We Miss You Abby

8-year-old Abby, our Miniature Schnauzer, recently lost her year-long battle with diabetes.  I didn't realize this could happen and it was unexpected.  Abby was always full of life and personality.  I decided I wanted a scrapbook page and I created this page as an 8"x8" in SU's My Digital Studio.  It was hard to choose pictures for the page since Abby was a ham for any camera.

We miss you sweet girl!

Tri-fold Sweetheart Card

I know Valentine's Day was yesterday, but I just now took pictures of Gary's card.  This card is actually a mini-album scrapbook page created by Kathy at Paper Phenomenon and the base for the page is made from one piece of 8-1/2"x11" cardstock.  I used Cherry Cobbler from SU. Below the pictures is a link for the instructions to make this cute scrapbook page.

Winter Envelope Mini Album

Here is another mini album I made recently.  The original concept is from Karlee at http://www.karleekrafts.com/.  I made this album as a sample for my Cricut class in October and decided to use it for our current winter season since it actually started with our first snow on September 17th!  Yes, winter does sometimes come early to northern Montana!
