SYMPATHY~ LOSS OF OUR KITTY

Hello All! It's a very crisp and cold morning today.....brr! I recently received this card from my cousin in the mail. Our family recently experienced a loss, our fun loving cat Gremlin, and as all of us pet lovers know that even our animals are considered to be part of the family!

I know Sympathy cards are not always easy to create. I think she did a great job, thanks Niki for the card and the warm words that followed inside. If you would like to see more of Niki's creations you can visit her blog by clicking here.

This card was created using the MDS {My Digital Studio}. You may not be able to tell that this is a Hybrid card. Hybrid cards are part MDS and part 3-D embellishments. Thanks for stopping by.

** You will be loved and missed GREMLIN.

PAJAMA~RAMA GIFTS

Last night was our Pajama-Rama that my cousin & I put together. We had a late night and a lot of fun all of us girls, laughing, chatting, munching and of course shopping the SU! Catalog. I didn't get as much done as I had hoped for being that I was distracted by all the fun and company. So thank you to the ladies that came last night from a stay at home mom that was long overdue for some much needed girl time. I hope you had as much fun as I did!

In today's post you will see some "thank you" gifts we made for the ladies that attended last night. The tablet shown above was a 8 1/2 x 11 cut in half. This paper can be purchased at any office store in various sizes, they will also cut it in half for you, you just have to ask them to do it. Using Sticky Strip I covered the existing spine and added some DSP {tip: before cutting into a brand new sheet of paper look at your scrap size pieces to use.} To finish them off I added a little shopping bag from the Things I Love stamp set, I punched the image with a 1 1/4 circle punch and layered it using the 1 3/8 circle punch and Scallop Circle Punch. Our ladies really loved them so what do you think? Drop me a line and let me know!
