Recycled Dog Treat Holder

Hello everyone!!!!  Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!  I want to thank everyone for your well wishes about my leg...  It's definitely healing, and I am able to move around pretty normally now.  I had to make several trips to the doctor, and he diagnosed me with "second degree road burn" on my lower leg!!!!  YIKES!  I got a tetanus shot, two different types of antibiotics, and lots of bandage changes!  I'm also very happy my dad is healing too, his arm has a HUGE bruise!  Soooo glad we're both getting better!  I'll share a couple pictures at the bottom of this post... Anywho, today is another challenge over at Krafty Girls!!!!  The challenge this week is: 3D projects.  I decided to turn an old peanut butter jar into a dog treat holder...  My mom hoards (I mean, collects) containers like that, so I put one of them to good use!  :)  My dogs sure do approve of this project!!!

Mini Monograms- I turned a scalloped circle into an oval H 4.10 x W 2.56"
George and Basic Shapes- oval cut at 2.94 x 2.10"
Doodletype- "yum!" cut at .76"
Peachy Keen Stamps- Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Face Assortment
Stickles- star dust, cotton candy
Patterned paper
White gel pen- stitching and paw prints
Peanut butter jar (mine's Jif, guess my mom's a "choosy mom"), hee hee
Dog treats

Okay, here are some pictures from my freak accident....

This is the "sinkhole" we fell into!  That was so scary!  I think the two pieces on the left are the ones that ate my leg!

Here's a picture of my upper leg!  This was after it was already starting to heal...  The bruise was much darker, and it looked really dark on that white leg (the camera flash really washed out what little color I do have on those legs, and trust me it's not much to begin with)! 

*I won't show you the lower leg (it's way too gnarly)!  My sister is pregnant and she gets sick when she looks at it, so that pretty much sums it up!

Well...  Hope you enjoyed my treat holder!  Now head on over to Krafty Girls and link up your 3D projects!  :)

Dog Mini Album- Part 3

Here are the last pages of my mini album.  It was a really short album, and I wanted to keep it pretty simple (without a lot of embellishments).  Hope you enjoy!!

 

The tab picture cards are cut at 3.59" on the From My Kitchen cartridge.  The pocket for the cards measures 3 x 7".  I used My Pink Stamper stamps to add little "punnies" to the tabs.  For the "sisters" title I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  The letters are 1.75" and I used my Gypsy to weld them together, added the sparkle embossing powder, and covered them with Glossy Accents.  For the dog border going along the bottom of the pocket, I used the Paper Pups cartridge.  The border is two images welded together and it measures 6.75" x 1.21".  To finish off the page I added some Prima flowers with button brads.  For the last page I cut a piece of brown cardstock measuring 4.75" x 6.25", embossed it using the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder, and scored it 1/2" from the top (I used my ATG gun to adhere it to the album).  I mounted my photos with photo corners and added ribbon and embellishments to the top to finish it off.  The last thing I did was bind the album together using my Bind-it-All.  This album was really fun to make and I can see myself making more albums in the future!  See ya later! :)

Dog Mini Album- Part 2

Hey there!  I hope everyone is enjoying their 3 day weekend as much as I am! :)  Yesterday I went and hung out with a couple of friends, and today I've been working on a yearbook for my students.  I can't believe another school year is almost over!!!!  Anywho, here are the next couple of pages from my mini album.   



I wanted these two pages to show off pictures of my dogs when they were puppies.  For the dogs I used the Create a Critter cartridge, both are cut at 2".  The white dog is actually the dog in the booklet wearing the fire helmet, so I had to round the top of the shadow off (with my scissors) to get rid of the hat.  I hid their faces on my Gypsy, and then stamped faces for them using the Peachy Keen Critter Faces- medium.  The titles are from the Alphalicious cartridge.  They are cut at 1.94" and I used my Gypsy to weld them together.  I embossed them with the same sparkle embossing powder and then covered them with Glossy Accents.  The pockets measure 4 x 6", the layers for the pockets are 3 3/4 x 5 3/4".  I added eyelets with my Crop-a-Dile and brown ribbon.  The tags inside the pockets were cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More at 3.25 x 6.25".  I added ribbon scraps to the ends of the tags and stapled them into place.  I put two tags in each pocket and used them for puppy pictures and journaling.  Whew!  That's a lot of explaining...  Hope you likey!!! :)   

Dog Mini Album- Part 1

Hey there everyone!  I made this mini-album for my sweet little pups!  It's dimensions are 5 x 7.  This was my first (and only so far) mini album that I've made.  I was excited with how it turned out!! :)  Today I will show you the cover and the first pages...

The paper that I used was Pressed Petals Dogs 'n Cats Assortment (I glued the paper onto pieces of old cereal boxes to make the pages).  The title was a sticker that I had (sorry I can't remember which brand).  Both of the dogs were cut from the Paper Pups cartridge.  The white dog was cut at 2.18", and I made it fuzzy using Fuzzy Fun Flock-Cotton Ball White.  The black dog was cut at 1.47", and I used Fuzzy Fun Flock-Plain Old Black.  I inked all of the edges with my Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip ink pad, drew on some collars with a red marker, and added Star Dust Stickles and Glossy Accents for the finishing touches.



I made the frames for the pictures by using 2 scalloped rectangles from the Create a Critter cartridge.  The big rectangle is cut at 6.51" and the inner rectangle was cut at 5.11".  To make the tennis ball I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge to cut a piece of green paper at 9.82" (not sure why it was that big).  I made it fuzzy using Fuzzy Fun Flock- Lemonade Yellow, then I freehanded some white strips and cut them to glue on top.  For their names I used the Doodletype cartridge.  The letters are 1.24", and I welded them together using my Gypsy.  I used my white gel pen to do stitching, embossed them with "a la mode" sparkle embossing powder, and then covered it with Glossy Accents.  I love this embossing powder because it adds glitter and it made the letters feel like chipboard. 

Hope you enjoy!  Keep checking back to see the other pages.... :)
