CAS Christmas Card

Hello  my crafty friends, I hope you are all doing well. We got some more snow, but it was a very wet snow, so it made the trees look so pretty and it melted pretty quickly on the roads/driveways/walkways. My kind of snow! Friday I got my first dose of the vaccine for Covid. No side effects except it felt like I had a bruise where they injected me but that went away fairly quickly, by the next day. And I didn't notice it unless I touched that area. So all in all it went very well. I know the vaccine isn't for everyone, especially people who have issues with being allergic to a lot of meds and such. But for me, I don't experience any allergies to meds and such, so it was a no brainer. I think those of us who don't have allergy related issues need to get the vaccine for those who do have allergies. Once we can get herd immunity across the world that should help those who can't get the vaccine because we won't be spreading the virus anymore....at least that is my hope and right now, hope is all we got along with the Lord. 

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.
