Pets make life sweeter

Well today I had to go pick up Jazzy who was cremated from the vet office.  It is so sad. I made this card for my vet and her staff. It is using a stamp set from My Favorite Things BB New Best Friend. And I thought it was purrfect for my Siamese.

Today at Catch the Bug there is a new Stella Says Sketch Challenge. And for this I used Happy Easter to ewe and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I had to use some googly eyes on this silly sheep and make him a "black" sheep. I always tell it as it is so that's why I love the black sheep.

Swing on over sometime

Today at Catch the Bug it's Friday Freebie and we have this Swinging Monkey.  For my card I made a gate fold card and have a sentiment from TLC,Create.  I added lots of die cuts and flowers too.  This kept it green except for my monkey.  I feel that this has been such a crazy week that the world has become such a juggle out there. I have been a nurse for 30 years when there was the scare of HIV/AIDS. And now people are so afraid of the Coronovirus that stores are out of toilet paper and tylenol/ibuprofen. REALLY? I don't know that some people ever cared that much about having a "clean crack" before and now they have a butt load of paper.  So they are going to be admitted to the hospital for bleeding hemorrhoids instead, lol. And are they thinking that they bought enough beer and wine to be home for two weeks? And the <other> medically necessary items that they need, sure, I don't think that weed/pot dealers make home deliveries. I know that I am joking about this but my job involves doing inpatient authorization for hospital stays and I see too many people being admitted for alcohol withdrawl and drug overdoses, which is no laughing matter!!! I just don't want us to have riots over stupid things such as Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer.

Stay safe everyone!

Cake in Tiers and Joy to the World Snowman

Tuesday Morning Sketches has a long sketch for challenge 545.  I made two different samples. The first is a wedding card with a stamp from Tiddly Inks which is now only on FaceBook and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  It's an image that I had colored quite sometime ago and was waiting to be put together. I added some Stickles to add some sparkle.
The second card is using a die from Spellbinder that I put together to make the snowman and a separate one for the background. I added a ribbon and some poinsettias.

Freya Fairy with Hare

I am still working with the Lavinia stamps and trying to figure out how to get the effects that I want. I made a background of distress oxide inks. Then I stamped the images this time instead of embossing them. I am not as happy with the results. I added Spectrum Noir to the wings and stars to give a glimmer and sparkle.
