"You Make My World Go Round"

Hi guys! How was your Wednesday? My little Sophie had to get sedated, to get her teeth cleaned today, and I was a little worried about her, but she woke up, seemed a little woozy, and is just fine! Thank goodness! Don't know what I'd do without my precious Sophie!

To pass the time, and try not to worry, while she was in recovery, I decided to make a card with Create A Critter, Elegant Edges, and Cardz TV Stamps "It's All About You". Hope you like it!





Thanks for spending some time with me today...Have a thankful Thursday!

The cupcake was cut from Doodlecharms @ 2" (Pg 108), and the mat behind the cupcake was cut from Elegant Edges @ 3 1/4" and 3 1/2" (Pg 39). The button and ribbon are from my stash, and I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the sentiment.

Where in the world is Mary?

Hi guys! I'm so sorry to be MIA this week! Since I've had so many emails asking if I was alright, I thought I'd better try to get a post up. I've had VERY LIMITED internet since Thursday, and I'm having major issues with my camera, but I've got a new camera now, I'm learning to use it, and hope to have a video up for you soon! Thanks so much for all your concern!

Hugs,
