Travel The World!
After Lisa made reference to some of us might be "smarty pants," I had all sorts of ideas for the Bloggers Challenge theme of "Travel." Then I decided to fly straight! I have wanted to use Mr. Tim's Air Travel stamps, so I decided today would be the day! I did a couple of technique's from the "Compendium of Curiosities," one is that you emboss your image with clear embossing powder and then do you inking and other stamping and then remove with an iron. Really if you don't own this book, it is a pretty great investment!
I would have posted this earlier, but my lunch bell (Molly) was just ringing away! How many of you know about Dalmatians? Well, I have had the honor of owning two and never did I set out to get a purebred, it just happened with the first, Misty! We did this "Sponsor a Life" event at the local shelter and for fun, we went to see the dog we were sponsoring. We were so excited to see how lovely she was and knew without a doubt that she would be adopted! I called that Monday to check her status and was told, she would be put down in an hour. I lost it and cried like a baby and told them, don't you do that! We will take her. I called my hubby and told him to go to the shelter and pick up Misty! We already had Shadow a smooth coat Border Collie (the little one in my pic), so I had not planned on #2. When Misty died, Shadow got so depressed and we ended up at the shelter and there was Molly! Anyway, this got very long to tell you that Dalmatians are very vocal and have no problems telling you in is time to get up at 5:30 AM on weekends or that it is time to eat!
Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by for a visit! Oh, come by tomorrow for a little surprise!

I really like this tag ~ the plane looks like's 'in the air' the way it's placed! So cool.
Dogs are such a joy are they not?!? Glad you are enjoying yours.
Your tag is great, makes me want to travel. Glad you were able to save your new friend.
Awesome tag. Love the mixture of images and how you created the background.
Enjoyed hearing about your dogs as well. It's nice to know your animals are well loved.
beautiful travel tag Terry! xo
Your story about the dogs is very moving, thank you for sharing.
Loving your wonderful tag and I totally agree with you about the CofC book, its fabulous for so many techniques. Enjoy the weekend, Annette x
I SO hadn't thought of using that technique with the passenger ticket- but I love, love, love how it turned out!
Thx for sharing your doggie story, I had always thought I'd love to have a Dalmatian, but we ended up with two toy poodles instead...and funny enough, they were the one dog we weren't interested in having. But Hercules would've been put down and we saved him too! =)
Great tag, love Tim's stamps. Thanks for playing with us at blogger's challenge!
What a terrific tag, Terry! Great images! Have a wonderful weekend! :D
Love your travel tag Terry!! Has a real masculine "feel" to it too!! I also love your dalmation story!!!
Great tag Terry! Love the plane and I have never tried embossing and ironing over it! OMG, I am a night owl, I would not like it if my dog woke me up at 5:30AM!
Wow, gorgeous, Terry!!! I love this tag and your doggy story...aren't they such a blessing? If you get a chance, hop over to the Girl's Club--you are featured!

This is so cool, that plane is coming right at me, how'd ya' do that? I still miss my Penny after 30 years she was the best companion. Egg is standing tall!
A great tag, as always (love how placing them off the tag simulates movement), but I really love you doggy rescue story! thanks for sharing it,

Love your travel tag Terry. The story of your dogs was very moving. We rescued one of our collies many years ago, following a radio broadcast. Yvonne x
Love this tag, Terry! The way you've done the plane is awesome - it looks like it's coming in for a landing! Enjoy your new pooch - does this mean we'll be seeing lots of spots in your artwork?
Ahhhhh.. What a big heart you have. I enjoyed reading how you ended up with your spotted friends...
Your tag is gorgeous as usual. Hope you have a happy weekend my friend..
Hugs, Linda
