Oreo's Toys

These are just a few pics of Oreo chewing on some of the hundreds of dog toys around here! Very simple LO - used Alphalicious for 'toys'.

Rub the Belly

Some days a dog wants nothing more that a good old belly rub! This is something my husband started saying when one of them would roll over for a belly rub and the saying just stuck in my head! I used Don Juan for the lettering and glimmer mist over the background paper and letters!

Bottle Buddy

We have one of these toys for each dog and they LOVE them! What dog doesn't like to chew on a water bottle! The end of this toy has velcro - just slip in an empty water bottle and there you go! Hours of doggies occupied by the crunching, popping sounds! After awhile it can give momma a headache though!

Coyote pg. 2

I love the way these pages turned out! Oreo loves, loves, loves his coyote and it makes me happy that we have something that makes our puppy so happy!

Coleman Coyote

This is Oreo's Coleman Coyote! It was the most expensive dog toy we have ever purchased - $30.00! But it was worth every penny! Oreo drags this thing around EVERYWHERE! It goes to bed with him every night and the one toy he refuses to share! He has chewed the squeaker out of it and is working on chewing the leg off, but it has definately stood the test of time! I didn't think it would last this long, so I went on Ebay and found a couple more (cheaper!) so we have backups when necessary! Good Grief - the things we do for our SPOILED dogs :)

***Pardon the crooked stitching - this was my first time ever stitching on a layout!

Rawhide!

This is Oreo getting his first BIG rawhide bone for Christmas! He ate the entire thing in about 5 hours...oops! Then I found out that they were bad for dogs and he hasn't had one since, poor pup! Now he loves his Chicken and Banana treats - ick!
For this layout: Bazzill and American Crafts cardstock, Paper pups for the "yum", Thickers for the title, Storybook for the die cut paper and cut from A Child's Year (thanks Crystal!) That cut worked perfectly for this one! Then I added a few Silver Bells dew drops from the Robins Nest.

More fun in Snow

So this was totally out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to use these pictures of Oreo in the snow somehow. I'm pretty satisfied with the way it turned out. I used Paper Doll for the tree, glitter snow writer with star dust stickles on top of that. Used the Martha icicle punch, thickers and a couple of Penny Black stamps. Is it missing something, what do you think?

Winter Oreo

Quick layout with Oreo in the winter snow. Not much snow on the ground, but more than we normally get in central Oklahoma! Used Stretch your Imagination, Dazzlers snowflakes and Martha Stewart glitter on the snowman. Bazzill bling paper and distressed edges!

Strawberry Shortcake card

Needed a quick and simple card...10 minutes and some coloring later....

Happy Oreo...

Another page of Oreo's previous layout! Paper and all embellishments are from a Making Memories kit that's been laying around awhile! Didn't do any inking or distressing (*gasp*) but I do like the final look!

Your Beautiful Eyes

This is one of my favorite pictures of Oreo. He has such a gentle and loving face at all times. I never thought I would have a 100 pound puppy, but I wouldn't change it for the world! I love my Lab!

Daddy's Hat

Everett got his hat on Oreo a couple of times, but Oreo got it off just as fast as it went on! I was able to catch a few pics though! What a good puppy! Another simple layout! UGH! Why can't I make a more intricate layout!

Puppy Kisses

This layout took me forever for some reason...kinda hard to tell, but the edges are all distressed using scissors, some ribbon, couple of metal embellishments and the Simply Sweet cricut cartridge for the lettering! Thanks Mom for picking up my camera - if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have these pics and I love them!

Another simply layout. Love those ears! Added some ribbon, used some glimmer mist on chipboard, little bit of paper tearing and there you go!

Oreo's 1st scrapbook page

So I haven't scrapped a page in over a month and it really took some effort to get the energy up to do this one! It's simple, but I do like the way it turned out! I didn't want to add too much because the background is busy! Feel free to give your suggestions if it needs something else added to it! Hope you like it too!

Especially for mom!

Now, keep in mind this picture was taken through chain link...not too bad, huh! There are now a couple of these critters at our zoo and so much fun to watch! Enjoy!

Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh my!!!

So today we decided to take a quick trip to the zoo since it was cloudy out, great breeze and was only supposed to get into the upper 80's! It was a great day out there and the animals seemed happy to have a break from the 100 degree days!

Fireworks from our backyard

We had a great display of fireworks both Friday and Saturday nights here...Friday night, Everett and I went to the park to watch them (Friday was dedicated to all military personnel) and the display couldn't have been better...after the philharmonic stopped playing, the rest were put to music and it was fantastic!

Saturday is POURED and we had quite the thunderstorm that afternoon...the show went on, but with scattered lightening, we stayed home and watched the show from our patio out back! Hope everyone else had a great 4th of July weekend!
