Cat Drama

I made this layout a day prior to finding out my mom's orange kitten Jack had to be put to sleep for getting FIP, a rare disease most likely given to him by his stray mother. It's been a sad few days here, but I've taken tons of photos of Jack interacting with his big sis Sugar and auntie Lola through the last 5 months we had him.  Here's a layout I did of Sugar and Jack play fighting.

I miss you so much little Jack!!

Cupid's Arrow

Heres another Valentine themed LO for a challenge I did featuring my adorable cousin Caleb when he was a baby. I used Stampin' Up hear die cut page as well as glitter dot pp from Teresa Collins, Maya road arrow clip, cork arrows from Studio Calico.

I did this layout for a challenge on The Scrapping Nook's message board called 'Hearts to DIE for'. I used two different sets of heart framelits/dies, as well as a punch from SU. The papers are also from SU! last years Vday line. Other embellies include the people stick pins, wire clips and resin bird from Maya Road, glitter hearts from MS, Brads from Teresa Collins.

lighting wasn't good for this one...

These are the samples of what we will be doing, however you are free to change up the details to fit your own photos.

Father's Day Card

I'm doing a swap for masculine cards, and thought it would be perfect to do a Father's Day card. My mom found a piece of fabric so I decided to make a shirt card. I just cut the top and folder it over to make a collar. Then added some buttons and a little pocket. I stamped 'dad' with Stampin' Up's  Sweet Shoppe alphabet set. Then finished it off with a cute little 'hi' wooden pin from Little Yellow Bicycle.
