happy birthday dd (Moxie Fab)

Another yippie here - in my cutting up craze I stumbled upon a PP that was just screaming to adorn DD's birthday card.  There's rumor a four-legged fur ball may be joining our family post-summer vacation.  At least that's what we've been telling her since post-summer vacation last year. We would love to have a dog (we are a Golden Retriever kinda family), but because we travel to my folks' every summer we've always nixed the idea.  The two rabbits were a compromise - can be carted to MIL's while we're gone.  And although they are work and she's a sweetie for taking care of them, a dog would be a bit much.  And a kennel for a month every year doesn't seem fair to the doggie.  And I know I wouldn't want to travel sedated in the belly of the plane with the suitcases.

But then DD discovered that certain dogs are small enough to take in the cabin on the airplane. She's really been looking into this and we've nixed the Chihuahua and are now at Havanese.  If any of you lovelies out there have one, or more specifically have one that travels, I'd love to hear your stories...

Anyhoo, this was supposed to be about PP.  And a card.  Here she is.

The whole front panel is from one piece of Webster's Pages PP.  I simply added the "laser cut" mint flowers and a gold embossed sentiment.  Hope she likes it.  Can't believe my little girl is going to be 15!

Now there's no feather or weather here, but I love the image for this week's Tuesday Trigger and I think it might subconsciously have made me more alert when I stumbled upon this doggie.  There is a very similar feel, agree?

Yippie... I've used up some more PP.  And I've got sore arms cuz I've finally taken the plunge and chopped the majority of my 12x12 up into 6x6 pieces.  I truly think this will help me use it more often - it worked this time!

TIP:  Think about pieces with special patterns that you might one day want to actually scrapbook on - don't chop 'em!  Keep some pieces for making envelopes or pillow boxes or book covers (I kinda forgot about that in my cutting craze.)

Anyhoo, here are my tags:

Know which challenges I'm playing?

Found this Webster's Pages paper pack, red/white/blue and bingo.  CASual Fridays #102.  I really like the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #29 so I went with it for my tags.

Now what are these lovelies adorning, you ask?  Well, it's a huge soccer day in Germany because the Champions League final (like a European Cup but with pro teams as opposed to national teams) is happening this evening in London.  And amazingly enough, two German teams are playing - Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.  I'm rooting for Dortmund cuz their trainer, Jürgen Klopp, commonly called "Kloppo"  is uber cool and got his start at our area team, Mainz 05!  Anyhoo, probably more than you really wanted to know.  But we are joining friends to watch the game and this is what I'm taking as host/hostess gifts ;)

Yep, we live in wine country but we can't ignore beer now can we?  Fair's fair!  Hope your weekend is nice.  Cheers to all the Memorial Day celebraters...
