How to Create a Snow Scene: The Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Emma

[@reneecassidy7279]

That card is adorable, Kelly! Love what you did with the dog sliding down the hill!

[@dmurfval702]

Super cute card! Poor Emma! One day I put 3 eggs and two sticks of butter in a bowl to come to room temperature. Pushed the bowl to back of counter, went to the grocery store. Came home to a few eggs shells and butter wrappers on the floor. The yellow Lab managed to get the bowl down and ate the eggs and butter! She was fine. This dog was also a poo eater. She lived to be fifteen! Love your stories. And congrats on you engagement and up coming marriage.

[@roxannetucker5813]

This card is so darling! I especially love the dog sliding down the hill and how you mad it look so realist with the snow blowing up on him!

[@occonnaking9454]

Your technique with the snow flying up around the dog is terrific. You are so talented, thanks for the lesson.

[@bettyfaulconer5535]

We have a 128 lb. Lab that is a big bully, breaking him of that has been awful. We sent him to a boarding/training kennel. They did a wonderful job. He even learned some manners along the way best thing we ever did. Now our little Cockapoo isn't scared of him nor runs when he sees the lab come in. You will be happy you did this! To the card: I wish I had the vision of making scene cards. I have the imagination but can't make it work on paper. This card is the cutest. That dog sliding down the hill is precious! Thanks for sharing and good luck with Emma!

[@KarenAicken]

My first comment here, but I have been enjoying your cards, video's and story time for months. I have a Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Jasper (Sheltie). He does the same thing to our rescue dog. Thankfully he doesn't eat his own - but we can't even take him to a dog park anymore. Gag. Our solution (such as it is) was to build a dog run. Essentially a fenced off area of the yard easily accessible for ME and the dogs that we can get to even in the snow. One of us actually goes out with the dogs, poop bag in hand, and pick up immediately, Then the dogs are free to do as they please in the rest of the yard. It's not a 'dog run' but more of a fenced off toilet for the dogs, ha ha. Small round gravel so it doesn't cut their feet with flat round stepping stones for the humans (not necessary but nice). Not all that convenient but works for us and the rest of the yard is free of 'landmines' this way. We got used to it pretty quickly. Hope Emma's training goes well!

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Kelly, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your story time. You can tell a story better than anyone I know. The card is FANTASTIC. TFS the video and the story. Take care. ~Barbara

[@dgmlmax]

This scene card is adorable.

[@theresehudran7635]

The card is toooo cute..vibrant colors...and just all out outstanding. Try having a sit down talk with Emma and let her know that she had better get an A in the class or else its the pound! I did this with my dog Sandy and I think she understood it cuz I had her for 15 years and she turned out to be my best and only friend I ever had.

[@kareneaton433]

Love this card and all the great tips on snow scenes. Our lab mix rescue just turned a year old, he eats everything, boxes of tissues, game controllers, etc. Glad you have a trainer you can trust, our Guan is on his second round of basic obedience classes and he is doing better so there is hope for your Emma. Love story time

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Kelly, you need to write a book, the description of this video would be a great title! The card is totally adorable!!! Sorry about the issues with Emma! So grateful you shared this video, always great to know we're not alone in our daily lives, everyone has stories they could tell! I hope Peanut is all better now!!! Sending blessings & hugs!!!

[@nicoleengland9223]

Eating feces is known as coprophagia. Hysterical!! Gorgeous card too, though the Emma story could not be beaten

[@mariehoney31]

Oh my goodness, Kelly. What a story!! I hope things get sorted out with Miss Emma! I have this stamp set, but haven't used it yet. The snowman is just too darn cute! Love your card!! ❤

[@rebeccanieves-pagan86]

What a beautiful scene! Best of luck with Emma! Sometimes, dogs eat other dogs' or animal poop bc they're lacking something nutritionally so they're trying to fill that void. It is gross. My pup did that too and we had to do an entire dietary change on her. I mean that's not always the case, but it's something to consider. I really hope the training helps! I know you'll keep us posted.

[@mariespalding2327]

Rebecca Nieves-Pagan I have heard that as well! Let’s hope Kelly can have success and the poop situation will be fixed!

[@wendyodell356]

Yep, we had the same issue and just had to switch his food. It was something his was missing in his diet. Not long after that we found out that he was diabetic.

