Love Ewe CAS

Well I hope that you had a great Valentines. I just had work and the love of my two Siamese cats....I did get a text from my daughter. I actually got my cats a haircut the day before so they are cuddly not sure if it's because they are cold or just didn't like leaving home, lol.
This week there is this adorable sheep, Love Ewe at Catch the Bug. I colored mine as a "black" sheep which I thought was fitting since I think that they are just so cute. And they need love too!

Valentine Greetings Vintage card

I have an image from a freebie site from many years ago and I didn't save who the maker was. I distressed the edges as well as distressed the edges of my paper.  This reminds me of my Grandmother who I miss greatly. She always gave such vintage looking cards and had doilies at her home.

Sending Pups & Kisses

I have a Grandpup, Gus and he is a Teddybear breed and is very playful.  My daughter has him sooooo spoiled. He usually goes with her to school on Fridays and he is a big part of her 4th grade class. This is a card that I made for my daughter using a stamp from My Favorite Things, Pups and Kisses. I heat embossed the sentiment in white.
