Happy Birthday Daddy, Love Kayla

My oldest grand daughter, Kayla had a sleepover with us a couple of weeks ago. She wanted to make cards - it was going to be her Daddy's birthday in a couple of days. So together we made this cute 3 x 3 card. She chose the puppy stamp - it looks just like her dog Bennie. She stamped the paw prints for the bg, stamped the puppy and the bone. Gramma assembled the card. She then picked the candles for the inside and coloured them. We signed her name and Daddy's. Gramma helped her find the right letters so she could stick them on the envelope. Look how happy, sweet and proud she looks... Her Daddy loved his card.

Happy stamping, thanks for stopping by.

Memories of Memphis

I made this card/mini scrapbook for my Daughter "Kristy" and her family. Last week they had to have their beloved dog "Memphis" put to sleep. Memphis was a wonderful pet and friend to everyone. I wanted to make a sympathy card for them and this is what I came up with. I changed a colour photo into sepia. Matted image with white and black. Main card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 kraft. I used the Creating Keepsakes dp - I tore the paper in half and sponged edges with close to cocoa. Sewed around edges. Added the Daisy D hardware hinges. Sponged close to cocoa on the chipboard letter. All layers are popped up.

For the inside, there are 5 pages. First one is the sentiment and then four blank pages. I stitched down the left side then added the large eyelets. I stamped the paws in close to cocoa. Tied the little book closed with polka dot ribbon. I am very pleased with how this turned out. My daughter and her husband absolutely loved it.

Thanks for stopping by...
