Tote-ally Tess

Click on the Photo to Enlarge

Hi Stampers! I seldom reach for Tote-ally Tess and I don't know why...I just love her! I got the idea for the blocked background from Kriss Huels, thanks Kriss! The colors used in the background are Bermuda Bay (I am gonna miss that color...), Certainly Celery and Soft Suede. For Tess' out fit, I simply paper pieced her shirt and pants, super easy! Her shirt was a scrap of Pumpkin Pie Designer Paper from the Sweet Pea Pack. I cut off the handle of her tote and attached Linen Thread instead for a different look. Oh, and I popped up the card in her hand and the panel that Tess is stamped on. That's it!

I will leave you today with a photo of my little sweetheart, Lady. Don't you just love her old "frosted" face?

Happy Stamping!

Laurie your card is sooooo CUTE!! I know I will be back to enjoy many of your past posts. I found your blog from Dawn Olchefske's blog.

Your lady - baby is soooo SWEET! Amazing how their coats change, as they age.


Thank you for your inspiration!

Laurie, Lady is gorgeous! What a sweetie!
It was wonderful to see a Tess card again. Love this color combination and your little bit of twine on her bag was the perfect touch.
thanks so much for sharing this fabulous creation with us - and finishing up your post with Lady's pic:-)