[@kaceeboxers3580]

Great card - love the snow technique. I have 3 Boxers, German, and they have more drive than North American bred Boxers. My choice though, it was what I wanted. My oldest was a hard nose! I sent her to boot camp for a month. Ugh, it was difficult, as the training was intense. My Bella was so happy to get home and she heeled beautifully, didn’t tug at the leash, sat at the door and let us enter/exit - our wild child learned some manners. Costly? Yes! Her daughter was much easier to train, plus, I had learned more myself, at this point. Both competed in protection sports, AKC obedience, agility, rally, barn hunt and our next is dock diving. I think the poop eating ‘could be’ attributed to a dietary deficiency. There is info on the web. All the best to Emma!

[@scrapgirl6]

Love this card, so adorable

[@kimbrewer223]

Love, love the card! Can I say I had tears running down my face listening to your dog poo story! So funny……dogs, what can you say?

[@samanthamann1523]

This is such a CUTE card!! I looooooove the snow effect!! Major wow!!!! And Emma - nooooooooo!!!! Ack!!!! Soooooo sorry you have to deal with that!!! Fingers crossed for the dog trainers to work their magic!!

[@junebovenzi]

You had me howling with this story! I have three cats in addition to my two dogs. Occasionally, we dog sit my 3 grand dogs so we frequently have quite a menagerie. One thing I have to be careful is to keep the litter boxes scooped because my dogs and grand dogs think the litter boxes are a place to get ‘tasty treats’. Very disgusting!

[@pathamm5834]

Emma is a high maintenance dog , she’s jealous of Molly because she gets positive interaction for everything . Emma is going to be a challenge because she wants to be dominant. Dogs are such a hoot , people don’t realize they can be so vindictive and jealous but they are furry little kids deep down. Love your coloring on this card

[@jenedge5949]

Very nicely done. Love the snow kicking up and the warm sky and the foot prints!

[@ConnieInman1954]

Sure do hope you can get some results with Emma. Such a cute card as always.

[@ryantaylor7283]

Love the card Kelly! Good luck with Emma!

[@mgregory5320]

Darling winter scene!

[@karenschneider8456]

Adorable card!!

[@teriterrific6877]

I L-O-V-E your videos!!! With each one, I learn something new or am reminded of something I've forgotten or haven't used in a while. And the stories you tell, the way you tell them, makes me feel like we are truly friends/neighbors just talking around the table while enjoying a cup of coffee. Thank you for always sharing parts of your life with us :-]

[@78Kimberli]

I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing with you. I was crying from laughing so hard at your soft serve ice cream and waffle cone analogy. Fingers crossed, this boarding and training works. Amazing card!

[@lisamoline7474]

Good grief Kelly! My stomach hurts from laughing!! I hope the training works for Molly and that does sound like your best bet! I really love your card - that puppy sliding down the hill us just the cutest thing ever!! Thanks so much for sharing with us, I love hearing your stories while watching you color!

[@suelanham5125]

You are too much, don’t know which I look forward to most, the card magic or the stories! My dog got on top of my craft table and ate dark chocolate M &Ms. That was a trip to the vets! And our cat once ate the center out of a pumpkin pie we were serving for Thanksgiving! Made it look like a donut! Good luck with Emma!

[@DonnaJo3452]

This is so cute, lots of texture and depth! I don't remember the dog story, obviously missed some of your videos! So I'll be binge watching!

[@beckiewalden6342]

Love the card! Good luck with Emma!

[@aledinigro9429]

Beautiful card!! Great snow technique and easy to re-create. Thanks for teaching it!!! And thanks for the story, I was laughing so hard, my hubby probably thought I was crazy laughing by myself!!! good luck with Emma hope they can help her and you (and family).

[@sandyweirauch8310]

Adorable card! Good luck with Emma! ❤️

[@karenink]

I always love your stories. And as a fellow dog owner, I was laughing so hard. I had a dog who did this. Ask your veterinarian about it. There is a product - I think it’s called Forbid - which will hopefully make Emma stop. It’s a supplement that goes on the food. You will have to put it on Molly’s food. My vet said it makes the poop tastes bad. I laughed and said like poop normally tastes good!

[@JerriJonesabushelandahug]

Love the adorable card.

[@Colorfullife2046]

Your card is so adorable this is my favorite stamp set. About the dog eating poo just think less to have to pick up in the yard lol I love ur stories doent matter what its about thank you for just being you

[@carmencasillas3793]

I love your card, omg! love the coloring and the stamp set.

