HB to the coolest of the cool

I made this card as a monochrome card with the SOTM From the Heart.  We had a start of a beautiful day today and then this afternoon it turned to rain and then light snow and the temp went from in the 50's to 38.  That's WI for you, but to have a temp of in the 50's is amazing.  The sentiment for this card is from TLC.

Fur-ever grateful for you

My Aunt has her Border Collies in competition and she asked to have a card made to give to the judges of the event.  This is what I came up with for her.  I was fortunate to have the talented Miss Rach design the Border Collie, and she draws such incredible animals.  Check out her site because today she even has a FREEBIE. The sentiment is from TLC.

Have a Warm Birthday

I have been working lots of hours and haven't had a chance to craft.  So the other night, I just had to make a quick card to try to relax.  So I used the Mojo Sketch and stamped a sentiment for a birthday card since I need several for this month yet.  This is what I was able to save my sanity with this week.
