Reach for the stars

Hi there!

I have a quick little card to share ....
Thanks to a dear blog friend (love you Sue) I received some PTI dies today ...
Of course once other things were taken care of I had to make a card with one of the new dies ... The luggage tag die ... 


I used the tag to make a shaker style card ... the tag was cut from previously white CS that I sprayed with inks first


I'm still loving the grey CS and I thought this would be suitable for a girl or boy ... perhaps for graduation.

I'd like to enter this at a 'new to me' challenge blog



On another note I had to take little Ginger to the vet ... He has allergies and it makes his eyes sore and he tears at his skin ... Suffice to say I got lots of meds which together with the consultation fee totalled £87! Two problems ... He will not let us put drops into his eyes ... It stings and he goes ballistic! Secondly, one of his tablets is a steroid which of course makes him hungry but the vet has put him on a diet ... since being neutered he's put on 2 kgs! I feel so cruel right now!

I hope things are all good with you ...

Till soon

  1. You're not being cruel - you just have a long-term perspective which he doesn't have ;-) And he'll forgive you soon enough. I absolutely LOVE your card, colors, layout - everything!

    Sorry to hear about Ginger. Our pets are sometimes complicated to deal with, but I know you would agree...so worth it!

  5. Poor kitty! Why can't meds just take care of what they're supposed to instead of causing other issues. Hope you can figure out a way to help the poor guy. You did a fantastic job making the shaker out of the tag. It's really fun. Hugs!
