This past week I’ve started my mornings with a coffee and a look at the Stampin’ Up! Inventory Status Report. Once again I’ve been shocked at how many retiring stamp sets have completely sold out. This makes creating projects a real challenge. Today I’m taking the opportunity to use the Pampered Pets Stamp Set one last time. It’s currently showing as low stock and will likely be gone completely by the end of the weekend. I couldn’t resist creating this sympathy card using the sweet dog image. ... VIEW POST
Pets Project By Special Request
Do you have pets? I’m decidedly a ‘cat person’. I just love that they won’t put up with stuff the way dogs seem to do. A while ago a friend who was definitely a 'dog person' was convinced by her daughter to get a cat. Since its arrival this cute little kitten has won hearts and minds. So much so that the youngest daughter asked if I could make her a bookmark with a cat. So yesterday I pulled out the Pampered Pets Stamp Set and happily got to work. PET ... VIEW POST
Pampered Pets For A Customer Order
I love doing craft fairs, especially at this time of year. It's so good to reconnect with old friends and customers, and meet new ones. At one of the craft fairs I attended recently I was asked for pet sympathy cards. This lady actually wanted six different ones and I agreed to make them specially for her. So among all the Christmas and other projects, this has been on my to do list. Here's one of the cards, featuring a cat image and sentiment from the Pampered Pets Stamp Set. PAMPERED ... VIEW POST
Pets Always Keep Us On Our Toes
I'm a cat person. There I've said it. I had a variety of pets as a child, dogs, cats, rabbits etc. But I love the individuality and personality of cats. We currently have Houdini (who's just popped into the craft room to remind me I haven't given him breakfast...). He's a sweet black cat, 11 years old now, but still spritely enough to catch the occasional mouse. Last month right in the middle of my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge Houdini caught me unawares and brought a live mouse into the ... VIEW POST

Seeing The Last Of Seaside Spray
Today's card really is the final one using the retiring Seaside Spray ink. It's a beautiful blue colour that I am going to miss terribly. So it seems only fitting that my final project is a sympathy card. DOG SYMPATHY The Pampered Pets Stamp Set is one I've had for a while but not used much. It contains images of two dogs and two cats plus some great sentiments that are not specifically pet related. Today I began with a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Very Vanilla Card and using Early ...
