Dog cards

About 1 month ago our neighbor had to say goodbye to their sweet golden retriever that was 16 years old. She was a great dog but was really showing her age this last year. We'll miss Sara! I made this card for my neighbor.
I also needed to do a thank you (long over due) for our friends who watched our dog while we went to New York. Cassie thinks of the Millers as her second family! We're so happy that since watching Cassie they have gotten their own little Sophie and she is adorable!

Tissue anyone?

Okay! I just love our dog! She is hilarious! Yesterday Brady was home sick from school and I was working on the computer. I heard a faint bark and thought Cassie might need to go out so I went looking for her. I went into Brady's room and didn't see anything so I started to leave when I saw something move. Cassie? I walked over and amidst tissues everywhere was my cute little dog with a tissue box stuck on her head.
She was totally helpless and adorable. She just sat there wondering why I was laughing so hard and taking pictures! She absolutely loves shredding tissues, paper towels and paper. (That story about how the dog ate my homework really is true! Only she just shreds things to bits!)

January Club

It was so good to get back together with everyone for stamp club and it was fun to hear about everyone's Christmas! This month we focused on Valentine's Day and made a couple of cards to honor the day.
This card is so quick and easy, it makes a great Valentine to duplicate.
Supplies
Stamps: Sweetheart
Paper: Real Red, White
Ink: Real Red, Wild Wasabi
Accessories: Ribbon, Top Note die, Sucker
I just love the colors of the Love Letter dsp.

Supplies
Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers, Define Your Life
Paper: Black, Very Vanilla, Riding Hood Red, Crumb Cake, Love Letter dsp
Ink: Black StazOn, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Heart to Heart punch, sponge

For our extra 3-d project I made a treat to give with the Fancy Favor die. I love the new seam binding ribbon! Since it's so lightweight I thought we'd be fine using snail to stick it down. Unfortunately by morning mine had fallen off. Sorry! Next time we'll use Sticky Strip.
Supplies
Stamps: Love wheel
Paper: Chocolate Chip, White, Rose Red
Ink: Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Fancy Favor die, Ribbon

Preschool Ornaments

I'm back! Sorry for the long time of no posts but I've been in Utah for Christmas then trying to get back into the swing of things since being home. I have quite a few things to post but first I wanted to share this darling picture that Jan from stamp club shared with me. She works at a preschool and made these darling ornaments for her students. Gasp! Aren't they the cutest!?!
They're made with the sweet treat cups to look like snow globes! Of course we smudged their cute little faces to protect their identity, but you get the idea. Thanks so much for sharing Jan!
