Love Your Pet Blog Hop

Hello! Hope you're having fun hopping along and seeing all the cute pet projects! You should have arrived here from Emma, but if you didn't, head back HERE to the start of the hop. For my first card I used this fun kitty stamp from PinkCat Studio. She is a little crafty diva kitty! ;) She looks like my Jinxy-Cedrika!

The sentiment is from the All Star Baby set by Emma. See, works for FURRY BABIES too! And this next card has a fun story! My Mom and Daddy have 2 Yorkies...one is named Spike and the girl is Sugar. So when I was in Michaels a while back and saw this cute sticker I about died when I read the little tag hanging from her collar...is says SUGAR!!! SO SO SO SO SO Cute!!! I had to have it!

She had a baby pink bow, but I replaced it with an orange one.

The "I woof you" sentiment is from the Furry Friends set from PinkByDesign.

Next stop on the hop is GLORA...but first.....

The idea for this hop sprang from those heart wrenching ASPCA commercials on tv. Abby, our hop leader, was inspired to research the ASPCA and found out that every year they have their Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month in April and encourage people to Go Orange For Animals. Hence the color schemes you have been seeing. I personally give to the ASPCA and even my checks and return address labels help with the cause. :) If you would like to learn how you can help protect animals from abuse and ensure that they are properly loved...please visit the ASPCA'S WEBSITE to learn more.  

♥ Nikki ♥

Here are some pictures of my furry babies Simba and Jinxy...and my favorite backyard friends! I LOVE my backyard friends too!





You talkin' to me??? :)
and here is a digi page I did of the Painted Buntings that come to visit in the Spring

  29. Love your pet layout and thanks for supporting ASPCA. I have been a very active donor and supporter for many years and all of my pets have come from there. Nice to see how my two passions - pets and scrapbooking - come together. Now on to the other blogs (and winning some candy could be a nice bonus)

  67. Thank you for having this hop. I think I've found a group of ladies who are as in love with fur babies as I am. I lost my14 year old German Sheppard Buddy 6 weeks ago from Cancer and think about him everyday. I have 7 other babies and they are all strays. They are so grateful and love unconditionally. God bless you. I will visit your site often. Lisa Ritchie
