I used the sketch from Just Us Girls to make a birthday card for my brother-in-law. He recently lost one of his beloved dogs, and after a time of grieving, he ventured back to the shelter to adopt another dog to join his crew.
I used a Reminisce Journal & Quote Card with papers from Cosmo Cricket's Joy Ride Collection. Instead of buttons on the sketch, I used these cute little Dog's Life stamps from Inkadinkado stamped on a scrap of Basic Grey Manila paper. I finished with some flags of peach ribbon.
Ahhhh what a sweet card Stef. Love your colors and the story behind this card. That's beautiful. Thanks for playing along with the JUGS sketch this week!

omg--those little dog stamps are just TOO CUTE and how brilliant to stamp them on the BG graph paper! (which is fast becoming a fave to rival their traditional distressy "solids" imo!!!) ♥
