Moleskine Monday - Fly Away

On Sunday of last week we had to put my little Coco down.  He was 11 years old and was having a hard time walking and would not eat.  He was in the vet with an IV for two and a half days and did not get any better.  It was hard to say goodbye and I had no idea what an impact he had on my life.

He made me more patient and loving.  Our family loved him so much.  

This page makes me think about him.

Art Journal Cover & A Walk in the Park

I'm in the middle of a few pages in my moleskine so I thought I would share another project with you.  I'm working on a kraft chipboard book I picked up from Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and I wanted to share my progress. The brand of the album is Farm House Paper Company. Some of the pages are chipboard and others are tiny envelopes.  I'm no where near finished but I'm happy with the cover so far.

My mom and I were on a morning walk when we came across an empty birds nest. There are still quite a few birds hanging around. I'm already looking forward to the spring when flowers bloom and the warm weather comes back. 

Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone had a great holiday!

With Love - Sketch #76

I'm sad to say that this is my last DT card for Cardabilities.  I had a great time designing for the team and wish Karan and my fellow DT members the best of luck!  The card I created is for my Stepdad for Father's Day (it kinda snuck up on me).

My tips for masculine cards:

• Keep the embellishments clean and simple.
• Mix fabrics to add visual texture.
• Neutral colors can make for a fuss free card.
• Lastly, create it with love because I'm sure he will love it!

Thanks for coming along on this journey with me!

Please stop by Cardabilities as we would 

love to see what you create with this weeks sketch!

31 Days of ATCs & Giveaway

I had this crazy idea to make 31 ATCs for the month of December!  

Each day I will share an ATC and at the end of the month I will have a give away.  

I figure it would be a great way to end the year and use up some more of my stash.

So, here is my Day 1....

I stopped by Joanns and picked up this some new 

Basic Gray Fact & Fiction chipboard stickers.  

They were 50% off so I had to pick them up.

The giveaway details...

I will have a giveaway at the end of this month. All you have to do is be a follower and post a comment to the very last ATC post on the 31st of this month! I will choose a random winner the following week.

Here is a list of the goodies...

Recollections Flowers

Donna Downey Canvas Banners

4 Fabric ATC cards

7 Gypsies Cling Stamps

Romance Novel Prima Cling Stamp Set

I would love to win myself.
