Hi all, before i get onto my card I want to thank you all for your concern over Jess, she has improved and did go to the party, unfortunately she didn't like it, I think she was overwhelmed by the other puppies and hid under the chairs for most of the time. It was such fun as well, all the pups were let of their leads and allowed to play and mix with each other, the main characters were Monty, a Chocolate 5 month Lab and a 5 month old Staffie, they played tumble and roll most of the night they tired me out just watching them. The youngest and smallest pup was a little liver and white Springer Spaniel called Bracken, but Jess was not the only wallflower there were 3 other small pups who decided to try and sit it out under the chairs, Jess has been invited back to the next party to try and get her more confident.
Although Jess got over her sickness I am afraid I caught a stomach bug I have not been well for the last 3 days which is why I have not been around, I do thank you all so very much for leaving me comments, I will be visiting you all later today.
Now onto my card, which I would like to enter into the following challenges;
This is an 8x8 white scalloped edged card, I have used a blue pearlescent card-stock that I embossed with one of my 8x8 embossing folders, the papers and image are from the new Ooh La La CD called Yesterdays Memories (link in side bar), I added some flower pearls, pink organza bow and flowers.
Many thanks for visiting, I will see you later, hugs to all.

Poor Loraine,sorry your poorly, hope your over the worse. So glad Jess is ok, and it's ok to be a bit shy at first.
adorable birdies on your card,the design is so beautiful.
take care. hugs janex
I really like this sweet image, and you've made such a gorgeous card out of this. Just lovely from top to bottom.
Thanks for sharing the story about Jess. Sounds a lot like our miniatrue schnauzer, Belle. The first time she saw another dog, she acted like she was shocked to learn there were other dogs in the world, cuz she thought she was the only one. And to this day, she wants to be the only one in our worlds and gets very jelous of other dogs (even get a little jelous when I feed the turtle and talk in that baby voice to him). LOL They are such a blessing in our lives, and such a joy. God is so good to give us such special friends.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful card, and please come back soon. I just LOVE seeing your art.
Blessings,
Karen

Very sweet card Lorraine. Love the embossed card stock - really adds a nice touch. Cute image too. NancyD
Hi Lorraine, hope you are feeling better - nasty bugs! We had this problem with Eddy our JR when we took him to the local vets puppy party.
He was so small compared to the labs and collies! He hid under my chair for the whole time - they do grow out of it!
Gorgeous card, love the image hugs Karen x
