A gift

I have a quick story to share. We got the robo vacuum running. Daisy's dishes are metal. She was in the living room with us and the robo was sweeping. It went in the kitchen and ran into her bowls and they clanged. She took off like a shot to the kitchen!  I don't know if she thought robo was eating her food or giving her some but she hurried to check it out.

One of my dearest friends sent this paintbrush die from Spellbinders to me. This card describes my feelings for her as she does color my world. I smooshed three colors on my palette and flicked it on the panel and the bristles. I used a scrap pattern paper to choose the colors. The frame die is Penny Black and the sentiment from Lawn Fawn  is stamped in the same three colors. I will add this card to mynbus.

Edited to add: I am also playing at die-cut-divas.



Be kind to one another.

  3. That story about Daisy is hilarious. She surely is protective of her food dishes. What a nice gift--something you can use for your hobby. Cute card. I like the border die that shows the background paper.

  4. Saw this at NBUS and had to check it out. I've see the brush before and it is so cute. Lucky you to have a friend send it to you.

  5. What a fabulous card, Brenda! Fritz has metal bowls, too. If I bump the food dish he definitely comes for food & there's no telling him it isn't time to eat!

  6. Dogs are just pure joy aren't they? What a cute story! Next time you get the robot sweeper out, she'll probably head to the kitchen to protect her food! LOL Lucky you getting this sweet paintbrush die from a friend! I love the card design and sentiment to go along with it too! Happy May Day!

  11. This turned out so cute, Brenda! I love the pp color choices and how the color adorns the brush tips and the sediment! It's a great design for either gender. I feel like my reaction would have been the same as Daisy if I heard someone clanging around in my cookie jar! Thank you for entertaining and inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

  15. So lovely is your colorful paint brush and frame! I think my silly dog would bark and follow a robo vac, lol! A cute story how Daisy ran to check her food dish, lol! Have a great rest of the week and a Happy Mother’s Day, too!!

  17. Back to check & sure enough, my comment isn't here. I'll try again. Got a big kick out of your Daisy story. Fritz has metal dishes, too. If I accidently bump it, he comes running expecting food! Such a fun, creative card, Brenda!
