We've sure got a lot of September birthdays in the family, and I've spent a good long while making birthday cards this month! For this card, I wanted to feature two scottie dogs but don't have any scottie dog stamps. So I picked up my drawing pen and paper and drew up this little image. It's just what I had in mind. Fun how that works! *grin*
The balloons are punched out of colored paper and a layer of dazzling diamonds glitter was added using a clear adhesive. Once the adhesive was dry and the glitter was firmly in place, I stuck the balloons in place and drew in the balloon strings.
Now, I don't know about you, but this weekend just about tuckered me out. I'm ready to finish things up and crawl into bed for a nice snooze. Sweet dreams!
Hello, I need this to be a stamp too - please?

I am so jealous that you can just draw it if you don't have a stamp to stamp it...I love drawing but my stuff is about the calaber of a 4 year old with A.D.D. hyped up on something with a crayon in her hands...not that effective.
That is a really great card Anna, you are so blessed with many talents!!!

LOVE it! You are such a busy woman that the cards are few and far between but I still stalk, er, check in to make sure I don't miss anything. I would have to decline the birthday cake due to a nut allergy (boo hoo) but I wouldn't say no to receiving your adorable card!

Hey, that's not fair......how 'bout drawin' some scotties for US?! These are my favorite little doggies, and I would love to have some, but for now I guess I will have to love them vicariously through your card!

Umm, I'm hoping you kept a copy of that drawing - I'd love for these darling puppies to become a stamp! Fabulous card Anna!
Hugs!

Aaaaaaah, to be so talented!!! Who needs stamps when you can draw like this? I think I see a new Scottie stamp in our future!!!

Wow these turned out fabulous and oh so cute. Yep, you've got to turn them into rubber!

I have lots of Scottie stamps, but nose-to-nose ones would be even better! Hint, hint!

Well now that you've created this pair of Scotties from scratch, you need to come up with a few more coordinating images (like a tartan plaid coat) and convert them into rubber.
P.S. I sent you a coupla emails and I'm wondering if you've seen my question.
