Wish summer was here.

Hello my crafty friends,
With it being so cold up north my friends and family wish they were here in Florida. It is 75 degrees at the time of this posting and they are at 25 degrees. This beach baby image is from Robyns Fetish Be sure to stop by the Give a crafter a cookie challenge for more warm summer inspiration from our talented DT.  I used Darice clouds embossing folder on the base of the card and used the Silhouette Cameo to cut and print the background and sentiment.  I used Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink to color in the sand. The background image is a digital picture as well as the pail set and lighthouse embellishments. They are from my Scrapbook Max graphic program. Thanks for stopping by today and leaving your comments. I love hearing from you.

Unconditional Love Adopt a Pet

Hello my crafty friends,
For those of you who love pets or are looking for unconditional love. Adopt a pet.  Too many animals are in shelters. Turned in for any number of reasons. They grew bigger than I thought. They have too much energy. They're old. Or they were abused not taken care of. Have heartworm. (A simple once a month pill will prevent a very painful death and treatment.).  Not all the animals are puppies and kittens.  Some are older and seniors. They still have alot of love to give. Why not give a senior pet a place to lay their head and in return you'll have their "Unconditional Love".  There is always a need for foster homes too. If your looking for a specific breed there are many rescue groups. Here is one for Boxers  Florida Boxer Rescue. For today's challenge over at Pins this cute image is from Bugaboo Stamps. I used the Cuttlebug paw prints embossing folder for the mat. I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the image and Tim Holtz tea dye ink around the edges.  Have I told you how much I love my Silhouette Cameo lately? I used it to print and cut the image.  Thanks for stopping by today and leaving your comments. Have a happy crafty day.
