A few weeks ago, I was invited to attend a 'doggie shower', and to bring our fur legged babies, Flake and Sophie. Since Flake and Sophie are a bit grumpy themselves, I chose to take our uber-sweet grand-daughter-doggie, Rosie to the park instead!
Here we are, enjoying the day...
This lady is a LONG time friend. She and her DH cannot have children, so believe me when I say that this puppy shower was SO special, so much fun, and such a great day.
I needed a very special, and unique card.
As in many previous emergencies, CardMaker Magazine came to my rescue! In their Spring Special Issue, 'Quick & Easy Cards', on page 34, is a card designed by Janice Kohles. (Sorry, I tried to link Janice up, but could not find active link - if you know Janice, please tell her she's 'famous' :)
Anyhooooo.....here is MY version of Janice's card, using an actual photo of our Grumpy!
I literally grabbed scraps of leftovers, and an OLD sheet of woodgrain CS, so am not even going to attempt to list supplies here. Hope Grumpy and Rosie brought a smile to you on this beautiful day!
The 'kids' are safely in Germany. If you would like to read about their travel from the US to Germany, and their days since, please feel free to check out DD's last few blog posts. She loves to have visitors
and comments! You can find her HERE.
If anyone knows where I can find stamps of the 'potty people' (you know, like the icons on a restroom door), please let me know!!! Thanks in advance!
Hugs and blessings,

ReplyDeleteSo sweet….the photos and the card! The woodgrain paper is perfect for this project. I know your friend appreciated the custom card for her shower! TFS!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic, Patti! Very cute card - love that woodgrain CS. I also enjoyed reading your DD's blogpost about their travels to Germany. I thought it was very interesting to learn how they transport our troops on assignment overseas. Thanks for posting the link to her blog. She's a terrific writer!

Oh my goodness, but this is the most adorable doggie card that I've seen in ages. I had to laugh at the "grumpy" part...my mother-in-law had a dog like that. Not very social with others of her kind. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, sweet friend.
Too cute and fabulous, Patti! I love the idea you borrowed and look how perfectly it worked out.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing the photo of you - you look maaavelous!!! So happy to read you comment on my blog. Thanks so much for visiting....I miss you.
