Rest In Peace our Beloved Kasper

Today is such a sad day, my beloved Bunny passed away this morning. It came as a complete surprise, myself and my girls are completely devastated. We have had Kasper for  about four years and she was a huge part of our lives. I will miss her everyday. Here are some of my favorite photos.

 Relaxing in the yard:


Hanging with her BFF

 And my absolute favorite:


Always with us, we love you Kasper.

My girls asked me to post what they made for her:

School Project for Valentine's Day!

Looking for the Sweethearts blog hop? Click HERE! 


 I love when I my kids have school projects to do because we get to use all my supplies, not like the old days some construction paper and crayons!

Most of this project was used with recycle material and made by my 9 yr old for her Valentine's day party. She has to bring in a box to hold the valentine's they receive.

She used a cereal box, construction paper, left over foam hearts from a craft. The Valentine heart and lips were made with left over scrap paper. The love is a rub on.







Lips from Indie Art
Heart from Simply Charmed
Peachy Keen PK640 Stamps

Super Bowl Sunday?? Is that Today?

Looking for the Sweethearts blog hop? Click HERE! 
 
So I guess today is Super Bowl Sunday!! I DO NOT like sports or know anything about them but I was left very strict instructions on what kind of pizza and wings to make sure were here for dinner!

So while I was hopping around I came across Scrappin Sista ( My fellow Creative Cutter Room DT friend!)
and she is having a Super Bowl Sunday Challenge! And since today I am all about challenges, I thought I would join in.

The first thing I did was look up on-line what a football looks like up close (LOL I know....)

Then I searched my cartridges for a football... and guess what?? No luck!

So I ended up using the lemon from Simply Charmed!

I used the mosaic Cuttlebug embossing folder and hand cut the white stripes.  I punched holes and threaded some white string through. 

I guess I was talking to myself out-loud trying to decide on ribbon and my daughter told me I had football ribbon... WHAT??? Why do I have football ribbon?? But I guess I did and she knew exactly where it was! 

Sports paper is from the $1.00 bin at Target.

I checked with Husband and he gave his approval except he said I should have added Rawlings... Hmmm seriously?? Then I was told I was obstructing the T.V.




Thanks Christel for this Super challenge!!
