Hearts and Furballs

Hello, Stamplings!

Welcome to the first day of June! I'm not going to waffle on about how that doesn't seem possible. As people more profound than me have often said, "It is what it is." Even when it defies the laws of space and time compendiums. Or something.

So what often happens during the month of June? 

Weddings! 

And what follows weddings, all thing going well? 

Anniversaries!

This card is a deviation from my new course of creating whereby I am trying to use mostly NBUS and make cards inspired by my talented bloggie friends. What happened was, Hammy has been away on his own hols up north when the Mister and I headed south. We had to send him off to his relatives because of the logicalities and rules on the Channel Islands, you understand. 

So anyway, he's missed a few posts and even though I told him how it's going to be, he forgot and started leafing through the challenges looking for ideas, like we used to do. He was very becited to find this photo challenge at Just Us Girls:

because he knew we had all the ingredients to make the cookie heart on the left. BUS items are the Nestabilities heart, the Memory Box flourish die, and the "congratulations" from Your Next Stamp. NBUS items are the YNS "on your anniversary" part of the sediment and the course glitter from Martha which I've had since ages ago. 

I'm also entering this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, which is Anything Goes.

I was also going to enter my card above in the current Less Is More challenge, which is shimmer, but I thought my card might be a bit too-too for LIM, so I made another OLC with a lot more white space. Well, I mean, it's all white, innit, but I mean to say this one has more uncluttered white space.

It looks like I put the first card in the laundry and it shrunk, doesn't it?! 😄

I'd like to say we are all back to normal, but now I've got a very jealous hamster on my hands due to our dog-sitting these two furballs this week:

Two absolute loves! That's Fire, a Chesapeake Bay Retreiver, on the left who owns our niece, Katherine, and Cisco, a Havanese on the right, who owns the Mister's sister. You've seen him here before, but this is the first time we've had the pleasure of Fire. 

Here we are ready to walk! (Sorry it's a little blurry. The pups were holding still, but the Mister was squirmy.)

Okay, I gotta go. Someone is sulking on top of his wheel and needs a little attention!

Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy!  LITS!*
