First of all: I’ll get the blog candy winner announced on my next post!

I have a little digi page to share today. I use the same kit from yesterday’s card, the Matahati Design Vintage Charm from Scrap Orchard. The flower on the top left and bottom right I extracted from a pattern paper. I like to digi scrap like paper scrapping so I’d “cut” out images from different pattern papers. It’s tons easier in digi than traditional sometimes. I actually have a video tut for it if you’re interested – and other extracting methods in my digi tut video stash.

My in-laws left this morning which means I have the craft/guest room back. M had a great time with them. We’re also cat sitting for a few months. Cute cute thing but she’s still hissing now and then. She let me pet her last night and this morning but she still hates the dogs. I’ll take some shots of her when she’s more comfortable with the family and house. I think I’ll clean first before I get to crafting tho and oh, cut the dogs’ hair. Yes, I am the dog groomer too. Made the $150-ish Andis dog hair trimmer purchase so so worthwhile (bought it in the spring of 2007 and it’s still awesome — more less this model — I got mine at Petco with a coupon or it was on sale cause a new model was coming out… didn’t pay the full price for sure). Two dogs at $35/trim, paid this thing off in two grooming sessions!! If you want to save some $$ and cut your own dog’s hair don’t be stingy. We did the stingy route and so not worth it. Took a few hours instead of an hour for both dogs. Cough up the $$$ and you’ll have a “smooth” cutting time. Now, if your dog can’t stay still, it might just be worth the $35/trim at the groomer {::SMILES}. But try putting him/her on a table first to see if s/he will stay put.

Beautiful page and what a lovely photograph! You could definitely have a little supermodel there if you’d like to make a little extra cash!
