This is my roommate and her sweet puppy Annie. I wanted to do something cool her her like this for Christmas, so I made this into an 8 X 10 so that I could put it in a frame and wrap it up! Isn't she just the cutest pup? ( P.S. The handmade "flower" type things with the brads are the JIGGITY JAM!!!!)

I LOVED this paper! I did some bubble wrap painting underneath all the labels in a gray color. I'd used the bubble wrap previously with black paint and some of the black came off with the gray which was a pleasant surprise! I love when happy mistakes occur like that! This was a really old Dare page that I recently caught up on after seeing Ashley Wren's version of it. I loved her use of labels, so I lifted that part!

I seriously got SO excited when I pulled Monopoly money out of the kit, it was so perfect. Just that DAY I'd completely paid off a credit card and canceled it. I'm working vigorously to pay off what little debt I have, and it's the best feeling ever. So I sat down that day and made this page as my own little celebration to me and my hard work. :) I used good ole Microsoft Paint to cover up a grown up word, hee!!! It's true though, I'm so going to kick debt's *$#. :)

I painstakingly cut the big black swishy circle out of one of the papers in the kit, and it was SO worth my time, I loved the way it came out!

I LOOOOVED the ribbon that came in this kit! I'd recently seen someone do that thing where you pleat the ribbon/paper/fabric and staple it down at the pleats, and it inspired my to swirl the ribbon like this and staple it down. Love!!! Oh and yes, my cat's name is kittty. Unoriginal I know, long story. :)
