This card was for the CSSC74 _ "It's ALL About ME" challenge. This image describes me to a tee! I love animals and this little girl is serving tea to her kitty and doggy. I love all animals! DH and I are sponsors of animals at both Best Friends and Northeast Animal Shelter. We sponsor dogs since we can't have dogs in the condo complex we live in. Instead we have six kitties!
The image is from the Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Childhood Images and Journal booklet. I mounted it on a scrap piece of patterned paper and then went around the outside with my pinking shears. I popped it up on dimensionals. The sentiment is from Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps Home Sweet Home set. It is two different sentiments that I combined into one. I added a row of tiny pink rhinestones from A Muse. The background paper is from Crafty Secrets Radiant Paper pad. The card base is a Memory Box Mocha card that I purchased here.
This card was made for the Crafty Secrets challenge over at the Paper Craft Planet. Darlene's challenge was to use things on our card that started with a "P". My "P's" are Post card, Paris and pink. I know I was really stretching it! LOL The image is from Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Girl Friend Homespun Cotton Scraps. All of the images on that sheet of cotton are in pink and black and so cute! I mounted the cotton scrap on a scrap piece of CS paper. The background paper is from Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Classic Paper pad. The sentiments are from Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps Journey set and stamped with Palette Hybrid Starry Night ink. I picked out a bunch of Sweet Blush buttons from PTI and sewed them on the background paper...this way they are not going anywhere.
Having another rainy day today! At least the kids won't have to water the garden for a while!
Both of these are FAB! Great job on the challenges!
