Best Friends

 

My Paper crafting journey started almost 18 years ago with the birth of this sweet girl....our first granddaughter Jessica. Most of my time is spent card making these days but with Jessica's 18th birthday coming up next month I have made it my mission to finish her scrapbook so I can give it to her as part of her birthday gift. These pages make me smile! "Scout" has been Jess' best friend for 12 years & they have had many adventures together. He is the most docile, lovable dog who has put up with being dressed up in everything from Christmas onsies to sweatshirts & glasses. His favourite pastime is swimming in the pool on hot summer days. The sentiment on the first page is perfect for the picture! It's hard to tell from the pictures but the punched hearts are chocolate brown & coated with glossy accents. The DP is Recollections & the CS is Prism. I've had the little paw print buttons for years....finally had a chance to use them.

1. Simon Says Ch:.....4 legged friends

2. Unstampables Ch.#111.....Adventure.....use 3 of something ( pictures, hearts )

Gin & Bear It!

 

I have been MIA for some time now....2 members of my family have some serious health issues & I just haven't even thought of blogging for the last few months. I have missed this crafty outlet though as it's a great stress relief! 

So, this card is for my son in law's birthday. His new favourite drink is gin & tonic so this cute House Mouse stamp "Citrus Bath" was perfect.  The inside says "gin & bear it" The DP is Little Yellow Bicycle & the CS is Bazzill & Prism. The image is coloured with copics.

Challenges I am entering:

1. House Mouse Ch#340.....ATG 

2. AAABirthday #25.....Happy Birthday

3. Seize the Birthday.....must be a birthday card 

4. Just Add Ink #554.....just add "G"  (gin, glass, green)
