I also used some kraft cardstock called Desert Storm by Neenah, some mini clear sequins, Large Heart Dies by Simon Says Stamp, some May Arts Natural Twine, Burlap, white lace and a Maya Road Natural Wood Button.
And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
Before I go, I want to introduce you to the newest member of our family! Portia!
A week ago, my husband and our 7 yr old went to Pet Smart to buy some fish food. While they were there, Antonio wanted to go and see the cats. Right before they got there, Portia was brought in by her foster mom to be put up for adoption. Immediately a bond was formed between the 2 of them. Well, all last week, my kids and myself included, kept asking (bothering!) my husband to go and get the kitten. He kept saying no! Well, little did we know my super sweet husband went back to Pet Smart that day (he told me he was going to the gym!) and filled out the adoption papers! There were 5 other people after us who filed the papers for her, as well, just that day alone! Luckily, we were able to bring her home on Sunday! She is almost 4 months old and the most lovable and friendly kitten/cat I have ever seen! She is unbelievable! She is a beautiful taupe color and pure white, super soft and has a bushy tail like a squirrel! I finally have another girl in the house besides me! ;) Here they are getting to hold her for the first time. Life is good! ♥
Have a sweet day!
hugs...
