Happy Friday!!! It is time for another one of Beate’s wsc.
I cringe when I have to work with ovals. I’m probably the only stamper who doesn’t own an oval punch or diecut of some sort. I do have the oval coluzzle, but I really don’t like it. When I saw that big nice oval on this weekends sketch, I knew I was faced with a challenge…lol I tried to keep my sample as close as possible to the sketch, but the tag ended up hanging too low. I didn’t want to raise the dog tag up cause you wouldn’t be able to see some of the collar details.
I love dogs. I wanted to try and use every dog image from the MFT set Gone to the Dogs. Let me tell you — I was masking most of Wednesday evening. There are 12 dogs….a breed for everyone!
Couple things: Collar is Twill Tape dyed with craft ink. Silver eyelets, closure, and loop to twill to make the collar look sorta realistic. Silver eyelets to 3 corners with mini brown brads.
Head on over to the blogs of these extremely talented stampers to see more samples for the wsc:
Have a wonderful weekend! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL OF YOU. Hmmm…how about a day of stamping with no interruptions & a clean stamping area with all supplies easy to find..lol:) After chatting with some friends regarding all our stamping stuff, I am organizing this weekend.
beauty lies within 
I thot {I} was the only one who didn’t own any and had figured I wouldn’t participate in this sketch challenge because of it but now maybe I will! LOVE your card … as usual!
Have a t’riffic weekend!
Oh, holy coloring. This is *amazing*, MJ! Beautiful work!

Oh my goodness. I bet you were masking most of the evening. It’s so worth it though. Your card is amazing. Your coloring is like always out of this world.
I am glad you didn’t go with ovals but made this beauty! Awesome sample for the sketch!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and smiles
P.S.: It’s really time that you give up your resistance and buy some Nestabilities. You know you NEED them. LOL
What a fun card! I love all the dogs. I also liked how your put the brads inside the eyelets. So clever you are!
You are too funny! You cringe when you have to work with ovals! LOL I LOVE this card! LOOK at that pack of dogs! Oh my. . .what wonderful masking! have a wonderful weekend and Mother’s Day! HUGS!
Holy hot dawg! AWESBOMB! Your coloring is amazing! And, I LOVE that dog tag! TOO CREATIVE!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
As always, Mary Jo, this is outta this world! Love the dog collar and tag, and of course your gaggle of poochies (I suppose it’s not really a gaggle, but I can’t think of what a bunch of poochies would be called???).
BTW, I don’t own an oval punch or those darn nesti–whatever they’re called, wink, wink!

This is stinkin’ cute! Love the dog collar and the bone tag… Just too adorable! Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Awesome card MJ!!
What an adorable card!
And no, you aren’t the only stamper without those things. I don’t have any ovals either. Not for lack of want but for lack of funds, time to look, laziness….you know, the major things. teehee!
I just love, love your dog card – amazing coloring, so many creative ideas….and the masking looks like a lot, a lot of work! Hope it will go to somebody who appreciates it!!
Okay…you are AMAZING, you know that??!!! Your coloring is beyond gorgeous (if I lived closer I would SO sign up for Private coloring lessons!!!)! Your card is so unique…and just beautiful!
I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day!!
As always…. WOW!
That is an AMAZING card! I love the detail and can appreciate the hard work and creativity involved. Bones are sort of oval!
very cool, love your coloring and how you have them all together, neat idea with the twill for a collar, love it!
Love your canine collection! I think I see my boy Lobie on the top left! So how many sets of dogs are all of these? I must go right over and check them out! I have a couple of the dogs walking sets, but that is all. Your collar is so cleaver! Ruff ruff!
Have a happy healthy day! Deb
Oh my gosh Mary Jo, those dogs are adorable. You are such a clever little bunny. Love it. Yep-love the sound of the “ideal” Mother’s Day you’ve suggested. Hope it’s great whatever you get up to.
Totally adorable MJ! Fantastic job with all the masking….you brave lady 🙂 Turned out great!!! Well worth the effort….such a fun card!
This is adorable! Love all those little dogs!!
This card is fantastic! You are super talented!
WOW this is just fabulous! I LOVE dogs too and have been arguing with myself about purchasing this set since it came out on Wednesday or whatever day that was. I think you should have a blog candy drawing for this card and I think I should win it!! I need to hold it!
Diane 🙂
OMGosh, this is so adorable – and I can’t imagine the effort it must have been to mask all of those doggies! Wow. You are one dedicated stamper. 🙂
This card is soooo cute!! Where does the dog bone tag come from??
