Dash -Holland Lop

Some play time under the ornamental plum tree

It's very rainy in Calgary today, but thought I would share some favorite May photos.  If you are in the market for a new bike check out Pure Cycle in Calgary.  If you love bunnies and would like a new family member, check out the Calgary Humane Society website.  Dash is a wonderful bunny that I adopted, or rather he adopted me in 2011.  He was seized along with his partner Dot because of neglect.  At first it seemed Dot may not make it but she did.  They came to live with us until Dot became ill  and died last October.  Initially Dash was very sad but has bounced back to his happy self.

I made this wedding money holder from paper I had in my stash.  I created the rosette from vintage sheet music and then embossed the edges with pewter embossing powder.  I added the Thickers letters and grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.

Baby Card

The base of this card is made from Tim Holtz card stock, layered with Graphic 45 printed paper, Prima flowers and a Basic Grey button.  I also used Martha Stewart Punches for the edge and butterflies
