With Sympathy...Pet

Every year there are many animals that are abused and unfortunately these animals aren't able to speak for themselves.  So in honor of these animals, February 16-22, is National Justice for Animals Week...a week dedicated to raising awareness about how to report animal abuse and how to work locally with to strengthen animal protection laws and enforcement. 

 

Many of us have "furry friends" who are considered our "kids"!  In our house, it is RULED by 2 cats, Gizzy and Louie, whom both have such different personalities and we can't imagine life without either one of them.  Some days they get along great and other days not so well...just like brothers and sisters!  Even on those days when they aren't getting along, I know that if something happened to one of them, the other one would be lost.

 

Today I am sharing this "Pet Sympathy" card that I created in honor of all those animals who have been abused and weren't able to have a loving home.

 

 

 

 

This card was inspired by a tutorial that I had found on Operation Write Home.  This is one of those designs that looks complicated, but really it isn't and it is sure to become one of your favorites!

Adorable tin full of RAK!

Happy "Random Act of Kindness" week!  It's always so much fun giving friends and family little gifts, for no reason at all.  We get so busy at times in our lives, that sometimes we forget to just say "Thanks" for being YOU.  So this week, do something special for someone unexpectedly...it will make their day!  You just never know how far that little gift will go.  It might be just what they need to get through a rough time!

While shopping the other day, I came across these cute little tins and knew I had to pick a couple up, knowing I wanted to fill them up with the little candy.  However, that night while browsing Pinterest, you know that website that a lot of us have a love/hate relationship with....because 10 minutes become an hour!  I had seen the little hidden pouch in the tin, and knew I had to "steal" this idea.  I wish I could remember who shared this idea, but I can't...but it is an awesome idea and one I want to pass on to you!  Here is the cute little tin, all together...

And then here is the inside of the tin...

Isn't that just absolutely ADORABLE?!?!?  It is just a toilet paper tube that I put pattern paper around and then attached it to the bottom of the tin with some glue dots.  Proceed to fill the outside with candy, this is the tricky part, and then you can put whatever you want in the little hidden pouch!  These would be adorable to make into "mini Easter Baskets".

If you are looking for an Easter or Spring stamp set that is full of FUN, AJVD Hello Spring is the way to go!  I get so many compliments when I use this stamp set and have inspired others to add it to their collection!  So hop to it and get yours....you won't be disappointed!

Here are some additional photos...

Also, the paper that I used is PERFECT for these cute little RAK...so BRIGHT and CHEERY!  This is the "Easter-rific" collection by Moxxie.  This paper goes great with this stamp set and I couldn't have found candy to match any better either!  You will definitely get some HIGH marks for this little gift!



 Thanks for stopping by and I hope your enjoying RAK week!

A Fun Spring Card...

Happy Wednesday!  I would like to share with you this FUN Spring card that I created with Moxxie's NEW "Night to Remember" prom collection and A Jillian Vance Designs, Spring stamp set, "Spring in Bloom".  I LOVE the colors and patterns of this collection and I knew I wanted to go "outside of the box" and use it for something other than prom.  The colors are just so VIBRANT and are going to become quick favorites.  Seriously, I can't seem to get enough of these papers. 

The stamps that are used on this card are from A Jillian Vance Designs Spring stamp set, "Spring in Bloom".  I love the looks of the flowers and butterflies and the sayings are just perfect for Spring and the Easter season.  Plus, I LOVE that the stamps are made to color in...that way you can make your flowers any color you choose!

 

This weeks card was inspired by this weeks, Mojo Monday sketch.  If you have never heard of Mojo Monday, I would highly recommend going and checking it out.  Each Monday, there is a new sketch reveled and it's up to you if you would like to join in the challenge.  The first sketch of the month, is a challenge where you could possibly win and you have a week to get your creation turned in.  So long story short...just go check it out!!

 

 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Lucky Friend

Wow...it's the last Wednesday of the month and I am officially coming up to finishing my FIRST actual month on the TRUE AJVD Design Team!  I was fortunate to guest design for November and December, and then asked to take on a regular position!  Let me tell you, that was one of the best things I could have done!  I am definitely one LUCKY girl to be working with such an AMAZING company and team!  I am definitely LUCKY to have these "new friends", even if there is some distance...it is still a TRUE FRIENDSHIP!

 

I have chosen to use our fun "Lucky Stamp Set" and this card would be perfect to give to that special friend!  This card was also created using this weeks Mojo Monday 330 sketch.  Sometimes we all need that little inspiration, to get our thoughts going!  Here is the sketch:

 

 

And my take on the sketch:

 

 

I decided to turn my sketch on its side and work with it that way!  This card was so much fun to create and I just LOVE the stamps!  I am sure we all have that special friend, that would enjoy getting this card in the mail.

 

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my AJVD creation!

Adorable Moxxie Easter-rific Layout

Happy Saturday! I am here with another ADORABLE layout using Moxxie NEW Easter-rific paper line.  I am LOVING this colleciton and the colors are just perfet for all your Easter and Spring photos.  I just can't get enough of this paper!

I created this layout using this weeks sketch from Simple Sketches.  If you haven't heard of them, you must go check them out.  There is a new layout introduced every Saturday. Here is the sketch for this week...

As you can see I incorporated the one page sketch into a 2 page layout!  Plus...don't forget to check out those CUTE little bunnies in the top right hand corner.  Look at their litte ears...

I just had to have fun with those cute little ears.  Don't they just look like they are going to JUMP out of the page?!?  I also took some of the leftover paper and created a card, using the same sketch!  It's always nice to look at a sketch and be able to use it for either cards or layouts!

I hope all of you are enjoying the Easter creations that the Muses have been sharing.  I know I LOVE to see what everyone comes up with...that is what makes us all UNIQUE!  So make sure to checkout your LSS to grab your NEW Moxxie collections!  If they aren't being carried by your LSS, make sure you ask them to order it in!  Your definitely going to want to get your hands on this collection!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a WONDERFUL Saturday!  Just remember, every day is a day closer to SPRING!!

Blessings & Hope...
