I decided to play in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge for this month to help build my stash. The theme for this month is dogs or cats. Well, I am a dog lover for sure. Not to say I don't like cats, but not as much as a dog. So I went with a dog. Pretty simple card, so not much to tell you. I just stamped my images (dog and Santa hat on watercolor snippet paper and home, trees and Santa/reindeer on a snippet of white) cut out with a rectangular die to the size I was looking for, and popped my doggy up on a pop dot on his bottom and glued the top of his head to my scene because of the layers. I thought this turned out pretty cute and am pleased for once! lol So I made three of them to add to my stash. Edited to add: I am going to play at the Snippet's Playground in memory of Ruby.

I['m so glad you got your first vaccine and it went well. This pup is so adorable and the scene so pretty. I love his shiny eyes and sparkly Santa hat.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, your little dog is so cute! With his sparkly little stocking cap, he's sure to make some folks very happy at Christmas! Adorable, and perfectly CAS!

AW! Brenda this is the cutest pup, love how you coloured him and the scene in the background is just perfect for him, with the red layer I LOVE this card and it's sparkle. The fact you made 3 is wonderful and good start to the Christmas season :) Good to hear that all is well with you after the jab. Good to hear too that your snow isn't the heavyweight kind, at least you can get around (if you can) in the kind you have.

Lovely card Brenda :) We're still on the wait to get the vaccine here, we are on our Drs. list and my place of work is trying to get it available for us at work as a group if we want it and man I sure do want it so does Dave :)
ReplyDeleteOh Brenda, My lovely friend. What a cute card and how lovely of you to come back and play with us in the Snippets playground! Your pooch looks so much like a cross between Ruby and Dudley! Really sweet card.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the newspaper article about the 'breeders' who Ruby was rescued from. I didn't add all the details in my blog post but they were prosecuted, banned from having dogs for a number of years and I think one even went to jail - which is pretty serious stuff, sadly, for animal cruelty here in the UK. It seems that Ruby and her siblings (puppies) were sheltering underneath a propped up doorway as their only protection from the elements.
It would be super for you to donate a prize for Ruby's Challenge - you don't need to post it though. A photo and some details would be great just in case the winner is based in the USA. Then you could save on postage!

That pup is adorable Brenda and love the texture you added to him with your coloring. Great use of stamps for your backdrop too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little pooch on your card and I love all the stickles too! He looks adorable in front of Santa flying in the sky! Too cute! I'm so glad you had no reaction to the vaccine and I hope you continue feeling well after the 2nd one too. Stay healthy and warm - more snow is on the way for us tomorrow AND Thursday and we just had a lot of it yesterday like you did! Heavy wet snow that melted quickly with bitter cold temps today! Brrrr!
ReplyDeleteOh, what an adorable little pup, Brenda! Love his sparkly Santa hat! Glad you had a pretty snow and it went away fast!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I like the idea of the dog popped out like that.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I like the dog popped out like that.

That is such a cute pup, Brenda and he looks quite at home sitting in front of the pretty village scene you created. Love his sparkly Santa hat too. I'm glad you had no adverse effects from the vaccine. I had my first dose yesterday and I'm fine too. I do agree about having the vaccine if you can - so important for the wellbeing of everyone.
ReplyDeleteStay well and have a good weekend.
Hugs

Love the glittery Santa hat on your cute pup - as well as your pretty silhouette Christmas scene behind him! thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas!xx
ReplyDeleteAwww what a lovely Christmas card Brenda and your cute puppy with his sparkly hat is adorable! Ruby got one a few years back for Christmas, think it stayed on her head maybe a total of 3 seconds ;)
ReplyDeleteWell duffer here lost first comment so so will try again... love the wee pup peeking out there, the glitter just makes it extra cute.. love that you’re playing in memory of Ruby too ...looks a little like her.
ReplyDeleteWell done on first jab, I get reactions so praying whether get it especially as not bad here in Oz. Will see who things go as they roll out. Know of two folks one with not really great Pfizer reaction and one a very bad reaction to Astrazenegar.
Thanks for Sharing, God bless and keep you safe, and all those you love, hugs Shaz in Oz.x
