The challenge is to make a card inspired by a book and to use the colours black white and red which coincides nicely with the Play Date Cafe's colours as well this week, as so many others have realised too :)
I've thought a lot about this and have to say I'm not much of a bookworm now, as I was as a child ( I just don't have the time) so I thought about the books we had at home, and the colour inspiration too which just pointed to 101 Dalmations..... yep, I've always been animal mad !
The dalmatian paper came in a kids card stock pack so I photocopied and enlarged it onto matt card, made a collar,buckle and a tag too. Couldn't think of a sentiment inspired by the story so 'Yappy Birthday' it is!
Seeing as the card is sentiment focused I thought I would enter it into ...Wee Memories challenge this week too. Here are the bunch of challenges and links
Here's hoping it will resolve itself , I'm scheduling this post to publish at 11am GMT on Monday 5th Sept , so lets see what happens!!! Oh tried scheduling and it didn't work, so I'll publish it as normal now at 8.45 AM GMT and see when it decides to appear!
Thanks so much for time, any comments gratefully received :)
Bye X
wonderful! every little detail is great! the card depicts the story perfectly - perfect card!
ReplyDeleteI love this card!!! The red belt is perfect! Love that you chose a dalmation!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I see delays in posts but can't figure it out either. Your card is entirely way too cute and utterly creative! Love the splash of red.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! 101 dalmations...I love it! I am not sure about my own posts but I have noticed type pad posts taking a while to appear in my reader. Not sure what is going on. I have also switched to the new dashboard.
ReplyDeleteI saw it just now when I logged into blogger if that helps :) My answer to the question is also apparently a sun burnt penguin according to the kids :) Beautiful card, love all those spots and the red collar .
ReplyDeleteVery clever and cute. Love that dog collar! I want to enter this challenge too but the card I've made does have a little skin tone on it - hope it still qualifies. I don't think I've had any issues with my posting.
ReplyDeletePongo and Misses Pongo give this card two paws up! Very clever way to getting a piece of paper the size you needed, too.
ReplyDeleteIngenius Jenny! I love your dog collar! Such a fab idea and a great take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteanother clever and creative card, jenny! love it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ingenious Jen

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, that challenge would have had me stumped but what a fantastic idea you came up with! Brilliant card! xx

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! I LOVE this card. I wish I could get inside that brain of yours and see things as you do... maybe a little Frankenstein brain exchange for us. What do you think?

Absolutely gorgeous Jenny - love your card and love the book too. I read it to my boys at bedtime a few years ago and they were riveted! (I do a great Cruella de Vil if I say it myself!) I was going to say your card hasn't appeared on my dashboard at all - but I must've missed it. I'll check. Vx
ReplyDeleteI love the spots and especially love the red dog collar! What a "yappy", fun card!
ReplyDeleteGet out!! This is genius! Love the red collar paired with the paper...did I say I love that red color? :) Thanks for playing this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI just knew what the book right off the bat! This is fabulous! Awesome job!

Brilliant interpretation and a gorgeous card, love the "dog" collar :)
ReplyDeleteLove it Jenny! What a perfect take for the inspiration! p.s. what a great belt!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny google is so bad thinking of going over to word press but am afraid to in case I lose everything. I can't seem to schedule anything it just publishes it straight away so sorry am no help. Fabulous dynamic Dalmatian card stunning work as usual.
