My sweet Oreo!

Love these pictures of Oreo - I think they capture some of his most used expressions; one of patience and one of eagerness. Used Storybook for the cuts, some glimmer mist and rhinestones...I see the one in the bottom corner fell over, but no worries, I fixed it! :)

These are just a few pics of Oreo being lazy and how he LOVED to jump up on our bed to nap....poor thing isn't allowed to jump up there anymore after his knee surgery, but never fear, Oreo has HIS OWN TWIN MATTRESS in our bedroom! Not a doggie bed - an extra daybed mattress! Can you believe that - SPOILED!

***The blue stiped pillow in the picture in a XL Dog Pillow and as you can see, it's just now big enough!

So here are a couple of quick shot's of Oreo after coming hom the day after his CCL Repair to his rear left knee. Poor baby was so sick (because of the meds) and miserable! Was quite a miserable time for all of us - pretty quick and simple layout - I didn't want to spend long looking at the pics again, but he's doing better now!

*Since this one had such a long story, I did lots of journaling on the back of the page :)

Thank you Crystal!

List for Santa...

This is another snapshot of Oreo with Santa! It's hard to see the look on his face from this pic, but the photographer "accidentally" printed me an extra pic since he thought this one would be too good to pass up - otherwise they were about $9 each! Yikes!!! I definately thanked the photographer for this one!
All cuts from Christmas solutions, Christmas Cheer and Joys of the Season! The words are simply stickers and a bit of MS glitter on the tree!

Oreo meeting Santa Claus

Okay, so back to the dogs! I've got to get their layouts done so I can get all the animal stuff out of my way! I'm surrounded by pet papers! This was Oreo's first Christmas with our family so he HAD to meet Santa! I think he liked him :)

This layout was all done using the Cricut Christmas solutions cartridge and a Martha Stewart punch! Pretty simple really, but I didn't want to overwhelm the photo! Enjoy!

When I was a little girl...

This layout was pretty different for me - it is a more detailed layout than I normally do, but I must say that I really do like the way this one turned out. It looks better in person than it does in the pic, but you get the idea.

The flowers are cut from Graphically Speaking, layered and placed on with pop dots. The other cuts are from Storybook and Home Accents; the little fence cut is from Paper Doll Dress Up then run through the Cuttlebug and inked up.

Paper tearing, inking, a few brads and a few pearls! If I remember right, the paper is from the Laundry Line by My Mind's Eye! The bookplate I bought at Big Lots; printed a quite on vellem and there you go! I hope you like this one!

Kong treat ball

I don't know why I keep choosing such bright colored paper for Oreo's layouts. I guess because he is such a dark color of dog I feel like the bright makes him stand out more! I will add some journaling of what usually went in the ball such as kibble, carrots, apples and treats - usually topped with peanut butter. This is what the dogs get every morning that I have to go to work! They seem to like it :)
