Here is a little peek at this week’s Pals Paper Arts card. It has been spritzed and bejeweled, as you can see! Please stop in again Thursday for the reveal. Of course, don’t forget to check out this week’s winners at the Pals!
Can We Go, Too?
One of the favorite things that the Twins love to do in the morning is watch the children walk to school. I happened to snap this picture of them “people watching” Tuesday morning. Muffy is standing on the back of the couch. What about those muscles! She now weighs in at 52 pounds. Brody is a whopping 57 pounds…and they are just turning 7 months! Wish them luck as they head off to the the show ring this weekend!

Ann,
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve loved your work for long time, but the stories and pictures of the “twins” take the take. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you share the cuties with us! Also congrats on the wins!
What a beautiful picture of your dogs! Love the lighting. I bet they’re gorgeous and lots of fun.
OMG what an incredible photo of these beautiful creatures. They are remarkable. I so love this breed, and I love how you refer to them as “the twins”. You are so lucky to have them as they are lucky to have you as a “Mom”. Thanks for sharing this amazing photo. Hug “The Twins” for me would you? Best, Curt
Ooooh MY what have we got going on here LOVELY!!! I was saying to my self Look at those muscles. Wow they are beautiful I really mean it they are stunning even from behind lolo. Isn’t it cute I bet they are saying to themselves…Did you see Cathy’s new coat nice! Look Ron is running late again…Oh Nicks mom is looking good this morning (NOT). I just love little Jackie he is so fun…
I don’t get to go online everyday like I used to, but whenever I DO get on, I always read your latest post whether it is about card making or your boxer twins. As a boxer mom and grand mom, I LOVED the photo of the boxer butts in the window…There’s nothing like a boxer butt for cuteness!!! Thanks for sharing your babies.
Hi Ann,
As always your card is beautiful! I look forward to seeing your video on the spritzer tool. I can’t believe the twins have grown so much, so fast! They are beautiful! I wish them much luck this weekend. I love blog candy and these colors are favorites of mine!
Joan!!!
Another gorgeous card Ann! Love the pink…and the pearl accents are stunning! Gorgeous photos of your pups too!…they sure are growing!

Your sneak peek has me very curious. I love the pearls and the spritzing that you did.
What a gorgeous photo of Muffy and Brody looking out the window. The lighting is perfect! I hope they do awesome at the ring this weekend. 🙂
Mary
You do such intricate work. The card looks beautiful but I am curious to see what is “lurking” on the other side! Love the pearls.
Wow, what handsome children you have! Thanks for the blog candy opportunity. 🙂
Hi Ann! I just love this photo of the Twins! Such good looking Boxers they are! Your peek is wonderful too. I will certainly be stopping by to see the whole thing.
Your sneak peek has “peeked my interest”. Your boxers are beautiful, thanks for sharing your picture.
What a beautiful sneak peek! I can’t wait to see the whole thing. Your pic of the dogs is great. It would make a good scrapbook page.
I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!!! Can’t wait to hear how they do this weekend. It is hard to be that they are 7 months old already. Little Miss Muffy is so pretty and how handsome is Master Brody. By the way – have you ever seen the movie The Ugly Dachshund? It is not about a boxer but a great dane – but I think you would thoroughly enjoy this movie. Thanks for including us in your fun!
Dogs are the best. My springer spaniel does the same thing at the window, however, he doesn’t refrain from barking at anyone that passes our house. Can’t wait to see your full card. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the picture of the Twins people watching! I really enjoy following along on their adventures. Good luck to them this weekend. jmniffer
Ann,
Great pic of the boxers. 52 and 57 pounds – to call them “puppies”?? How big do they get full grown?
I’m afraid I’d go broke feeding them! Good luck at your dog show.
Remember the Oakland Raider motto: Just Win Baby!!

