My buddy my pal

Riley and Tucker are such adorable brothers. At family functions, they get to play together. (Most of you already know, but in case you don't....I'll tell you that they are littermates/true brothers and were born Sept 5, 2008. Julie my niece had Tucker and we adopted Riley after falling in love with Tucker. It is neat that two littermates are in our family.) On this day, I had Julie hold them side by side for size/look comparisions. Tucker will always be smaller as he was the smallest of the litter and is more petite overall. I finally made a page Saturday about this day. I know I didn't journal their weights, etc. but the pictures say it all anyway. It is funny how Riley is more caramel and Tucker had maintained his black and tan look. *click picture for a closer look*

I had a sheet of vellum sayings about dogs. I cut out the ones I wanted and adhered them to Kraft cardstock. For the title block, I cut out watercolor paper using my SU! Top Note die. The edges are inked with Chestnut Roan ink. I added the vellum title and sewed on a button using linen thread. It is attached to the page using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped bones on a strip of Kraft cardstock, added more vellum words and some more buttons. I accented the blue color of the striped paper by added a punched circle under these buttons. I used SU! Baja Breeze cardstock. I love that color! I inked the torn edges of the polka-dot paper using Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream ink. Love that hybrid ink! Thanks to Connie for the Baja Breeze cardstock and letting me use her Xyron for perfect adhesive on the vellum pieces!

The four Zaney Girlz scrapped together at Connie's Saturday from about 10am until about 3am Sunday!!!!! We were nuts! We each got a lot done and had a BLAST! We each brought different foods, enjoyed contagious never-ending laughter and created more memories. We have the BEST time together. What is so wonderful is that our friendship is about love, fun and laughter. The bonus is that we are family. :) The pic above is of the donut cake my mom brought. It is a gigantic glazed donut slathered with the most luscious icing ever! It is from our hometown Hawkins bakery. No other bakery can top this white icing! Yum!

Thanks for stopping by! I am still trying to recover today (bellyache from eating too much good food and exhaustion from staying up 22 hours!!!!), but a Zaney time is always worth it! Does this mean I have a scrappin' hangover? LOL!!!!!!!!
