Puppys are fun. No really, they are.

Written by

Puppys are so much fun. All cute and waggy tails and all. Puppy dog eyes and floppy ears. Irresistable. I keep telling myself, convincing myself, of this every day as I struggle to tell Penny for the 8000th time that the bone stays outside. My toes are not chew toys. No I do not want to play a game of "Around the lounge without touching the floor".

Ahhhh the fun times… I love her really, we all do. We look forward to the days when she's less play and more companion though. We were prepared to work hard, and work hard we are. She's a feisty type and it's taking some strict rules to try and keep her in line while she is learning.

Here is a layout done with some LilyBee Designs products – notice there is not one scrap of teal on this anywhere. Go me. It's a little different to my usual, but it was fun to tap into my more graphic side. Actually it was hard to find, but it was fun all the same.

Supplies:
Patterned paper by LilyBee Designs.
Kraft Cardstock sprayed by Studio Calico Mr Huey's Mists in white.

Chipboard Letters – American Crafts
Washi Tape (black stripe with green paper through the middle) Queen & Co
Small letter stickers – LilyBee designs.
Punches – Martha Stewart
Little Doilie – a free gift from Scottie Crafts when I ordered something recently (Cool!)
Baker's Twine – The Twinery
Brown swirl transparency – an old 7gypsies one.

Just a note - my layout was inspired by a layout I saw online and I can't tell you where or who created it, but the photo positioning with the circle embellishments were inspired by one I saw online. I drew a sketch when I saw it and didn't note down who it belonged to. Apologies for the lack of linking to the original!

If only you could all see what is going on in this office right now. Seriously. I type a few words, lean down and say "Penny, no bite!" "Penny, leave the electrical cords!", Penny NO! and on it goes….

Puppys are fun. Really. They are.

I love your graphic style. And Penny. And the colours. What’s not to like? Baby animals are so cute. I love the way they all of a sudden crash land and sleep ever so soundly. In the doorway, on the sofa, on your lap, uner the table, half off the steps, wherever sleep came calling.

Beautiful layout Nic. I cant wait to see more of your puppy layouts as I always seem to get stuck when I scrap our dog. I agree that they are so much fun and loveable even when being a little naughty

Hey Nic, Penny looks gorgous, we recently got my son a kitten of his own for his 8th birthday – best present ever he reckons! Unfortunately our other cat doesn’t agree and the kitten chases him out the cat door every time she shows her face, we were advised to keep a small water gun handy to squirt the kitten with and boy does it work, hardly have to use it now, although I used it on her when she was trying to claw my 12 x 12 paper storage cabinet and I also got the husband a beauty last night as he walked past!! It might work with the puppy, worth a try 🙂

Ahhh…I remember those days! Potty training, the chewing, etc. I must have gotten a pretty lazy Cavvie. 🙂 He was pretty mellow from the start. I do have a 10.5 year old Sheltie who is still a ball of energy. While she is house broke, we are still reprimanding her. She is a huge food hound, always scrounging around for something (mind you she gets nothing, but keeps trying). And the barking, oh the barking! She is lucky she is cute. 🙂

YUM! I Love the lime green with the kraft/brown, just love it to bits and Penny is just adorable but you already knew that!
We have four cats, each with their own wierd quirks. Pippi eats our curtain netting – literally. I’ve had to replace them twice already.
