Enjoy Today
Hello friends, I want to share a CAS card with you as well as some other sad news; I have been quite sad this week. We had to put our 8 year Boxer, Jesse down this past Wednesday. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with death several times this year. I choose the sentiment, "enjoy today" I have come to know how important it is to enjoy today, we are not guaranteed tomorrow! We found out at the end of January Jesse had cancer, I know you cannot replace animals but for the last 16 years I have had always had a boxer; sometimes two(I totally luv this breed). I contacted a guy at the end of January to enquire if he had any, he said no and I thought no more about it. Jesse kept getting worse and we knew the time had come, we took her Wednesday. I was totally shocked when the guy I contacted in January contacted me Thursday to tell me he had a litter of Boxers and they where born on Wednesday, I knew we had to go look at them. We went today and have decided on one, her name is Lexi and we will be able to bring her home on May 8. We cannot replace sweet Jesse and even in our sadness we look forward to bringing Lexi home!

Distressing Step x Step
Hello Glitz peeps, I am sharing a quick and easy way to distress your cards. I really like the personality it gives a card; the shabby, vintage look that I adore!
I use a tiny scrap piece of paper to distress and layer, if you like adding a little summin, summin this is a great way to do it. It is a easy way to add a splash of color too. I distress the two sides that will be shown, I distressed three sides on this one, wasn't thinking...there is no need to do that.
On the side, I tore a piece a little deeper into the card, luv this look!
Here is the distressing tool I used on this card. I have many ways of distressing I use a file sometimes, a sanding block, and I have been known to use my fingernail too..lol.
Here is the back of the card with the two tiny pieces of scraps glued down. No need to use a whole sheet of paper, use up those scraps!
Here is the final card with the edges distressed and the corner curled down, totally cute!
Supplies Used:
Glitz Designer Paper: Love You Madly
Glitz What Nots: Love You Madly
Glitz Designer Paper: Love You Madly and Uncharted Waters
Glitz What Nots: Love You Madly
Glitz Giant Rhinestones; Love You Madly
Have a wonderful day, be sure to sprinkle it with a little Glitz!

Thanks A Bunch
I have created this for this months Cards For A Cause challenge, it is to use kraft You can read more about that here. This month we are sending cards to Forgotten4Paws and they are in need of thank you cards. They would like cards with dogs and cats, but I do not use a lot of images. Any thank you cards I am sure will be appreciated. I have used a library card, added a sweet strip of designer paper, seam binding and the round sentiment. These are Verve stamps, sets Borderline and Joyful Blooms.
