Friends are Flowers...

Just a simple little card I made as a thank you. This is an old sentiment from Hero Arts circa 1995 (yikes!), but I've always really liked it.
Ink is Jumbo Java chalk by Tsukineko, PP is Karen Foster, cardsotck is SU!, ribbon by May Arts and an EK success punch.
Thanks for peeking!

Tucker

These are the hardest cards for me to make. Sympathy. Especially sympathy for a pet. This card honors Tucker, a beloved dog of some friends of mine.

Poor Rosie!

Is this the saddest, pitiful-est face you've ever seen?

A week after surgery, Rosie is doing well. The incisions are healing nicely, but they are a bit itchy. So, as much as she would like to be free of them, she must continue to wear the collar and an old t-shirt of mine. We did try little baby socks on her back feet, but she was able to pull them off.

She's not the happiest of campers....she loves to play and chew with her toys but the collar prevents her from doing that. She can pick them up and carry them around, but it's just not the same...

And doorways have been a bit of a problem. She struggles with how much room she has to give herself to go through one without crashing into it.

There is a bright side....Skyler is afraid of the collar and keeps her distance from Rosie...which is just fine by Rosie!The good news is that the 3 lumps that were removed, 2 fibroids and 1 cyst were all benign. The stitches and staples come out next week.

Thanks for peeking!

You are the best...

A quick thank you to my good friend, Colleen, for my visit with her in Florida a while back. The card shape is made with the SU! Sizzix Top Note die...I diecut a folded card with the folded edge placed ever so slightly below the top edge of the die, then cut a single die cut and attached it to the front of the folded die cut so that I wouldn't end up with any 'flat' edges on the top of my card (clear as mud????). Stamps are from a clear set by Hero Arts, and SU!'s new Kiwi Kiss ink and Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla ribbon. A really quick and fun card to make.
And, thanks again, Colleen! I had a blast!

Card for Ian

Ian is an adorable little fella who is the son of some friends of ours. When they visited a while back, a few of his toys were left behind under our couch and I kept forgeting to give them to him when we saw them. So, I thought, "what little person wouldn't love to get mail addressed just to them?" So, I made this card to go with the package and sent it off. The dinosaur is a Sizzix die cut, then run through a Cuttlebug folder, and the sentiment is by Inkadinkadoo. And that's a teeny, tiny Hero Arts button used as an eye.

I hope Ian likes it.

Word Inchie INKling Challenge

Well, I'm supposed to be working on thank you cards and wedding invitation samples, BUT, while blog surfing this morning, I ran across the 'Word Inchie INKling Challenge' over on one of Ellen Hutson's blogs here. So, I rummaged through my stuff and came up with this card. Just had to put ink to the Boxwood stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms. Such a gorgeous stamp! Used the 'French Script' from Stampin' Up! for the background and words from Making Memories. The sentiment is from Rubber Stampede. I hope y'all like it!

CHF Birthday

Just browsing my picture files and came across this card I made a while ago. The stamp is a backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms that I just love....a very simple way to make a really quick card. A little ribbon, a simple sentiment and a little glitter...fun!
