Kaila and her Pool

Kaila is officially a water dog! As soon as I fill up her little pool, she takes a running leap and dives in, it is the funniest thing to see! Then she puts her head under the water and proceeds to sit or lay down, then its a leap out and a roll around the grass and back into the pool. The water stays clean for about 2 minutes before it is filled with grass and dirt but she doesn't care, she just loves the water!


It is so great to get back into crafting! I've been making lots of projects for Halloween and Christmas.
First is a Halloween tag, which I used cardboard as the base and distressed with paint, then machine stitched around the edges. The skull and wording are Sizzix which I cut from chipboard, then painted, highlighted with ink and then coated with german glass glitter. The little ghosts are a satin trim and I added glitter to them. Some black leaf trim, pom pom trim and coordinating ribbon finish off the tag.


Next is a Christmas to/from tag book. The the tags are embellished with Melissa Frances Papers, stickers and chipboard. The front tag is a snowman sizzix die cut from stiff felt, then I painted the hat and arms and cut another scarf and painted it green and added over the top to give it a dimensional look. I added some sparkly glitter for a snowy effect.

(I took the photos down at the property and realized after I posted this I didn't brush off the extra glitter - oops!)

I'll have more to share later on in the week.

Have a wonderful day!
