Gali - May 21, 2020

I had to anxiously wait for the arrival of 

49 and Market's newest Vintage Artistry in Lilac!

The title shows the date I photographed my gorgeous & lovable Gali.

The title came to me with this piece in the Ephemera that I was able to slip into my printer and computer print the date the photo was taken
and then place chipboard letters for her name!
I hand cut & inked the edge afterwards.

There are sooooo many goodies with this collection!

You not only get TWO pages of laser cut elements with the paper collection, 
but 49 and Market also offers Ephemera and Washi Tape!

I used something from each of these wonderful extras!

Here are some photos, 
beginning with some of the ephemera & washi tape used:

Check out this gorgeous Butterfly Washi Tape!
Just below it is a laser cut element that I wove seam binding through.

And this definition of Splendid in the ephemera pieces 

is most defintely a description of Miss Gali!

The laser cut butterflies are sure pretty too!

I used many 49 and Market elements, 
including the very cute Pixie Petals Mint colored flowers 
& the Wishing Bubbles in Limeade color.  
I went small because of the predominant clay mould 
that I made and inked.

Here are close up photos of it:

I'm very proud of Miss Gali and pleased with her new layout!

This will soon be hanging in the craft area on her Gali Wall!

Thanks for viewing and continue being safe!

Pets Memorial - Pepper

The last, but not least, of my beloved pets 

is now framed, decorated & making the 

Pets Memorial wall hanging look divine!

This is Pepper. 

The last little dog I owned. 
This photo of Pepper giving me 'love eyes' was taken 1/20/2017. 

Pepper's photo is in a 4 x 6 frame that I've spray painted in "Satin Silver Lilac". 

Her name plate is made with air dry clay using Prima's IOD Mould "Labels 1".

It's heat embossed with Fran-táge color "Aged Ivory". 

The Dusty Attic letters are inked with ColorBox Pigment Ink "Raisin".

Since Pepper's frame is located at the top of the wall hanging,

there was plenty of room to place a taller chipboard on top of the frame.

I chose this majestic ornate piece by The Dusty Attic.

Heat embossing it with Lindy's Gang color "Spring Leaf Chartreuse"

really made a beautiful background for the gorgeous red flowers 

from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Dusty Attic black word tag "Cutie" looked great with Pepper's colors.

The Dusty Attic Dog Paw Prints chipboard adds even more cuteness!

They are simply colored in ColorBox pigment ink "Raisin". 

On the opposite side of the frame from the paw prints, 

I placed a Recollections chipboard word "Love".

This piece is colored in ColorBox ink "Raisin".

This is the updated Pets Memorial wall hanging

with Pepper now decorated & hung in place!

This is Pepper's story:

Pepper was a mix of Jack Russell & Rat (Manchester) Terrier. 

Such a smart little dog!

She was a birthday gift to my Dad when he was 78;

given to him by his only Granddaughter, my daughter. 

It was summertime and very hot, 

so the breeder had the puppies in a box with baby bottles
 filled with frozen water to keep them cool.

Dad chose Pepper because she was the only puppy smart enough 
to sprawl across the bottle to get cool relief - LOLOL!

Dad named her and ironically she ended up with tiny black specks of hair on her back that looked like black pepper was sprinkled all over her. HA!

My parents had Pepper for 7 years when my father passed away and my mother was mostly wheelchair bound & unable to care for Pepper.  

So, Joe & I took her into our home and gave her a wonderful life filled with love.

She had many nicknames, of course, 

including P-Baby; Peppers-roni; Pep Pep; P; and Old Haggity.

💖

Pepper lived with us for almost 6 years. 

I had to put her to sleep during an intense episode 

with her life long condition of HGE. 

I didn't want her to suffer. 

She was just 6 days shy of her 13th birthday. 

Thanks for coming by and have a great week!
