The song chosen this week is:

(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?

Song by Patti Page

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California

And leave my poor sweetheart alone

If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome

And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I read in the papers there are robbers

With flashlights that shine in the dark

My love needs a doggie to protect him

And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty

I don't want a parrot that talks

I don't want a bowl of little fishies

He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale

I chose to work with an image from a set called Dog Tales too. As I am in full panic mode making Christmas cards I wanted to use the image to make a Christmas card. I coloured the image with grey scale Promarkers and fussy cut it. I found a Christmas lounge paper from Hunkydory which I have had in my stash forever. I created an outside wall using a Crafter's companion embossing folder and oxide inks. The window came with the folder.

The sentiment is from Spellbinders which is die cut 3 times and then I added a black sparkle pen on top. the decoration is also from another Spellbinders set.

 So now it is up to you to come join us. See you there, Theresa xx.

O Tannenbaum

Hi there. It is time for another Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge. This week our sponsor is Fred she said and there is a $10 gift voucher from the shop.

 The song I chose for this challenge is O Tannenbaum and below is the English version:

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

Your boughs, so green in Summer-time

Stay bravely green in Winter-time

O Tannenbaum, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

Let us all remember in our gift giving and our merriment

With our family and friends and loved ones

The real and true meaning of Christmas

The birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lovely are, are thy branches

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lovely are, how lovely are thy branches

Their pillars all please faithfully

Our trust in God unchangedly

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lo-lovely are thy branches

On Comet

On Cupid

On Donder and Blitzen

I chose to work with the line art image called Pine trees. As for coloring it in I used Letraset Promarkers. I added snow by hitting a white sharpie with a ruler. Stickles glitter glue helped to define the snowy ground and I also added some sequins for extra sparkle. The sentiment is a Memory Box die cut out of shiny black card.

Now it is over to you. Please come and join us here. Take care, Theresa xx.

October

 Hi there. It is time for another Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge. This week is all about Halloween as the song /poem chosen talks about this. 

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Lorie

October

by John Updike from A Child's Calendar

The month is Amber,

Gold and Brown.

Blue ghosts of smoke

Float through the town.

Great V’s of geese

Honk overhead.

And maples turn

A fiery red.

Frost bites the lawn.

The stars are slits

In the black cat’s eye

Before he spits.

At last, small witches,

Goblins, hags,

And pirates armed

With paper bags.

Their costumes hinged

On safety pins,

Go haunt a night

Of pumpkin grins.

Our sponsor this time is Polkadoodles and there are prizes up for grabs.

I chose to work with an image called Autumn Wheelbarrow which I coloured using Letraset Promarkers. The papers are from Graphic45. I finished it off with some black sequins.

So now it is over to you to come join us for this challenge. Take care Theresa x