[@dotydiva]

Oh I love your card. Awesome details and colors.

[@TheSunshineCrafterKellyFusco]

Love this Kelly. Great snow effect. As far as Molly...im a HUGE animal lover but even id get resentful at some point. Your far more patient than i. Best of luck with training her...keep us posted🙏🌞

[@suzanneflottmeier9128]

This is one of my favorite cards you’ve done. That puppy on the hills is the cutest use of him I’ve seen! So creative ! Thank you for all your videos and story times, I enjoy it all very much.

[@cheri6905]

DARLING card, Kelly! Love how you did the snow flying around the dog! Good luck on the training for Emma - you are so patient for not giving up on her. Molly-dog must just roll her eyes when Emma misbehaves - ha!

[@carrie5260]

Laughing my a$$ off ! Oh, and beautiful card ! I love the way you ink blended the snow ! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

[@CiaraTDesigns]

Great card Kelly!! I love the colours. I hope Emma’s training goes well

[@lesleybroadley7631]

Gorgeous card xxx as to the weather here in Jerramungup Western Australia its 42.5*C and it’s awful xx stay warm x

[@theresafreer2270]

I'm new to your channel and I have to say....your personality really makes the learning process easy to take in. Thank you for the teaching!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you so much!

[@sherrywoods4630]

I like the snowy scene with the bright colors! I would use blues and greys, but this is so pretty and it still looks like snow. Oh, dear, Emma....I hope the trainer can help. The only thought I would have is to let Emma out first, then let Molly out. I have no ideas for all the other things. Good luck!

[@sheilagraber5577]

That’s adorable

[@Bedalouwho]

I just love to watch you color. You have such talent. Good luck with training Emma. I'll bet she comes through training fine.

[@lindaplested3385]

Gorgeous card, I just Love your stories, Thank you for sharing, good luck with Emma.

[@loribarker683]

Great card, love the dog sliding down the hill & the feeling of movement you gave it-it is so cool. As for Emma, omg, good luck with that, that is why I have cats, lmao. I hope everything works out for all of you involved in the poop mystery💩💩💩🐕🐕🐕

[@melindagibson8606]

Wow!!! The snow was amazing.. so cute!!! TfS!

[@heatherharrison4855]

Love the card Kelly. You always do great scene cards. I feel for you with Emma. Hope the training goes well. I know you will let us know.

[@TWEEK_TWWEAK]

Ohhhh poor Emma. We had a dog that. Liked cat poop was always catching her in the cat box. Or if it was outside she would roll in it. We asked the vet about it and he said that cat poop is like a treat to dogs. We finally got her to stop. Good luck with the training. Love the story. Really needed the laugh 😂

[@lflines]

Cute scene, love the sliding puppy. I can relate to the untrainable dog story, so frustrating! It sounds like you all love Emma a lot and I hope boarding school helps her become a better family member.

[@TatianaPCarvalho]

Awesome card! Story time left me in stitches. 🤣😂

[@metadarmawan1767]

super cute card...I love it

[@KoiPonggo]

I can’t stop laughing.... love your story time 😂💜💜 As always love your card!🥰😍💜

[@glennistrotman8421]

Very nice card, Good luck with Emma, hope boot camp helps

[@carolpearce7755]

OHHHHHH --- I'm cracking up so hard!!! Your story was hilarious! I can envision all this in my mind. You should really write a book with all your great stories. Oh yeah - great card too. LOL LOL Love me some Emma. Lol

[@beaudoin1987]

Adorable!

[@katecurrie7499]

Totally adorable Kelly, fabulous little scene and awesome colouring. I'm sure Emma's behaviour will be sorted at the boot camp, good luck with it all, xx

[@ginapeyton567]

It’s amazing to me to watch you bring white card stock “to life!” Great video! Hope Peanut is feeling better and you are able to get Molly on the right track........ no more “poo snacker” lol Gina P

[@kimluptovic2280]

Super cute card. Sounds like a good idea to get professional help, Emma obviously needs more than the average dog, don’t blame yourself, like people, we’re all different, some just needs more help than others.

[@tootalltree2002]

OMGOODNESS ROTFL. Like she is the waffle cone and Molly is soft serve ice cream. Still laughing! She is missing something in her diet. I love this card with the dog in it!

