Smile

Time for me to show you another amazing image from Just Inklined.
This crazed cutie is Scruff! He is such a happy pooch. (Think it has anything to do with the huge bone in his mouth?) If that was my dog, he would be hiding it. Lol

Go Blue!

Any University of Michigan fans out there?
I made this card for a customer of mine at work. The argyle paper and logo were both computer generated. Punched logo with 2 3/4" circle punch and punched blue card stock with 3" scalloped circle punch. Inked edges of paper with Tim Holtz "Weathered Wood" distress ink. Then I added a yellow gingham bow...she is a girl ya know, gotta have a bow! Ta-Da!

Refinished Stamp Cabinet

My hubby and I have refinished A LOT of furniture in our 20 years together but we have NEVER refinished a metal cabinet! Steve was on an on line auction and found an old Victorian style love seat for me to put in my craft room (pictures of that another day). It was an estate sale so there was a lot more stuff and this cabinet caught his eye. Being the awesome, loving husband he is he said, "Hey Hon, wouldn't this be a great cabinet to hold your stamps?". He was soooooo right! It has twenty 11x9 drawers just perfect for holding all of my wood stamps!! With a little soapy water, a few whacks with a hammer and some epoxy appliance paint it will be ready to load tomorrow (gotta let the paint cure). Now I just have to divide my stamps into twenty different themes. Oh gheeze...better get started!
