It's Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! Anne Marie is hostessing a Theme Challenge...Humor! So dust off those cute images and "punny" sentiments, and join in the fun! As for me, I did not have a lot of stamps to choose from, so I really had to think outside of the box. I hope you enjoy our little Scottie's "Big Dream"!
The Stampin' Schach Design Tips: Improvising
The finished card measures 4-1/4" wide by 5-1/2" long.
- Dreamy clouds! I do not own a Stampin' Up! "Cloud" stamp, so I simply traced around the chipboard clouds from the On Board Merry Medley chipboard collection. A Stampin' Write Journaler did the trick! Tips: Before tracing around the clouds, use a Sanding Block to remove the little paper nibs. And make certain to wait until the journaler is completely dry...or your white clouds could become storm clouds!
- BIG! Need BIG letters in a snap? The Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Medium Sizzlets Dies are the perfect solution! And that adorable "Dotted" pattern? It is from the new Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper collection, available today!
- Scottie and the Giant Hydrant! What little boy dog doesn't dream of a Giant Fire Hydrant? A marriage of two stamp sets gives the illusion of a giant hydrant and a small dog. The scottie is courtesy of Friends Fur-ever. And the hydrant??? All I know is that it is from a vintage 1997 Stampin' Up! set. This was way before my Stampin' Up! time...but I know that someone out there knows the name of this set. It is probably one of those old "doggy" sets that I would LOVE to own!
So there you have it! A little humor on this first day of April...and that's no foolin'! As always, your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one. (I feel badly that I am so far behind in responding back to them.) Remember, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time...

You surely chose well!! That's just adorable; I love it! You can probably find those old sets on Splitcoast Stampers. And please, don't ever stress over answering my comments - if I need an answer, I'll e-mail : )

Love it!
Awesome Ann, cutiest little animal card I have seen in awhile.
So cute, Ann! I love it! Great sentiment, lots of great details....adorable. Thanks!
What a cute card!Love the background.
I've loved every card you have made with this set - and this is no exception! Dog-gone adorable! Love that textured background - almost looks metallic with the smudging!
LUV IT! Woof, woof!
Cute and funny card. I can tell you're a dog owner!
I love this, Ann!! And so perfect for those little dogs that think they are bigger than they really are (my little Lexi is the perfect example!). Love your take on the challenge.
Please give the Twins extra treats from me today in honor of April Fools!
Ann this is SO cute. Love the little scottie dog and the scotch plaid and HOUNDStooth is PERFECT; So clever.
Love the BIG in polka dots and the hydrant is too fun. hugs.
You pulled the humor off well, Ann. I have Timeless Type but have only used it for scrapbooking. Your letters work well on this card.
This is just too adorable! I love how you did the background and those big letters are awesome! This really does describe my two little terriers, they definitely think they are bigger than they really are!
Loved your card, as always. I found that stamp set in question in an old catty from 2000-2001 called Bow Wow. Hope you can find it somewhere since it has some other images that I think you would like. Good luck!
PAWsitively too cute! Crap, Diane picked up on the scotch plaid and the houndstooth! I am going to have to get up earlier and get my comments in first! Just kidding! I had to look for that pearl - of course pearls on the dog collar wouldn't be too "manly" I guess. I love polka dots and plaids but they can be tricky together but you pulled it off "paws" down! No bones about it, this card definitely brought smiles out.

This is SERIOUSLY cute!!! And I can't believe you managed to find a spot for a pearl. You are TRULY awesome!
It's a really cute card!

This is so adorable, love how you used these two sets together, definetly a dogs big dream, lol.
Hilarious card Ann...really fun!! Love that embossing folder, it looks great on this card!
What a great sense of humor and it shows in your card--love it.
Absolutely adorable! I was thinking 'doggie' card when I saw the fire hydrant snippet yesterday.
Oh, you already know what I think of this card....laughing out loud!!!
Hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle, Ann!

This is precious! And innovative. You really stretched your imagination and put a number of ideas together. The result is charming.
toooo funny Ann ~ stilling giggling over here!!! Enjoy your day :-)
I love your card! Great color and I love the Friends Fur-ever set! :-)
Im not foolin' ... this is too cute! love the colors you have used!
This card makes me smile, Ann! I don't know why i haven't bought that set yet, as that little guy kind of looks like a Schnauzer. I really like how you combined the houndstooth embossing with the color combo. Very "preppy!" :)
SO Cute Ann! That doggie is having one happy day! I love the clouds, they are so Perfect!
Hugs

Such a cute and funny card Ann. What dog would love the giant fire hydrant!!!
This certainly brought a smile to my face. Adorable. Great idea pairing the plaid paper with the scottie.
What can I say that hasn't already been said. Friends Fur-ever is one of my "favs" too. Love your take on the "Tickling Your Funnybone". The paper couldn't be more perfect (I know bad grammar)!
Love it!! Love the Scottie Dog ! Very cute and clever card! Thanks for sharing!
What a great sense of humor, Ann!! Love the Scottie dog with the Houndstooth EF and plaid DSP theme; the DSP used for "BIG" & that tiny little pearl on the hydrant! Another great card, Ann! Hugs
What a darling card! Really love this color combo!
Awww, so stinkin' cute...and funny Ann! Good on ya for thinking outside the box! Love the plaid paper background and of course, the clouds! Adorable! Big congrats to Brady the Boy on his new responsibilities...Ann the Mama must be so proud!
oh....my favorite stamp set in the whole world..... I just lost my westie, Chansey the other day after 13 1/2 years.... beautiful card, Ann!
Wow Ann this is so funny! Love how you combined sets to create an absolutely adorable and humorous card. You really thought outside the box on this one- very, very clever!
I do love this card! So cute and clever!
