Teacher's Pet

My 10-year-old daughter definitely has a way with animals.  Typically shy with people, she is never timid around four-legged, furry critters.  So when her teacher announced that they were getting a class pet, Shannon immediately volunteered to help take care him.  I'm so thankful that her teacher snapped this picture of Shannon & Freddy, the class guinea pig.

Details:

Cricut cartridge: Four Legged Friends (I know; it's a hamster.  It's the closest thing I had to a guinea pig.)
Patterned paper: Carolyn Gavin - K&Company
Cardstock: Coredinations; Bazzill (light blue)
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink - Faded Jeans
Chalk: Pebbles Inc.
Brads: Making Memories
Letter Stickers: Chatterbox

Shannon doesn't know it yet, but Freddy's coming to stay with us for a week at the end of the month, while her teacher is away.  Then the balance of power will have shifted at our house.  There will be more four-legged creatures in residence than two-legged ones.  Good thing it's only for a week! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Marcy

A Purrr-fect Birthday

The Pink Stamper has a challenge this week to make Cricut birthday cards, which happens to coincide perfectly with my dear sister-in-law's birthday today! Hi, Megan! *waves* Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Meg loves pink & cats, so that drove my inspiration for this card. The images are from the new Wal-Mart-exclusive Cricut Lite cartridge, Four-Legged Friends, which has so many great animal images on it and is perfect for pet lovers.

Sorry about the photo quality. We've been dumped on with lake-effect snow here in Western Pennsylvania, and the available light in the house is pretty dreary. IRL that ribbon is not red at all but the same burgundy as the cardstock.

I do love how the patterned paper looks like a linoleum tile floor!
