Pillow box Hope

 Was inspired by the back of the Summer Mini to get out my Pillow box die.  Of course mine doesn't look like the one on the back cover.  But I like how it turned out.  Speaking of turning out, you can whip these out in no time for any kind of favor or just to lay on someones desk, or to put in with your deposit at the bank... Just to let everyone know never loose hope!

Same Dog?

Thought I'd give you girls a Lillie update.  Took her to the groomers and she got her "summer" cut.  She LOVES the outside and was so hard to keep brushed and cool.  So Thought I'd try this.  She looks like she shrank!  I didn't think it was the same dog.  But she is, she is still a hoot!  I feel she feels better but I need to feed her more.. she looks so skinny!  Wish I could get a hair cut that made me look skinny and younger!  She looks more like a 9 month old puppy she is without all that fur.   Stay tuned tomorrow more Stampin' Projects.  I'm headed to my room to create for Stamp Camp!

We used the Big Shot and the Alphabet Simple Letters Die to create the word Travel
