Let me start out by saying Baby It's Cold Outside!! Last weekend here in Michigan it was a perfect summer's day in the spring. Sunny in the high 70's not too breezy. What a nice gift for Mother's Day weekend. This weekend it was in the low 40's rainy windy and stayed that way!!
My poor body doesn't know how to react. I'm snuggled in my sweats and fuzzy socks under an afghan writing this post. So that became the inspiration for my card. This week at Sweet Stamps the theme is "Birthday". How easy is that!!
This is Stuffed Dog 235. He is one of the stuffed animal collection. I just LOVE these guys!! If you have seen the pillow pets that is all the craze, these stuffed animals look just like them. So I decided to pair this card up with an actual puppy pillow pet for a little boys birthday gift!
See how much fun making cards can be once you let your imagination run! Come on over and enter our challenge this week. Everyone needs birthday cards.
