Be Merry and Bright

Good morning, dear friends. Hope you had a smashing week-end. We had a relatively quiet one. Church, lunch and long walk with dogs was basically it. Was nice not to be rushing about doing stuff. Some quiet time, a bit too quiet, perhaps. Not all bad since I managed to make this Christmas card to hold a gift card for a dog-lover.

I've rotated the sketch by Retro Sketches #28 and for inspiration I looked at Moving Along with the Times "Christmas Gifts", Winter Wonderland "Christmas Pets" and Perfect Sentiments "All Creatures Great and Small".

Here it is:

Papermania patterned papers seemed perfect for this project (check out the alliteration!) 

Pop dots make all the difference!

Close-up of the scotties in action. So sweet!

On the inside I made a simple pocket to hold a gift card. 

Here's a close-up of the sentiment by WMS stamped in Memento Rhubarb Stalk.

Supplies:

Papers: Papermania "Festive Frolics"by Stephanie Dyment

Stamp: Adam Pescott "Scottie Dog"; Waltzing Mouse Stamps "Seasons of Lov Tags"

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Rhubarb Stalk

SN pens: Scotties - IG1, IG2; Wood - EB, EB5, GB10; Red coat - DR5, DR3, DR1; Greens: JG6, JG4, DG3, DG2 

That's all from me today.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back later with my Mojo card. Hope to see you soon. In the meantime, have peaceful Monday. I just want to leave you with a photo of my dearly departed pumpkin:

Xiara - always in our hearts.

Beijinhos!
