New stamps, products, a little Text Leaf! and an old man dog!

Discovering new stamps is sooo fun, but sooooo dangerous on the ol' pocketbook. Does anyone call it a pocketbook anymore? lol! I did some searching around SCS member companies last week and found my way into 2 new-to-me stamp companies. One was Flourishes and the other was Technique Tuesday! Oh, my werd!!!! there are some beautiful stamps in those stores. I placed a weeeee little order with Technique Tuesday and WOW! BANG! Boom! Lightning fast they arrived. I'm am in loooooove ♥ with the Ali Edward's stamps. Her font is gorgeous! This set is Autumn Afternoons. I made this quick little card and even used some new Stampin' Up! products on it, too (trying to get into the IN Colors). OH, yeah, and some fun tags sprayed with Glimmer Mist (yeah, just discovered this fun product, too! purty cool, schtuff!). Isn't that text-style leaf just the cutest???!!!! I created this for the Papercrafts Sept. Gallery contest-use text in a fun way.

And just because he is so sweet and he's getting old. Wow! my 10yr. old golden looks so old in this picture. My littest guy (he's 3, remember) likes to take random pictures while I am on the computer. I let him snap, snap away and end up deleting most of what he does. This one, I'm keeping. I think it's a pretty good picture of Boomer Loomer! Look at that white moosh!