Just discovered your blog and I’m loving it!!! Love the puppies as well!! I have 4 granddogs – 2 Jacks and 2 American Bull Dogs.
I can’t wait to see the full card. I can ALWAYS use more ribbon–thanks for the chance to win some. The twins are getting so big!
Your twins are so cute and growning so fast!! My pom girl watches out the window all the time and waits there when I am gone so she can see me drive up when I come home. Pets are awesome, aren’t they?
I could use some pretty ribbon!! Thanks for the chance.
Holy moley, the twins are getting HUGE! They are very focused at the window, too cute! Good luck to them both in the “Boxer Ring”!
Can’t wait to see what this sneaky peek turns inot tomorrow. It can only be fabulous if pink and pearls are involved! 😉
What a great post today – a bright and cheery card and a photo of the twins! Love those ears! I think the other dogs might as well not even show up this weekend – I think these two will add more to their trophy case! Looking forward to tomorrow’s reveal!

I love your sneek peek. Can’t wait to see it. Your boxers are so beautiful. I am anxious to see if they win again.
The twins are too cool! The picture is great of them from behind and for anyone looking in, they must look stunning.
I can’t wait to see the card tomorrow. The flower that is showing, is that one of the stamps or is that a punch?
Thanks for another shot at blog candy ribbon! I love your boxer stories…makes your blog even more worth visiting!
The snippet is already gorgeous, I can only imagine how amazing the whole card is!
The Twins sure are growing up fast. I wish them a wonderful showing this weekend and await ‘their’ re-cap of how it went.
Love the “peek” and can’t get over the photo of the twins! I didn’t realize they were that big!!
Best of luck at the next show, Ann!
Love the pictures and stories about the “twins”. Enjoy receiving your blog everyday and the many helpful hints. Thanks
Ann, you are truly a master with the colour spritzer! I love the pearls, as always. Good luck to the twins. What a great picture.
Looking forward to seeing your the full reveal … loves those pearls! OMGosh Ann, your babies are so darn cute and lean. Good luck to Muffy and Brody this weekend … bring home the blue! I’m glad to know that I’m not the only dog owner who lets their fur babies all over the furniture.
Those are big babies! They remind me of my cats bird watching.
Can’t wait to see the full card. The peek is very pretty! Love the picture of your boxer “babies”! It’s a great picure and should be submitted in a photo contest. Good luck to you and the “babies” this weekend!

I love the pearls! Your twins are so cute! We take my lab with us when we walk my daughter to school. She just loves it. She tries to play with all the kids on the way. Good luck to the twins this weekend!
Hi Ann,
Your boxers are SO FUNNY!!!
Thanks for all your inspiration!!! I check in daily to see what you and your sidekicks have been doing 🙂
Good luck to them at the show!
Hugs, Cindy
Look at that color! Very pretty, and the pearls so nice, but I wouldn’t expect anything else. Love the pic of the twins, my girl Schyler sits on the back of the couch like that, but she is looking for squirrels!
Sorry posted first under my DD’s Mackenzie’s google account, took it off and resubmitted it.

Hi Ann,
what a funny picture from your boxer twins.:-))
hugs and smiles Conny
I love both parts of your posts today–puppies and sneak peak. What cute dogs–and can’t wait to see the rest of that card–you use bling better than anyone!!
Jeanie
Thanks for the Sneak Peek…can’t wait to see the rest! The Boxers are beautiful! They will tie for 1st Place! & Best in Show!

Awesome photo of the kiddos! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Ann, your card has me curious as I try to figure out the designer papers and the snippet of the stamp you used. I just know it will be beautiful. Please pass my “good luck” onto Muffy and Brody as they head off to the show on the weekend. Take care
Your dogs are gping to br huge! Can’t wait to see what you have done with the “girl” I had fun with her this week too.
The snippet is beautiful, love the colors and design already! That is so great they “people watch”. Most puppies are attracted to kids, it must be the matching energy, lol. But these two are adorable.
OMGosh….the twins are adorable!!! I can see by your reveal that you used the Easter Blossoms stamp set, and put a “real” bouquet in her hands instead of the basket…I can’t wait to see the full reveal!! And I can’t wait for a video tutorial on the Spritzer tool!! I have one, but don’t know how to use it as good as you, so I need help!!
I love the photo of the babies! They look so regal and I can’t wait to hear about their show experience this weekend.
Whew that Muffy is ripped! Love how they are silhouetted against the window!
Ann, Can’t wait to see the whole card tomorrow. These peeks kill me some weeks! LOL I can already tell that I’m going to love it. It’s funny that you featured a photo of the twins today, as last night I was checking e-mails and doing my computer thing when my hubby came in and said, “How are the twins, Brody and Muffy doing? have you heard?” I can’t wait to show him the picture today and give him the update. Your boxer lover friend…..Tana 🙂

