It has been quite awhile since I've been bitten by the illustration bug but I had this idea in my head that just wouldn't leave me alone! I love how it turned out though and the hearts are so much fun to color! I stayed with the traditional green leaves but this would look so cute as a multicolored tree as well :)  It's nice when you buy a holiday themed stamp set that is versatile enough that you can use all year long!

The Doxie With Moxie / Size Matters Blog Hop Challenge



It’s no secret, we are DEFINITELY in love with everything Torico does here are There She Goes, and we know you are, too. This month she has honored us by creating a set that we have been begging for…meet The Doxie with Moxie!! SUPER cute dachshunds, along with several sentiments, outfits, and even a city scene for our more “elegant” pups, this set is just TOO much fun.

The Doxie with Moxie is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 32 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

When brainstorming The Doxie with Moxie set, there was a lot of chatter about sentiments…and some of them took a turn for the funny, but…risqué, lol! We couldn’t live without them, so we decided to create the Size Matters set. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely funny!!

Size Matters is a 3x4 set that includes 7 stamps for $9.00.

Would you like to win the new The Doxie with Moxie and Size Matters stamp sets? Here is what you need to do-visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go.

It's been awhile since I've made card that I really liked and even though this card took me a few hours to finally complete, I gotta say- I love it! The cute little Doxies in this set are so much fun to dress up and the background images that Torico added in this set are the perfect scene for this distinguished little guy :-)

I stamped the city scene directly onto the designer paper and then stamped it again onto white cardstock, colored the windows, cut out and adhered to the card base using dimensionals. The Doxie was stamped onto white cardstock and colored. I then stamped the clothes onto white cardstock, colored, cut out and adhered to the dog before cutting the dog out and adhering it to the card using dimensionals. I stamped the lampost onto white cardstock, colored the light, cut out and adhered as the top image onto the card.