[@jewelzbtully4934]

LMAO!! 🤣🤣 If I didn't know better I would think you were talking about my rescue, Sugar, when you discuss Emma! (except mine doesn't eat poop) My hubs & I have been at our wits end several times. I'm a stay at home dog mom of 2 & my other child, Diesel (7yrs. old) is perfect. ❤ Peeing on our real hardwood floors has probably been our toughest challenge. All the treats in the world (& she too is a food fanatic too!) I absolutely love the colors & texture of the card! The dog sliding down would be my Sugar! Lol I wish someone would design a stamp set for Pitbull's w/ some* of the proceeds could going to a pitty rescue charity. It would be wonderful to raise awareness & educate those who believe that they are ALL dangerous! In reality they are big lovers with strong will to get, or do, what they want! 🤪😂❤

[@kimgordoncrafts]

The weather in Oklahoma has been banana pants this past week and a half so I agree about Mother Nature. We had a few days a week ago that were over 70 degrees then we got 6 inches of snow. Adorable card 😊

[@henriette9969]

Ohh Kelly I wish you all the luck of the world and hope the trainers can help Molly. Although the story was hilarious, sorry but it is. Your card is beautiful and you had some great tips, thanks for sharing. Wishing you a great day.

[@SunnysEyes]

Good luck! Hope the training goes well!

[@Cynphoenix56]

Kelly, I love your stories! This one was hilarious! btw, love your coloring! Great card. tfs

[@craftsandcards]

Love this card Kelly ! You had me laughing out loud about the soft serve ice cream...lol...my neighbors dog eats his own "soft serve" !! Google has a lot to say on the problem...you might find some helpful hints...good luck friend !!

[@sherrifredrickson2509]

Omgoodness!!! Good luck with that Emma girl!! Plus, I love the book about Alexander and his no good very bad day! 😜

[@lorijohnson5061]

😂 I have 2 dogs and they are always doing something! I am always thinking… have you lost your mind?!!!! Love your card

[@kristinevencel2898]

LMAO!!!!!!!!! OMG! You are such a great story teller. And you also make beautiful cards. This design is soooo cute! Best of luck with your special needs puppy. 😟😟. I have a yorkie who is 15 and who could have been a challenge. Luckily I was retired when I got him. In order to keep him out of trouble, we would walk 2-4 miles every day in order to tire him out enough to keep him calm. He loved to clean up after rabbits but did grow out of it after awhile. Now he’s a really old man and he can’t keep up with me. Lol. I think that training should help immensely. Hang in there. 👍🏻👍🏻. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@RiseandProcraftinate]

I love the snow technique around the dog. As far as Emma, I wish you the best of luck with all of it. We had a dog that ate her own poop in her later years and were never able to break her of it. We tried all the vets suggestions and everything off Google. There are special treats you can buy, you can add pumpkin to their food (in your case, the other dogs food), etc. We tried it all and nothing worked for us. It's a form of Pica and it's not an easy thing to break once they start it, so I hope for your sake, these people can help you, because yeah.... It's horrifyingly gross.

[@danielleporter1829]

Cute card Kelly, your Emna story😂😂🤣. Things can only go up, you all will get through 😁🌻🌺💮🐕🐅

[@pamlitzinger1555]

Great card! The snow layers and sunset are very cool looking😉 poo snacking lol 😂 its only reconstituted dog food hahaha omg ! Good luck!

[@christyscherbarth1428]

Love the card. I understand how you feel watching your puppy do something absolutely gross. lol. It does take consistency to train on puppy.

[@countrymouse47]

😱😂🤣😂🤣😂 Horrifying, hysterical, funny and sad....best of luck with the training program. I admire that you are sticking with her in spite of all the challenges - not everyone would be willing after the instances you’ve described. The card is absolutely darling! I love what you did with the snow effects! So clever!! Just keep thinking, “This, too, shall pass!”

[@melodieisreal5933]

This is such a fun scene, I loved all of the details that you added! I will cross my fingers for Emma's training!!

[@veransia]

Love this card! Great idea with the acrylic paint. I feel your pain on the dog training. Good luck! I'm curious if they can break the poo snacking... or if it's more nutritional vs. behavioral. I've heard that if you supplement with a vitamin, that can help. Unless she just likes eating it, lol. Let us know how it goes! Waffle cone & soft serve... I died! I once had a dog get up on the table to eat a partial stick of butter, too. That same dog got up and tried to eat my mother-in-law's salad while she was out at the grill (she was dog-sitting for us)... salad ALL over the place. Too funny. Wish me luck... I have a new puppy coming home on Saturday. 😁

[@sharw2789]

Honestly I grew up with dogs too, we had so many. Everything you are describing is exactly why I now have cats. I can’t stand the poo thing, always having to walk them even in the middle of a Midwest blizzard. And the puppy phase is just a PITA. Good on you with the doggy boot camp. It will be a major difference to have someone working her 24/7.

