I've been working on a few cards for the aunts!
I'll show them to you, tell you about amazing blog candy, cause Brenda's so generous,
then you don't have to read the rest of the post!!!
I don't write in these when I send them, so they can pay them forward!
The flowers were kinda hard to work with.
They're made out of some felt-ish stuff that isn't very hardy!
When they're glued or glue dotted they're not repositional. AT.ALL.
There will be casualties!!
I'm linking this up over at Brenda's Blogaversary!
She makes the most awesome stuff!
Check it out!
Anyhoo....... she doesn't just let you enter, there's a bit of effort!
I have taken a picture of my Big Shot, as it's my 'go-to' for almost every card.
I love die cuts, and embossing.
It sits on my desk, and I think it's an easy way to add to every project!
In other news; we're dog sitting at work!
This is Jake.
He is 12 years old.
He is on a diet for being 'morbidly obese'!
He is on drugs for seizures.
Just look at those eyes, we laughed at work, and said
"No wonder he's overweight, he looks at you with those puppy dog eyes, and you just want to give him the whole bag of treats!"
His people are holidaying in the Dominican Republic!
We have him until next weekend!
He's really a good little feller!
I've been walking on the treadmill.
I finally feel everything's slowed down, now I need exercise!
I'm still busy, but it's cold out again, and I'm not doing much.
I started crocheting fingerless mittens, I'll let you know how they turn out.
I actually did one in a couple hours last night! They work up quickly.
Only because there was no happy hour at work, and no one was home did I sit & crochet!
I drove the community handivan the last 2 Thursdays, and it's been COLD!
The weatherman's been predicting snow, but it's not made much of an effort.
It will only cover up all the ice we have.
Won't hurt my feelings if it doesn't snow again this winter...
that being said, I've probably jinxed us!
FYI: The trip Vanessa & I took last Saturday? That I mentioned over here!?
This is for all you 'single' ladies who read this.
When you break up with your boyfriend,
take all your shit stuff, so your mom doesn't have to go get it!
All's well; it went ok.
I borrowed a truck from work, and we filled it inside & out!
(Of course he was there!)
We had lunch with friends in the next town,
a few laughs,
got back home & unloaded before supper!
Have a great weekend!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now.

What a sweet puppy. Those eyes get to you, every time. Loved your card, so very elegant with the dies you selected to show it off. That print mat is unsual & I really like that! Will have to remember & try it, as it's very effective at drawing the eye in. Pretty against the kraft base too. Loved the butterfly and the pretty flower trim. Enjoyed reading about the trip too! TFS & Hugs
You do lead an interesting life, don't you?
Lovely card.

Oh, that a pretty one Gail ... love the big butterfly. And Mr. Jake ... what a sweetie.
Yes, a very lovely card indeed! Glad to hear things have been slowing down a bit - I wish I could say as much! Enjoy whatever you can of the Olympics - I heard there will be hockey, too ;-)
such a pretty card! i like the felt-ish stuff that sticks; sometimes my bows fall off my cards. lol. aw, what a sweet dog with those cute puppy eyes! we're getting more snow today and if it never snows again, i'd be happy; this is the most we've ever had - we normally don't have to shovel. looks pretty but enough already.
have fun crocheting,
linda
Morning Gail,
Oh bless Jake, our poor Buffy was on obesity diet for the last couple of years, it was tough for her and us and how to explain to them it's for their own benefit ?
So you too have Aunts that rely on you for cards, I had one who used to get quite agitated if she ran low, but always appreciated them so much as she knew she was sending some different to what her friends got from the shops.
I do like the shape of this cards focal element and the print layer really draws the eye. I too am a Big Shot fan, I have the electric version which sadly they no longer seem to make but as mine is getting old I keep that just for my Timmy dies and put the rest through the e.bosser, which would take the Timmy ones, but I prefer the speed of the BS.
Thanks so much for joining in my blog celebration and good luck when it comes to the prize draws.

Oh, the things we do for our children, lol. I like your card and those troublesome flowers give a wonderful pop of colour. Fab diecut too!
That snow would melt pretty fast over here in Adelaide!!!
Hugs,
Sandy
