Sometimes a card can be the easiest way to say, “You are on my mind”. It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List.
For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by World Alzheimer’s Day. Remember, at Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used purple, red, flower, die cut, thinking of you sentiment, ribbon and stitching to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
Colors Of The Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
An embossed Basic White panel makes the perfect backdrop for a colorful collection of floral images and distressed gold die cuts, created with the Nature’s Prints bundle. The Natural Prints dies include a lovely wreath-like circle of leaves, which makes a wonderful accent. While I went with a rich, dark Blackberry Bliss paper, this layout would lend itself to a wide variety of colors and patterns. Plus, the sentiment can easily be switched out. In fact, the Nature’s Prints stamp set includes four sentiments with a fun script that could be used for several different occasions.

Nueve’s Notes
Hey, everyone! It’s me! Nueve! I’ve been having lots of fun playing with my Uncle Q. He’s back home after staying with my friend, Rose, while he went to Oh, BEE-dience class. We played “It’s my tennis ball and my chew and you can’t have them!”
Then we played “It’s my squeaky ball and you can’t have it!”
All that playing made us hungry, so we used our “puppy dog eyes” to ask Mom for food. She gave us banana and popcorn. We both got really drooly, ’cause we’ve got big hangy-down jowls.
After our snack, Mom said we needed quiet time. So, we laid down beside her chair and watched The Great British Baking Show with her. It makes her happy when we do that.
Making Mom happy is just part of my job. I am a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!

Beautiful card. Love the color combination and the way you combined all the different elements. Happy to red the update from Nueve! Hug and am thinking about you.
All those different dies and colors come together beautifully, very pretty card!
I never would have thought to put Real Red with Blackberry Bliss…but your card showed how beautiful can be! What a gorgeous card! Nueve and his Uncle Q are the most handsome boys!
Wow…gorgeous card Ann. Love that colour combination with the pop of red!

Hi Ann!!! Hi Nueve!!! Nueve, you are a good boy . . . you should share!! You know . . . I like your mom a lot . . . even if I do not know her. Be wise!!!
Ann, as always you are such an artist when you put layers and die cuts together. It’s beautiful! Sounds Nueve and “Uncle Q” had some great fun together.
You chose a beautiful mix of colors. Lovely as always. Oh how I remember those hangy-down jowls and all the “drooly”. As always I enjoy hearing from Nueve. Have a great weekend.
That card is really beautiful! I love that dark red. And I love the dogs of course. They are so wonderful, as are your cards. Thinking of you. B : )
