A Special Thank You Card

A few weeks ago, I had no choice but to euthanize my 14 1/2 yr. old Pomeranian, Rusty.  Rusty was brought into our family when he was just five weeks old and I miss him terribly.  My other two Poms, Jessie & Tucker are still looking for him and cuddle each other a little closer than they used to.  We are fortunate to have a wonderful veterinary clinic who made a memorial donation to a Veterinary College Pet Trust on Rusty's behalf and I felt that this deserved a very special thank you card.  I called on Tilda with Puppy to help me out with this one and I think that between the two of us, we conveyed our heartfelt thanks very well.  I've taken many photos of my little furbabies over the years - this is the very last photo of all three together and I will cherish it forever.

Madison, Tilda and Pierced Ears!!

Ying Pang's Birthday Candy

Ying has an 'in' with Magnolia Sweden and they have provided this great prize for her birthday candy.  It is a collection of eight stamps from the new Autumn collection.  Ying will be splitting this up into four prizes and will also have a Magnolia doohickey, crystal garland and flowers to accompany the stamp.  Hop on over and check it out!!  Winners will be drawn on September 28th.

Vintage Brown & Red Tilda

It's been a few crazy weeks.  My unemployment insurance was unexpectedly cut off seven weeks early, so the search for a job has been ramped up, big time!  Keep your fingers crossed for me fellow bloggers - I've interviewed twice for a really good job and as much as I've enjoyed the time off, it is time to return to work and put my rather 'stretched-out' finances in order!! 

Time in my scraproom has been minimal, but I had time this weekend to make this easel card which I am entering in the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers
Scrapgirl Brown & Red Challenge
Just Magnolia Week 65 Vintage
Magnolia-licious Nautical Challenge

I have a few more cards to make for birthdays and babies, so I really need to get busy!  Happy scrapping everyone!!

Bathing Beauty Tilda

I have been promising myself that I won't buy anymore Maggies until I have used each one AT LEAST ONCE!!!  At Simply Magnolias this week, the challenge is to use any Tilda and the colour yellow - also happens to be my favourite colour!!  I am also entering this card into the Scrapbooking Allsorts challenge and the Simons Says Stamp 'check it out' challenge. I haven't used this little sweetie yet and she will make a great birthday card for someone special in my family.  Now I'm off to work on the other 50+ stamps still calling my name!!

Father's Day Cards for My Boys

As much as I love my Maggies, I think my boys are a little too old for these cute little dolls, so my cards today are 'Maggieless'!!  I have a wonderful son and an equally wonderful son-in-law and the vintage photo look really appealed to me and went perfectly with this great paper from BoBunny.  Included in the cards are three of my most favourite people in the whole world!!  Although the cards are identical in layout, I had to post them both in order to brag about my beautiful family.  Have a wonderful week!!

Magnolia Birthday Bash - Week 4!!

The challenge for BB#4 is to make a card from a never used Maggie (okay, I confess, I have MORE THAN ONE Maggie that has never seen ink, but I seem to be buying them faster that I can use them - insert grimace here!!) and it has to be an easel card. 

I must admit that I have never made an easel card before but I can say it won't be my last.  Made this little cutie into a Father's Day Card for my Hero - my wonderful and amazing father who has been my rock my whole life.  Love you Dad!!

Hope you like the card - I think he will.
