First Birthday!

Puppy Fritz turns 1 yr old today!  It's been quite the 3 months around here as he's at the stage (hopefully it's just a stage--LOL) where he grabs whatever he can reach & puts it in his mouth. I can't hang my kitchen towels & he can't go in the walk-in closet, even for a minute!  That all means he's under constant surveillance unless he's in his crate--plus I'm trying to give him the needed multiple walks a day, so getting cards finished is quite an accomplishment--LOL.  I had an idea when I saw the challenge for 1 layer cards (card base plus a layer is allowed) at ODBD.  It didn't come out quite like I pictured in my mind, but does have the scallops & glitter that I wanted to use. The background stamp is Vintage Border Background which was stamped in Brilliance Ice Blue, Olive & Purple--close as I could get to the beautiful color combo at ColourQ. 

The scalloped edge is done with a Spellbinder die & I traced the edges with my Quickie Glue Pen to hold the Prisma glitter. "Hope" is one of the words in the Sweet William-Small set.  I had planned to use ribbon & tie a big bow, but couldn't get that to look right, so changed to this pretty trim.  
Since this is for a crafty friend friend going through treatment of a serious illness, I'm entering it at SSS Monday & SSS Wednesday. The white & kraft cardstock were scraps, so I'll also enter at Pixies Snippets Playground. Enjoy your weekend!
