Best Friends Furever Blog Hop

Welcome to the Best Friends Furever Blog Hop! 

This campaign is awesome if you are a dog or cat owner. There are several options available to create 12x12 pages, a mini album, some cards or just do your own thing! This blog hop is about using some of those products to create projects other than those available though 

Close To My Heart. 

You should have arrived here from Cat Nowak's blog.

If you get lost, a complete list of participants can be found on Melinda Everitt's blog.

I chose to use both the stamp sets from this campaign (Eat Play Love - for dogs and 

Kitty Cuddles - for cats) plus the paper pack. Photos of each stamp set are below. 

I used Pattern #24 from Make It From Your Heart Vol. 4 (card patterns). I wanted to use the same pattern to create a dog card and cat card. 

The images were coloured using the Tri-Blend markers and mounted on Black cardstock. Some Silver Embellishing Thread was placed above each of the sentiments and I added some gems as well. The inside of each card is also decorated but I am not showing that here. I love how the papers are interchangeable - notice the fish on the cat card and the bones on the dog card. That's the same paper with a different pattern on each side, appropriate to either dogs or cats... although I suppose some cats play with bones and dogs would eat fish if given the chance :) 

I hope you enjoyed my cards.

The next consultant on this blog hop is Gina Brandstetter's blog.

I am sure she has a terrific project to share with you!
