Dog Sympathy

This year has not been a good one for my family and friends with their pets. Two more people had to say goodbye to their beloved animals.

Both of these cards I have made before, in the past. The pawprints and the ribbon one was done in blue last time, so this time I did it in pink.

Thanks for dropping by!

Designed in My Memories Suite digital software

Embellishments - Dog Dayz of Summer (pawprints); Blossoms Abound (ribbon)

Font - Adorable

 

Wild Abounds

 

At first, I didn't think there were many different variations of this stamp, but when I saw a card where the stamp looked through a window... I thought, sweet! I can use the stamp again! Which is great as my Aunt loves pandas!

So, I paired the 'Wildly Happy' panda stamp with the 'Happiness Abounds' sentiment stamp. I also used the 'Friendly Hello' Designer Series Paper (kinda looks like bamboo leaves - right! lol

Anyway, thanks for taking a closer look!

Stamp sets used - Happiness Abounds, Wildly Happy

Ink - Memento

Paper - Granny Apple Green, Basic Black, Basic White, Friendly Hello DSP

Dog Sympathy

 

Now I know I designed a card similar to this a while back ago... but it had a pink ribbon and the name 'Lya' on the ribbon. I really liked the look of it, so when my Goddaughters dog passed away... I knew what card to design for her and her beloved Maserati! 

I designed this creation in My Memories Suite digital software.

The paw prints where just placed in a heart shape.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies Used:

My Memories Suite

Embellishments - Dog Dayz of Summer - Pawprint (Stina); Blossoms Abound - Banner (SU)

Paper - Basic White, Boho Blue

Accessories - Stampin' Trimmer

Pawprint Sorrow

 

My brother and sister-in-law's doggie went to heaven today (well, 3/31). It's so hard to say goodbye to a furry friend. Lya was such a gentle soul... she got along with everyone.

I made this card using My Memories Suite digital software. I saw a heart shaped pawprint card on Pinterest and I fell in love with it.  Each pawprint is individual, so I just placed the prints around in a heart shape. I added the banner... which was plain. Then added a text box with the word 'Lya' and made it look like it was on the banner.

Meadows Lodge 2015

The Schwab Family (my side) got together for a family lodge trip in southern Ohio (Hocking Hills area) this past week.  This is the 3rd trip we've made, and we've stayed in a different lodge each time from the Buffalo Lodging Company.  This time, the Lodge was called 'Meadows Lodge'.  We had tons of fun and really enjoyed our time with family.

I kept my pages simple, so that I could create the album fast plus really showcase the wonderful photos and fun time we had.
