I enjoyed making this fun fold birthday card for someone special! The pup with the balloons tied to her tail has a red bow, so this is Maya, our oldest dog who always wears a red collar and leash. The pup leaving the paw prints in her wake, is Molly, our youngest dog, who always wears a purple collar and leash. The pups wear different colors because they look so much alike. It’s the only way people at Assisted Living and Memory Care could tell them apart.
It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0117 is World Alzheimer’s Day which is September 21st. We’ve had Alzheimer’s or Dementia affect our family. It seems most people have. Before Covid began, my two youngest kids and I would visit the Assisted Living and Memory Care facilities every other week with our the Therapy Pups. Many of the Memory Care patients don’t talk much, but would open up to us and tell us about their childhood dogs. We loved hearing their stories and being a bright spot in their day.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used purple, red, heat embossing, die cut, and balloon.

Joanne James- off this week
Last week we had a huge hail storm. Unfortunately we need a new roof and a lot of our flowers and plants were destroyed. You can see from our patio box of lawn furniture cushions how big the hail was by the huge holes it created. We actually still had piles of hail two days later.

WOW to the hail! That must have been a huge clean-up job. Glad you were all safe inside! As to your card. I have one word. ADORABLE! Your little gambolling doggies are just too cute! Love it

Love the fold and what a cute card! I cannot believe that hail! Wow! BTW did the pig arrive? LOL
Aww, such cute little dogs, love the fun fold!
Adorable, Beth! You can’t beat your fun fold cards, especially if they have dogs on them! Have a wonderful weekend!
Adorable card Beth!
Very cute card. I will have to make note of the color of their collars for the future. We didn’t get any hail here. Didn’t you recently get a new roof, oh my! The card is definitely fun and festive! The purple is perfect for Alzheimer’s which is very much a factor on my mother’s side. I am hoping and praying it skips me.
