And, I had to add a close up of the All A Flutter Stamp. It was so perfect for these pictures. I didn’t take it with me, so when I got home, I added it. I stamped it in Staz On on the page and then again on a very vanilla piece. I colored it with blender pens and then cut it out and popped it up a little. It is so pretty! I love this stamp!
On a side note, I had to put my sweet chihuahua Libby down this morning. It was so traumatic. I thought I was prepared, but wow. I cried like a crazy lady. She was our first baby and was 11 years old. She lived a long life and it was time for her to go to Heaven. I think I need to dig out some pictures and scrap a page about her. She was a sweet furry friend that kind of got pushed to the side with the arrival of all our real babies. But, none the less, she will be greatly missed. I think scrapping about her will be wonderful therapy…
Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow!
I LOVE your card; the stamp set was a perfect choice for that challenge – and the scrapbooking pages too! It must feel great to have so many completed pages to look at.
Tons of fun projects here! Love all the pages! 🙂
Love your orange ribbon and your stamped flowers – beautiful design! Thanks for joining us at PPA! Your family is gorgeous – great pages! And I am so sorry about your baby dog – I have always had a dog and losing one is so hard!
Bye Bye sweet and funny Libby! She is the only chihuahua I ever loved.
It is always a sad day to loose a pet, they are such a big part of a family. I sure hope that you have lots of pictures to scrapbook and remember her by. On the other hand your card is gorgeous. I love the colors and the ribbon is the perfect accent. Thanks for playing along with the diva sketch!
SO MUCH ADORABLE to look at! Love all your scrapbook pages and really love that card! Thanks for joining the Divas' challenge!!
