Another busy few weeks have flown by.  My second semester of Vet Tech school has come to a close.  But, in just 10 short days, the fall semester begins.  Sheesh!  

After I completed my exams today, I needed to make a card for my Mother-In-Laws birthday, which we'll be celebrating at their lake place tomorrow.  I've been completely obsessed with all the new Feather stamps that are coming out (go figure, right?!).  I had pinned a card a while back that featured feathers, so I CASE'd. 

The original can be found here

And here's my card:

I used Clearly Besotted's Fancy Feathers stamps and Distress Ink in Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers, Ripe Persimmon, Mowed Lawn and Picked Raspberry.

Thanks for stopping by!

Well, it's been quite a while again.  There have been a few changes since I last posted.  I've finally started Vet Tech school!  In addition to my classes and my fulltime job at the Zoo, I'm also working for a dermatology vet one night a week and volunteering with Wild Mammal Care of Alabam once a week.  Needless to say, I haven't had much time to blog.  I still continue to papercraft and have recently begun supporting a wonderful organization called Operation Write Home whose mission is "Supporting our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as 'AnyHero' cards of gratitude to encourage them."  

Here are a few cards I've made for my Dad's birthday last year.

I got my inspiration from Stamp-n-Paradise

A friend recently lost her dear dog after 16 years, so I created this card for her.  I did have trouble finding DOG pawprints.  Most of the stamps out there are just generic paw prints, neither cat nor dog (and there is a difference!).  I finally found this one, but I had to add the claws to the top.

My inspiration came from this card.

Instead of ribbon, I used some raffia I had laying around and added a bandana at the corner of the card because Piglet always had a cute bandana on.

Thats it for now...its off to study I go!
