Me and my buddy, Linus

Today is the beginning of a new month, and the start of a new challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ. The challenge for this month is ANYTHING GOES AND INCLUDE A HANDMADE BOW. I used this adorable image from Little Miss Muffet named Polka Dot Pal Gail. (No this is not a coincidence that my name and the image's name is the same...read below!)

I used the following dies on my card: Dienamics double stitched oval, Joy square behind the oval, QuicKutz corner swirl and Frantic Stamper sentiment "hugs". My paper is by Whimsy and the crocheted heart, lace, sequins and pearls are from my stash of supplies.


I'd like to fill you in on this digital image. I won the Weekly Giveaway at Little Miss Muffet in December. The prize was working with Barbara of LMM to design a custom stamp for me. Can you think of a better prize...a stamp that you help design and is made to your liking? It was easy for me to give suggestions for my stamp since I designed it after me! I wear a ponytail, I live where it's hot (so summer clothes) and I have a young lemon colored beagle named Linus (I also have a smaller tri-color beagle named Lucy).

This is the image we finalized and I colored the beagle here like Linus and have included a picture of him below. The difference between me and the image on my card is that I have gray hair and the image has black hair. And, the difference between Linus and the image on the card is that he has grown up a bit!

Here's a close-up picture of the image. I colored it with Copics.

I always save the best for last...here's my fabulous triple looped satin bow and I added a dog paw button (with the back cut off) in the middle of my bow. This bow came out wonderful using my Craft-Dee BowZ tool. I could never have made it without the assistance of my bow tool and it was so easy to make, too!
