Yesterday we drove over to Windsor to walk along the riverfront. It was for the Windsor Paws in Motion Walk to benefit Mi REGAP’s senior and special needs greyhounds in their foster care program. They even have their own page on the website, Click HERE to see them. What a great time, My Mom, Dad, Jack & Buddy, and even Ricky showed up. Good Times!!
Saturday Morning I made Max a bandanna from an old shirt and printable fabric so he could represent Lucy. She really loved those walks with other greyhounds. It really brought out the diva in her. *giggles*

All breeds were welcome!

Oh what fun I had this month! SNS had a wonderful sponsor, Tin Box Creations, and I was honored to play with TBC’s
Spring Flower Set as well as SNS’s April Boys n Dirt Kit. 
First up I altered this faux leather box. I used Tin Box Creations‘ dotted flower border stamp from the Spring Flower Set, to stamp on the Olive - White Stitch Ribbon. I also used Mini Olive Ric Rac from the SNS Boys N Dirt Kit too. Other supplies Used: Stash Beads (to spell “Grow Beauty”), Stash flowers, Fancy Pants Rub Ons and Paper Frills.

More details to this box can be found HERE.
On my Altered Tile Project. I stamped the Flower Garden stamp with Staz On ink directly on my once plain tile
I then stamped the tile with the dotted flower border using Red Staz On Ink then outlining it with Red Stickles. Stash Sticker, Stash Blue Hearts and some awesome Mini Olive Ric Rac, and I was done!. Such a fast and easy project!

On my next project I created my Patterned Paper by using watercolor paints for the background. I then stamped it with TBC’s dotted flower & leaves stamps from the Spring Flower Set. I also “flocked” the dotted flower & Leaves stamps using a flocking kit I purchased from the SNS Store. The particular one I used is sold out, but HERE is a similar one, just different colors
Once dry I used Frosted Lace Stickles in the center of the flower. The glossy Flower by the “nature” tag was the dotted flower stamped on the backside of cardstock, embossed with a stylus, then sanded and inked and then used diamond glaze on it. I also used Baby Blue Stickles on the Huge Tan Ric Rac from the SNS Boys N Dirt Kit. This LO amazes me that I started out with just a white sheet of cardstock!

More details to this LO can be found HERE.
Next up is an altered Kleenex holder. I used Mini Olive Ric Rac & Oatmeal Grosgrain from the kit. I also used Basic Grey Boxer Patterned paper - Cargo & Basic Grey Boxer stickers from the store. More Details can be found HERE.

I altered an address book too. I used White Twill Tape from the SNS April Boys N Dirt kit. Other products used: Bohemia Barefoot & Dots/Red, Basic Grey Archaic/Rusty & Scenic Route Chipboard.

My next LO is 6 x 12 in size. I used Mini Olive Ric Rac & Oatmeal Grosgrain from the SNS Boys N Dirt kit. I also used Basic Grey Arcaic PP (Timeworn, Rusty, Dirty, Primal), stash stickers and a white pen.

My Last LO is 12 x 12 in size. I used White Twill Tape from the SNS April Boys N Dirt kit, as well as Cloud 9 Design PP (Man’s Best Friend), Fancy Pants PP, a Love Elsie Star, and red Cardstock.

What fun I had this month! Thanks Tin Box Creations and SNS!!

I had to wait until today to post it!! It was for the card countdown to the SavvyNSassy Olympic Online Crop.

My country was the Philippines.

National Flag of Philippines
Proportions: 1:2 Philippine Flag Description:
The flag of the Philippines consists of two horizontal stripes and a white horizontal triangle on the left side of the flag facing the middle. The top stripe is blue and the bottom is red. In each corner of the triangle is a five pointed gold/yellow star. In the center of the triangle there is a large gold/yellow sun.
Philippine Flag Meaning:
The blue stripe symbolizes patriotism and justice. The red represents valor and the blood spilt for freedom and independence and the white stands for peace and purity. The white triangle represents equality and the Katipunan nationalist organization. The three stars represent the three main geographical regions of the Philippines: Luzon, Mindanao and Visayas. The sun represents independence and its eight rays represent the eight provinces that led the Philippine uprising against Spanish rule.

For this card I used SNS Ribbon; found HERE as well as stash ribbon, Stash Cardstock and a great cutting file by Mary.

The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda, 1925-1998

“From Friend to Friend” by Karen Clouston
You’re giving me a special gift, so sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days, your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing when your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes, beyond into your soul,
I see in you the magic that will once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done, for it’s the only way.
That strength is why I’ve followed you and chose you as my friend,
And why I’ve loved you all these years…my partner till the end.
Please understand just what this gift you’re giving means to me,
It gives me back the strength I’ve lost and all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf, for that is what friends do,
And know that what you do is right. For I believe it too.
So one last time I breathe your scent and through your hand I feel,
The courage that’s within you to now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here, dear friend and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog, my pain and struggle done.
And don’t despair my passing, for I won’t be far away,
Forever here within your heart and memory I’ll stay.
I’ll be watching over you, your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I’ll run, a young dog once again.
In Loving Memory of Lucy Sue, my beautiful Red Fawn Greyhound April 16th 2001 - March 27th 2008 Cancer Sucks.
