Happy Friday, folks! Hope everyone has had a good week! Time for another Friends with Flair today - and don't forget to go shopping at Unity's garage sale... :)
Sympathy cards are never fun to make, so it's really nice to have a "go to" great sentiment and image. As soon as I saw Dogs Leave Pawprints, I knew I had to get it (cat lovers can get Cats Leave Pawprints). Our next door neighbor's dog - who we met the second she came home - passed away a few days ago. She was 12 years old and a good dog. My neighbor was heartbroken. :(
I used sketch #168 from Freshly Made Sketches...
...and came up with this CAS card. Sometimes, simpler is just better.
Speaking of simple... this past week I made two new recipes - a Mushroom and Leek soup from a recipe I cut out years ago from a food magazine (chicken broth with mushrooms and leeks sauteed in butter [I substituted scallions for the leeks - if you'd like that recipe, please email me] and Roasted Broccoli (Marika hadn't been too impressed with my roasted green beans from last week).
Mushroom and Scallion soup
Roasted Broccoli
I was surprised the children liked the mushroom and scallion soup (next time, I would add tiny chunks of potatoes), but they loved (especially Marika) the roasted broccoli (they LOVED it). I'd definitely recommend pinning the broccoli recipe!
Thanks for visiting! Happy crafting!
Cute card.
ReplyDeleteI love this pet card, and how it was created. Thanks for the inspiration. I have needed far too many of these lately, and I am out of ideas. The veggies look yum!
