September Mid-Month Color Challenge for More Paper Than Shoes

Here is my creation of the September Challenge requiring you use the colors olive green, pink and rose. I love this vintage look paper that I have so I used that because it actually had all the colors in it and than I accented using all 3 colors in my challenge. I hope you enjoy.


I hope you will stop by frequently to see the new challenges that I participate in monthly.

My Little Cinnamon

My american cocker spaniel that I rescued from a horrible cocker spaniel rescue in Maryland was with us for 2 1/2 yrs. He ended up with a tumor on his esophagus. We had a surgeon remove it and even did chemo for him to save him, but in the end the tumor was growing back as he was going through the chemo and we didn't know. So I know that this day is a day of remembering the 9/11 attacks, but 3 yrs ago today is the day I had to put my beautiful Cinnamon to sleep. He would have hung on as long as I would let him, but I had to let him go so he wouldn't suffer any longer. I miss him so much, the pain is unbearable some times. And even though I still have 4 other rescues, he is greatly missed. He was very good and you could tell he was happy to have a family and a forever home that he needed so desperately. It is so horrible to think his family gave him up to a rescue group and they placed him in a horrible shelter that was dark, cold and wet with no lights on and no bedding or blankets on the concrete floors, and then to love him and lose him in 2 1/2 yrs just devastated me. I know everyone tells me at least we gave him a good home for the years we had him, but it wasn't enough for me. Loves & Hugs, I know you are no longer suffering.

Attached are 5 birthday cards that will be going to the teddy bear shop that I frequent. The owner is so kind as to let me place them in her store free of charge. Now that is great. We met in 2001 and have been friends ever since. I also have some halloween to make for her. They have a big Halloween Party in the town the first weekend in October so I need to get creating. Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

My October Challenge for MPTS

Here is my completed tag for MPTS October Challenge. I hope you like it.




This is a beautiful Witchy Halloween Hang/Gift Tag. It is 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 with K and Co flocked card stock with black spiders and has been embossed using a sizzix spiderweb embossing folder.  I have added a handmade felt flower sprinkled with glitter and a skull head for a brad & a purple ribbon for attaching to a gift, purple stickles for the wart on her nose and around the rim of her hat. She is surrounded by flying bats & purple glittered stars and her little friendly gray mouse is sitting by her side. This tag would be great for anyone that loves Halloween. If anyone is interested in purchasing it please let me know. Thanks for stopping by.
