It's not much, but it's all I've got!

I'm really not happy with the card I'm showing on this week's Friends With Flair, but I've been participating every Friday since I discovered this great hop, and I don't want to break my streak!  I really like the 2 cards in the post below this one, so if you're so inclined, check out those 2 cards, and judge me on those, not this one!

First, though, I have to share one of my favorite pictures of my Golden Retriever, Sammy.  He is 7 years old today.  And yes, he's jumping with joy.  He jumps over my head all the time, especially when it's SUPPER time!


And, a little background on today's card.  I got a Silhouette Cameo a week or so ago, but have hardly found time to play with it.  Tuesday evening, I turned it on for the second time, found a 12x12 sheet of chevrons, and figured out how to shrink it to card size, edit out what I didn't want, then cut them.  I was very proud of myself, LOL.  Then, I put them on this card, and needed to figure out what to do with the rest of it.  I wanted to use something from my new Unity Kit of the Month, and this image fit the space I had.  Well, I tried this, and I tried that, and nothing pleased me.  After another evening and playing with the stamped image, I gave up, and stuck this on, calling it done.  I promise next week's will be more visually pleasing!

  12. Julie, I tried that same stamp this weekend, I like your result. I'll be posting mine soon. Your dog is unbelievable! I've never seen a golden jump like that. I have my 3rd now, he's a character! People who meet him think he's a puppy, and he's 11. Barb

  13. Hello Julie,

    I'm your new follower :). Your dog can jump so high? I hope he's not the escaping type, because it seems that he can easily jump over the fence.

    Oh about your card, I love the chevrons :)

  14. Awesome card, Julie! Love those chevron stripes! I have yet to ink up that flower stamp and you have inspired me to get it dirty ASAP! I am now following your blog by email. I apologize to you because I could have bet that I was a regular follower too...I do not know what happened, but I am following now on both :)

    LOVE that photo of your lovely pup! Happy birthday
