Cute Critters On Artistry

I was having some fun with the images I could cut from the new Artistry cartridge. I love the animals that are on the cartridge like the hedgehog and fox, but I wanted to start out with some pets. These simple cat & dog images should be called Best 'Furr'iends!

I have to mention that the "Best friends" label is also cut from the Artistry cartridge and is stamped with one of the MyAcrylix stamp sets that comes with the collection. I dry embossed some paper for the background and used an older patterned paper to create a scene. With the cartridge doing most of the cutting, this card comes together quickly!

You can purchase the regular collection or digital edition today online!

Parade of Pages {Best Friends}

Summer time is the best when it is spent with friends! Today's page on parade is perfect for capturing memories with a friend.

My daughter & her best friend are trying to spend every moment together. They have been in school together for 2 years and do lots of activities together. They first met at church, bowled in a summer league together, make music in band, sing together & played golf for their middle school team this year. They are inseperable, until recently. Her friend's dad is in the Navy and their entire family will be deployed to Japan for 3-4 years. They leave this week on their great journey. These girls are spending every last moment together. I sure hope they can still "face-time" overseas!
