It may be Fall elsewhere....

....but when the thermometer is reading 97 degrees it still feels like summer here. I made a couple of cards yesterday that I'm hoping are season-less but they are looking pretty summery.

For this first one, I was inspired by a card I saw in the new Paper Crafts magazine, using some fabric tape, washi tape and tissue tape. I've still got the Jar of Sunshine stamp set by Unity out on the desk so it got used along with another great Stampendous Bible verse stamp. I found the polka dot paper tape at Target.

This card has a sentiment from Jar of Sunshine and uses some paper from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6x6 pad. Lawn Trimmings twine from the Vivid triple pack is the finishing touch.

So it's been tag team doggy vet visits around here lately. Anybody know of a dog and pony show that needs a couple dogs? I'm buried in vet bills and they need to start earning their keep.

Digby is doing much better after his month of weekly Lime baths, he stinks of rotten eggs but all his skin issues have been fixed. He is taking thyroid meds for the rest of his life but they are working so it's worth it.
He's at the vet today for a good smelling bath!! I can't wait.

Tia on the other hand just couldn't let Digs have all the attention. We came home Saturday evening from a lovely BBQ at Mike and Kelly's to find Tia burning up with fever. We took her to the emergency vet at 2 am when we couldn't get her temp to come down. After telling us her temp was 104.7 they did absolutely nothing and sent us home. By 9:00 am Sunday morning I had her at our vet where they began IV fluids and antibiotics. That evening she was sent home to rest with a normal temp. I took her back Monday for an ultrasound of her belly and to have 2 teeth pulled. She got a full dental cleaning and a mani-pedi while she was there. She will be on meds for her liver at least for the next year. She was so cute wandering around the house trying to shake off the anesthesia and now she's almost back to her sassy self. I love my vet, but I've been spending way too much time there lately.

So, how's your week shaping up?