[@candymills9446]

Wonderful card! Good luck with the puppy training :o)

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

Super adorable card! We had a shihtsu that ate his own poop😳 His vet told me to put hot sauce ( like Franks Red Hot) and he would stop. Nope. He ate it. So we just had to follow him out in the yard and pick it up as soon as he pooped. He eventually stopped eating it after his first birthday.I hope the training works for Emma👍🏼 We still have to create our Dahlya when we go out because she is spiteful and has chewed a love seat. 😳

[@louisescherbain312]

So so cute

[@cptdebbie]

I love it. ❤

[@cljordison]

I love your card! It's so cute! I never thought to use yellows and purples in a snowy scene! I love the look! Good luck with Emma's training. I hope they find the right plan for her. Is Peanut feeling better now that he's on meds? Good luck and God bless. 💕

[@stefperry4142]

Kelly you have been my inspiration for a long time and the scene you've created (with a nod to Sandy), with some of my fav color combos, is fabulous! Wow, do I feel for you with all of Emma's issues. Thank goodness you and Eric are kind, patient, somewhat tolerant people, she would be a test for even the most animal loving folks (I have friends that have adopted what turned out to be extremely difficult rescue dogs. It's really tough). I think your money will be well spent with these new trainers who will determine what are Emma's issues, then hopefully help you guys train her in a manner that she will accept. My heart is with you! XXX ❤❤❤❤❤

[@reneeepting3508]

I have Emma's brother from another mother...I feel your pain. Love the card!

[@TheresaPetermann]

Really like how you got the snow effects. You coloring is always fun to see. My sister had a dog who was a poo eater and we could never stop him either. How your training goes well for Emma. thanks as always for sharing.

[@anitatrippi7072]

I do so enjoy your cards, tutorials and stories! Good luck with Emma😜

[@traceybartlam5940]

We had a dog who liked a certain type of snack! We were told to try adding some carrot or corgette (zucchini?) to their food! Worth a try maybe. Good luck.

[@cherij9008]

BAHAHAHA! I constantly have to redirect Jasper the wonder dog from Charlie Cats litter box!!!

[@lindailey2225]

I love your coloring and I think you are one of the best. They just jump off the page. Loved your snow technique around the dog making the snow fly. Sorry about your dog problems. Not a lover of dogs since I was bit on the face as a child. I can’t stand to have dogs jump up on me. Hopefully some of your dog problems can be resolved.

[@karatekate89]

We had 2 horses and a dog that loved to eat their poo! I think it was probably because it was sweet tasting from the grain that we fed the horses. That was about the only weird thing she did. I hope the trainer finds a way to help with the behavioral issues. Good Luck! I also love this card, it is simply adorable!

[@743linda]

Great card! Good luck with Emma! Paramount Dog Training in Medina is amazing too. They have a Facebook page. Hope it all works out well!!!

[@tootalltree2002]

I wish you LOTS of luck. WOW we , never, had a dog that would do this to get attention! Hugs and best wishes! Again, love the card!

[@lindadoyel3811]

I totally understand. I have a 4 year old and a 12 year old Golden Retriever. My 4 year old pup eats poop too. Now you and I think this is disgusting but this is quite common with dogs. I have tried everything and I can't get her to stop. I am currently on poop patrol. Every time they go out, I'm watching and following them around with the pooper scooper. It's a full time job! She was also a difficult puppy. She would pee on our coach (old coach, we got rid of it). She has gotten better and is now a very good listener. She just won't stop eating poop!

[@charlottephillips4272]

I love the card. I subscribed and think I will learn a lot from you.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Welcome to the crazy :)

[@SuzPicard]

Love that you give us useful advice on coloring. I have the Prismacolor pencils so I am glued to the screen, volume up. I do have a cheap brand of markers (you work with you got) and even though mine color markers don’t come out as beautiful as yours I think there are techniques you teach make a little bit better. So thank you for your time and sharing your expertise. P.S. Love story time too!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

So glad you're learning things. Thank you!
