No better friend...

Hi All!! It has been quite a while since I last posted here. We are now in our new home but still have a lot to do to unpack and get settled. It has now been a week...We love the house but still have a lot to get used to moving 500 miles away. All in time....

Anywho...today I am popping in to share one of the darling new sets at Our Daily Bread Designs. I have missed my stamps but after not playing with them for so long I feel mojoless. It may take a bit to get myself retrained. LOL!

The set I used for my card is Cat Sympathy (an ODBD stamp set). While a lot of the sentiments are great for sending to a friend who has lost their dear pet friend, it is such a darling image for any occasion. The designer paper is not really paper, it is material. I found it at Hobby Lobby prior to our move. The image is colored with copics. The die to frame the image is a Spellbinders Floral Ovals. The ribbon is May Arts Silk tied with the bow easy.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are inspired in some way by my creation!
Have a blessed day!!

hugs and blessings,

Traci M said...: Chris, it's so great to see you back, full of lots of gorgeous creativity to boot!! You know, when we made one move and were in a corporate apartment, I spent a lot of time hanging out at the grocery store (kind of like a local market that had a wonderful deli and made 2 recipe books.) That was before stamping, so don't feel bad if you find yourself wandering a bit...it takes time to become acclamated in a new area! Just take your time and enjoy the adventure!; April 13, 2012 at 10:08 PM
Melodie said...: Wow, I love this cat with this wonderful paper.