The sneak peak is another beauty! Can’t wait to see the whole card tomorrow! I always enjoy hearing about the twins – the picture is so cute – good luck to them this weekend – they will ROCK!
Happy stamping!

Looks like another beautiful card! Why do you have to tease us with just a peak?! And Brody and Muffy are just beautiful!
Love hearing (and seeing) stories of your boxer twins! You are such an inspiration — I cannot believe you have been doing this for such a short time! Thanks for sharing your talents! Becky
I don’t remember seeing you use those bright colors before! I can’t wait to see the entire card. I would love to know how many packs of pearls you go through in a week! LOL
Love the picture of the twins. I thought only cats and my grandma were that nosy! 🙂
The twins look so cute!! Best of luck to them this weekend!
Your sneak peek looks so tantalizing – I think I recognize the stamp you used so I look forward to seeing the big reveal tomorrow! For sure, I know I love the colors already. 🙂
Leslie said … Awesome blog candy – especially for doing something so easy to do! I leave comments on your awesome cards anyway, so blog candy is the proverbial icing on the cake. And the twins? Simply divine! Oh – and the card will be divine too based on the sneak peek. I can hardly wait to see the show stopper you have created.
Ann that card sneak peek has me druellinggggg. The colors are so pretty and love the DSP… but you know what I REALLY like, right?
Yeah baby… it’s those pretty pearls!!!
The “Puppies” look ready to go to show and I’m sure they’ll do great. I’m finding hard to call them puppies though…they’re getting so big so fast!
Thanks for a chance at some candy too! You are so generous! Hugs.
What a great shot of the twins, Ann. Soooo cute how they love to people watch. Hey, we have something in common – I do, too!
Oh my, I cannot wait to see the reveal, this looks like it’s going to be another stunning card! Love the colors already and all the pearls! I just love that pic of the twins, my dogs do the same thing, they get in my front window and watch everything going on outside! Good luck to them this weekend, I know they will be show stoppers!
Ah, pretty in pearls and pink!
What a darling picture of the twins! Good luck to those babies this weekend! 😀
That is a great photograph! How handsome they both are. Hope they do well in the ring this weekend. Love the sneak peek! Can’t wait for the full reveal.
Oh, the ears are perfection! We have a new little Jack Russell and would love to see the little fella in the ring with on of our twin sons. Best of luck in the ring this weekend. As always, thank you for sharing your paper ‘art’ and goodies with us.
Stay well,
AnnMarie
Can’t wait to see the whole creation! I’m sure it is awesome as always! Love the picture of the Twins!
Hi Ann…your card has a lot of your favorites on it..pearls!
Love the pictures of the puppies (ha ha) They are too big to be puppies! Good luck Muffy and Brody. Be good and you show them at the ring who is the new King and Queen!
The colours on the Peek are looking lovely!
Boxer babies are looking great too, and those muscles are pretty lovely aren’t they, just like the puppies.
Hope everything is well with you and yours.
Much love,
Jo xx
I enjoy your blog very much. Thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques.

Good morning, Ann! Hummm, I am looking forward to the reveal; you have me stumped! The DSP panel looks like a perfect quilting pattern. The Twins look like Egyptian Spinx’s at attention. Bet they love watching the school kiddies on their way. Have a great day, Ann.
I so enjoy your blog and appreciate that you share your talents with us. And what a treat today to se those super cute “puppies”. It is as if they posed for the picture. Thanks again and blessings, Diane
