LOVE Your PET BLog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the LOVE YOUR PET Blog Hop!!!

If you came from Gaby, then youre on the right track. If not, start with my sis Abby

If you havent read my previous post about my beloved dog, Pinky... Then you can read my story here....http://scrappykich.blogspot.com/2011/01/bitter-sweet-pet-story.html

Pinky.... I Love you ... 1989- 2004

My sis became inspired to do this blog after that commercial for the ASPCA. My BFF, My niece and I cry every single time we see that commercial. I have to turn the channel because im such a cry baby, (Like my sis) and it reminds me of my precious first pet, Pinky. We had to sadly put her to sleep after she got sick, but she left us with great memories. I created this card in memory of her, and the happiness she brought me for 15 years!

I'm such a crazy animal person. I love all kinds of animals (I could keep all strays if i could!) No person should hurt, maltreat, or abuse a pet because can be a great bud! They are filled with love, and adoration and im so happy that i got to be in this hop! Now, Onto the candy!

**I will be giving one lucky person a collection of Kich N Bleus. Whichever collection you wish. Even the upcoming new collection is up for choice (We haven't even released it) All you have to do is post in all blogs, Just like my sister Abby's rules. That it! So you have two chances on winning candy!

Here is my card/layout. I created Kich N Bleus characters based on Lucy and Ethel when they are washing dishes in the restaurant.

Princess and Pirate

Ok, Im guilty. I haven't been scrapping much lately, and when i do scrap.. I haven't attempted to do a layout. I think its about time i try one... even if its a one sided page. In February, It will be my son and my lil niece's birthday. We are so happy that they have grown into their own little persona... Sadly, (For us moms) They grow up just too darn quick. And.... here comes the theme choices for the birthday parties... :S Toughly... My lil girl loves princesses and well, everything girly! And my boy... (Even though he likes girly things too) Loves pirates. We weren't too sure about what to do... but anyways, with that said... I created a layout just for them... :) And of course, My first attempt in using my all new-Peachy Keen Stamps!! Which i LOVE by the way!!

Something from the heart...

Growing up, I didn't have that closeness with brothers and sisters... Usually, my brothers and sisters were friends, acquaintances, maybe because i was younger. When I turned 23, I got with someone, and also befriended a person who broke us apart. We never spoke to each other, we rarely shared a dinner, or a night's chat... When me and those people stopped talking... Our relationships began to heal. I opened my eyes to see that the people who care about me the most are right in here in my blood... This is why i created this card...

Because since i was little, i have never had the relationship i have with my brother and sisters now. We are friends, BFFs, confidants, and advisers... We are rope pullers, ball jugglers, and tight rope walkers... We can only CHERISH this emotion because if one of them goes away... then you have to keep that tie in the heart...

Abby, Her and I became almost BFFs.. with a touch of sisterhood.. We still tell each other what to do, and we sometimes argue, but eh.. thats sisterhood. It hurt when she moved away... to North Cali. I never thought she would, but all the signs pointed to "Yes" and well, I had to get used to it. By the way, its been 7 months, and i still get caught up saying, "Ima stop by!! Ive got gossip!!" hehehe... I haven't gotten used to it. Scrapbooking has gotten us even closer, and now Kich n Bleus Designs.. I have nothing but MANY THANKS for her. I LOVE HER!!, and i miss her so... A lot. (Im tearing up... gotta stop :) ABby, I wish you were here... but i understand i cant have you a couple of blocks away... but you know i would drive down every weekend if i could! hehehe

Rina, She is more like my gossiper sister. We dont share a lot of qualities together. We just love to sit and chat, or go out for dinner sometimes. I have plenty of awesome memories with my sis... Here's an example, When i was little.. Abby used to be the firm one, the one who took care of me, and set rules for me. Rina, was more like the laid back one... I remember waiting for her when she got home to "help" me with home work. Yes, HELP is the key work because she use to end up doing it... hehehe. Abby would made me do it! hehehe...

Titi, Aww, man.. the fights we used to have. We were the war in the house. We would fight for soo little. My dad used to say, "Watch, when you grow up.. you'll be crying for each other" And you know... I think we have :) I love him so much! I dont think i could ask for another brother, hehehe... Because even though he is sometimes picky (And so am I) We clash.. and fight, and argue.. but when we hang out, its awesome! HE is currently in a norteno band, and when he shows me his stuff... I wanna hug him, and tell him that he is the best, and that he is awesome, and i wish him all the best of luck in all that he does... but im shy.. so i smile, and i tell him That is awesome! (I mean it like 10X more)

So, after giving you a brief story of my brothers... I have made this card in honor of them. I love them, and i dont think i would change them or they would change me.. (Maybe my temper! hehehe....) I hope you like it... and I hope that if you have Sisters or brothers, tell them how much you love them... because when one leaves, when one moves away, or breaks apart... It will much harder to...:) Abby, Titi, and Rina... I LOVE you with all my heart!!

Just for fun, I created this card using a Kich n Bleus Design, my new found love of embossing, and cardstock paper. I used a sticker i found on my box that said "SMILE" which gave me the idea to draw up Kich and Bleus posing... :)

I'm not a lover of Pink color, but i think it came out alright. I needed to use something else than black like i always do :D...
