This is some envelope art for a friend of mines' Son, who is playing in the Division III basketball college tournaments with Guilford NC. He is a great player, and I wanted to send him a congrats card for the success of the season.....so this is the envelope! Amber said I did it in toooooooo girlie of colors, but they are the colors I love, and so that I just did what flows! :0) I suppose he might have liked blue and gray better------I am hoping he will not get teased! It is painted with layers of acrylic and then some spray paint too, then stamping and then collaged with the image of TC playing ball! I know his family is soooo proud and so am I! :0)

Our sweet Rufio is recovering from surgery! He has been fixed (though he was not broken :) and he had his dew claws removed(they were long and nasty and hooking on things and causing pain for him and us), and his little cone is helping him to leave everything alone. Poor boy! He will get his stitches out next week Friday, and that will be good! ISN'T HE ADORABLE!?We already know the answer! Hehehehe! We are babying him to the best of our ability! <3
