Before I show the card we are making in class today I just have to tell you about me and cameras … you all know I don’t like taking photos of my work because I am never happy with it. Must get that light box … any suggestions of what to get girls????
I was at Patricia’s on Wednesday having a crafting play day and I took my camera to take piccies of her cards. Patricia is having a workshop next week Sunday, 21st October … (if interested e-mail me or go onto Patricia’s blog for details). Anyway started to take the pics … managed two … then the camera just wouldn’t work … no way no how!!!! You can imagine how calm and serene I was about this … don’t ****** think so.
How is it we always forget about things until we come to use them again!!!! You get it … wanted to take photos of my class card today but that darn thingy wouldn’t work … grrrr.
Oh so sweetly asked him in doors if he could have a look for me … guess what some how I had put it onto record mode, who records on a camera???? Obviously not me.
Well now that takes me to the fun bit … how calm and serene I was. Can’t wait to show Patricia the video of her and me plus what we were saying ….. no I am not going to put it on YouTube!!! Don’t care how mean I am.
Fun over, time to show my card. Wow haven’t done decoupage for ages but he looked just right in the middle of this box card. Still lots of stamping and distressing though.
This is the sort of card that looks quite masculine but if you have a really really good friend who can take a joke then I don’t see any reason why you can’t send to a girl. Change the papers to pinky, stamp some girly shoes, last but not least she doesn’t mind being called a dog … yikes!!! Maybe not.
Brilliant card Shirl, love the dog, reminds me of my dad’s dog Charlie. My camera takes video too, I know what you mean about secret recordings you didn’t know you had taken.
Love to you both.

OMG…I would looove to see that video! lol I have a girlfriend who loves her mischievous dogs and I reckon this card would be perfect! The dog looks like he is in the “dog house” Shirl…very guilty looking indeedy.

Greetings Janny
Brilliant and oh sooo beautiful Shirl! Love the shoe laces – great idea to use bakers twine 🙂 I have never made a card like this and would love to know how! xx
Love the card shirl………………………changed the price on the blog. You will keep me on my toes
Hi Shirl, loving this card. He is adorable and it’s such a fun card, but still has a lovely vintage feel. No exactly what you mean about cameras. I struggle big time. The colours never seem true and I look at some blogs and their photos are fab. How do they do it? Would be interested in how you get on with a light box though. xx
😀 Oh Shirley, thanks for the story – women and technique – twor worlds 😀
I’m so happy that my new computer works and I’m able to visit all my friends in blogland again. You’ve been very busy and creative during the last time. Much to see 🙂
The little dog looks fabulous, love the trim from going from one side to the other.
