I used this image for FABULOUS FEATURED STAMPER Vicki Dutcher this week......and it was so much fun the first time I decided to give it another go around. What a fun image to color!! Now, photographing, that was another story. I usually make my cards open at the bottom but this one was a bit too big so I had it open at the side. Well that honkin' bow made it kinda side heavy and I literally had to photograph a moving object cuz the girls kept falling down. Then I discovered that all this time there is a reason why a green or red light comes on just before I take the picture. I had a stroke of genius and realized for the first time that green most likely means go and red the opposite, WHAT A REVELATION. But pride comes before the fall....I was a little too proud of myself, because after taking a boatload of pictures I realized the sandisk, that little magic thing that makes the pictures move from your camera to your computer, was still plugged into my computer from yesterday, thus, a second agonizing photo shoot for the girls, who have fallen down so much this morning they are both in tears. Anyway- the card took less time to color then it did for me to get a decent picture!! Happy Tuesday everyone, no dessert for me today, these guys just don't go so well with newsprint. Besides, I NEED to go on a diet. I think I have to take in the teapot challenge tomorrow - since girls are prolly not welcome with all those boys and bassetthounds.....but then, maybe they need a girl or two to shake things up, to make sure the doggies are being properly taken care of, and to play a little baseball themselves!! Ahhhh, maybe not. Well I played baseball in school and that was back in the day when girls had to wear dresses!!! (yes, believe it or not there was such a day.) So here are the girls, ready for bassett hounds and, baseball anyone???
