Happy Friday everone! It's Alphabet Challenge time and today's
letter is... Z for Zig Zags! I knew immediately what image I wanted to use... this adorable snake from QKR Stampede! I think it's a perfect image for zig zags and he's such a CUTE rattlesnake! LOL!
My husband and I live around some not so cute rattlesnakes!! We actually live steps away from a Plains Conservation area... so we have our share of wildlife (coyotes, foxes, antelope & tons of gorgeous birds) and a snake or two! We love it out here... and we take all necessary precautions when it comes to our JRT Quinn! I try to walk everyday and in the heat of the summer we are nowhere near this area or any of the trails because a rattlesnake could be "sunning"! Also, my fur baby is never allowed to roam the backyard by himself in the pitch dark... I don't want a coyote to hop over the fence for a visit! We make sure our little guy is safe and sound at all times! ...and speaking of my little guy, look what his Grammy bought him for Christmas! :) OMGosh what a cutie! I love his new jacket and it's perfect for our very cold and snowy walks!
Anyway, back to my card... my image is colored with Copics and cut out with the Large Deckled nesties and then I sponged around the edges. The sentiment is from C.C. Designs and the bg is embossed with the CB Tiny Bubbles folder. I used my new MFT Chevron die to create the zig zags and to finish it up I added a hand dyed bow.
For more inspiration be sure to stop by the challenge blog and take a look at the DT fabulous creations!

Hi Tammy
I could not imagine myself living where you are. I would have to grow wings and fly through the air to avoid such a wild life. I am freaked out if I see a litte spider in our house never mind wrestling snakes, coyotes and God knows what else (LOL).
Saying that loving your card and finding the image very cute. Love the embossing and the zig zags too.

Aww what a fun card Tammy, and so colourful... nice place you live there ha ha but not the rattlesnakes I think :P .. lovely photo of your little doggy too. That jacket looks so nnice :)
Oh my, this is so cute! And cool! The embossed pattern and chevron borders are perfect for your snake themed card, and what a fun matching sentiment! Love it!
Oh So LOVE thisssss. this is too cute. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at For Fun!
Well, now Tammy, I've just NEVER seen a cute rattlesnake - but this one really is!!! VERY cute and love the colors. We have the snakes, coyotes, and all that other fine stuff too - keeps life interesting!!! LOL!
Love your pup and his new jacket!!! SUPER cute.

Very cute and unusual card. Thanks for playing at CR.
Hi, Tammy! I'm sorry your rattlesnakes are not as sweet as this adorable image you have so beautifully colored and shaded LOL Too bad Mother Nature cannot be more cooperative. We have seen rattlers around here, too, but lately, the black snakes and indigos seem to be keeping them away. Your puppy is sweet as can be! Back to your card - love the cactus coloring and the matching embossed CS in the back - and the zig-zag border looks magical! Wonderful card!
Your little guy is so adorable in his new jacket! The fur around the hood is too cute! Oh, and your card is fabulous too! Love the embossed background!
This is adorable! I just love the embossing and the strips of color along the bottom :)
This is the 2nd time I've stopped at your card. I'm really attracted to the embossing and chevron stripes that coordinate so well with your image. That sentiment is great, too. Thanks for sharing your art with us at The Perfect Sentiments Challenge.
Saw your card from one of the challenge blogs. Your card caught my attention as you used snake in your card. This is because this Lunar Chinese New Year is Snake Year and I made a card or two with snake themed cards but my snake image is limited to one. When I saw your card, I am just so happy as I found another snake image! Please visit my blog at http://messagekeeper.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-snake-year-2.html for the Snake Year card! :)
This is wonderful Tammy, I love the colours :)
Thank you for joining us at Sentimental Sundays & Good Luck!

This card makes me so happy! I love the colors and the snake-and the sentiment too! So wonderful! Thank you so much for joining us at For Fun Challenges! :)
Tammy this card is soooo darn cute that it almost makes me forget how not cute the rattlers are. My husband was bit by one on our backyard a couple years ago, not good! Here in the desert we also share the space with coyotes, snakes, quail and lots of bugs. I never walk at night because of the snakes. Your little guy is so cute with his warm coat ;)
Too Darned CUTE Miss Tammy!! So funny to say this about a rattle snake, lol. I think if I ever saw one up close and personal I'd take off running, lol 8-) But this one is a Cutie for sure! 8-)
Hugs
Shannon
Gorgeous card Tammy. Loving the zig zags. Your little fur baby is the cutest ever.
