Sheep Trio Happy Birthday

Today at Catch the Bug starts a new Stella Says Sketch Challenge. For this sample I used Birthday Ewe Trio and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I added Glossy Accents to the balloons.
I know that many of you have pets and know how important critters are in our lives. I have the Siamese cats which are wonderful to have since my husband passed away and my kids are grown.  On Friday my cat, Jasmine, who we usually call Jazzy was sedate and hadn't eaten for the past 3 days so I took her to my vet. She found that she was in liver failure, but unlike humans it can be reversed depending on the cause. So being that I live in a town where they have a school of Veterinary Medicine it helps that they have a clinic. So I was able to take her in and get an ultrasound.  They couldn't find anything wrong with her liver, but thought that she had an infected gallbladder.  So I decided to try a hospital stay at the UW- Vet Hospital for the weekend to give her IV fluids and antibiotics.  Then I will have to see how she responds. Today I was told that her labs were better, but still severely elevated, but she is eating. So prayers and positive thoughts for my little girl would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Birthday Wishes on Day 6 of the Bash

We are getting to the end of the Catch the Bug Down on the Farm 10th Annual Birthday Bash. Today is a Color Challenge and for my card I used Ewe Move Me and a sentiment which is retired from Verve. We are going to have it with wind chills today around -10. I just took my garbage out and the wind is a blowing - nasty. So I wanted to keep things sunny and bright so I added a huge button to my Spellbinder die cut to look like a sun. Welcome to my new members Corry and Connie.

Love Ewe

Well this year when I Christmas shopping the last week before Christmas they already had Valentines items in the store and I was surprised. Not that I should be because soon it will be after St. Patrick's Day they will be putting Valentine's stuff out again, lol. And, I'm already working on my Valentine's cards since I send them to my family....usually because I am horrible about getting my Christmas cards mailed out.
For this card, I used the new Stella Says Sketch that starts today at Catch the Bug. My image is Love Ewe.  For my background, I dry embossed it with little hearts from Cuttlebug and then sprayed it with 3 different colors of Glimmer Mist colors so it has a sparkle. On the sides I added some sparkly Washi tape that matched perfectly. Then I fussy cut out the image and had the heart be red instead of pink so it would stand out. If you played the Holiday Critter Chaos please check the site to see if you won some great prizes!
And the 10th Annual Birthday Bash will begin January 11th so a great way to add to your birthday stash and another chance to win some awesome prizes!
