Sweet Little Blue Jean Birthday...

Here's a fun little Birthday card I made a while back.  This fun little Magnolia stamp is color, cut & layered for a nice 3 dimensional effect. I used Prisma pencils & mineral spirits for blending. Simple and fun :):):)

Happy Sunday!

Hugs,

Summer Bliss...

Hey there! 

Here's a sweet little card I put together...

The cabin was cut using my Cricut Expression and the cartridge is "Summer Bliss Seasonal".

The clouds, sunshine, roof, chimney are doodled and colored by me. 

I added random stitching and pretty little red roses.

I also propped the door open & you can see wallpaper inside. I used a brass colored brad for the door knob.

Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!

I Love Snow ~ Vintage Style Wooden Blocks Decoration

This was a fun little project...

I had my DH cut some scrap wood into 3"x 3" blocks with slightly rounded edges and I sanded them nice and smooth.  Then I choose 4 different patterns of paper, but all coordinating in color and cut them to fit my blocks, making sure that each side of each block had a different pattern to display.  I lightly inked all the paper edges with some TH distress ink.  I applied the papers with Modge Podge and let it dry completely.  Once they dried, I painted each side of each block with a sheer glimmer paint, for a very fine glitter effect (not visible in pic, but really pretty).  Last but not least, I added these pre-cut and pre-glittered, gold and red chipboard letters.

Cheers,

My 1st attempt at a digital layout...

Description: Short little story behind this page.... 

I'm a huge George Strait fan... Love, Love, Love his music! When Blue was an itty bitty kitten and I had 1st brought him home from the shelter, within 3-days he was deathly ill. To comfort him, I would let him lay on my chest, pet him gently and sing George Strait's song "Baby Blue" to him (real quite) and it seemed to sooth the poor little guy. So, from that time forward, this was "Blue's" song, I sang in to him for years and he knew it was his song :):):)

My Baby Blue Passed Away Saturday.... I miss him so very much :(

Blue loved to sit by the pond. This is him 5/20/11, a little over a  month before he passed away .

My Fur Baby "Blue"...

Blue's my special kitty, he's been with me for 13 1/2 years and he is very loved!  He's a great photography subject and his photo's have also been used on some of my past card creations (posted below).


Blue was a pound baby and it was love at 1st sight!  There he sat in that pound kennel, watching and waiting.  He took one look at me, put his head down, closed those big baby "Blue"s, smooshed his face into the bars that restrained him, stuck both arms out, reaching with all his might and cried MEEOOOW.  All I can say is... I was in love and I couldn't adopt him fast enough♥

♥BLUE♥

One of my favorites and the sentiment suits Blue's personality!

 

Inside sentiment: I'll have a Blue Christmas without you!

My Baby Blue was diagnosed with CRF just over 2 weeks ago and I'm just devastated, here's the prognosis... 

CRF is a terminal disease. The only questions are how long and how well the patient will live until the end. With proper treatment, the cat may have from months to years of relatively high-quality life. As the cat's caregiver(s), it is up to you to determine when the quality of life has decreased to a point at which prolonging life no longer has value.

As CRF progresses and toxin levels rise, cats become more uncomfortable with an overall sensation of feeling unwell. Human patients with a similar condition don't report "pain" but describe their condition as feeling poorly. Dehydration, in particular, can make the patient very uncomfortable. Aggressively treating CRF, especially with subcutaneous fluid therapy, should not be thought of as "prolonging the agony" as there is no significant pain associated with kidney failure until the end-stage. Even then, unless the patient convulses, the chief symptoms will be malaise, weakness, nausea and discomfort.
