blogger that puts a lot of personal stuff on here (apart from my messy desk!) but I thought you might like to see Molly ...

who will be joining our family in just over a weeks time.
