first off HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear son :) welcome to the 40's

 

Welcome to Free Friday at Catch the bug http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/

This darling PRETTY PUPPY is the new free image. This dog is like my little four legged kid Charlie. He would look like this if I did not give him a puppy cut.. That just too much hair to maintain. He also wouldn't appreciate the bow.. lol  Isn't it cute?

Oldie but goodies - Thank you

Thursday November 8, 2012 

 

Catch the bug http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/  and being Thursday at Catch the bug it means it's OBG (Oldie but goodies) day..

I chose Sean, he reminds me of my grandsons. The background is washi tape. I am loving this tape. Such an easy way to add colors - I love -love-love how it came out. Really fresh looking and kind of kept his cloths along the same color theme. Did I say I love this card?
