Christmas cards for Pets

Christmas  Card time is here once again.   I have several made already but not near enough so today
I've been creating.    I made two new types of cards today for my grandkids pets.   I couldn't resist buying a stack of Christmas paper dedicated to dogs and cats.    I'm sure I'll have pictures of all the animals over the holidays to use some of it but decide to start using it today and make a couple of
fun cards.  I'm sure the grandkids will get a kick out of them and so will the animals.  LOL

Merry "Woofmas" for my granddaughter with 3 dogs and Santa "Paws" is coming to town for
my grandson and granddaughter who also have 3 dogs.  But my granddaughter also loves cats so have both on this one.

So I am going to enter these cards at  "SOUL SCRAPPERS"  they have a  12 days of Christmas Cards challenge going on now and one of the prompt was to make a Humorous or Funny
Christmas card  and these two sure qualify for that.   Not your traditional cards at all.

"SOUL SCRAPPERS"  Challenge CofC#7 due by Dec. 17th.

Cut the chaos out of you Christmas and get ahead on your christmas card making this year!!!

Welcome to my next challenge for '12 cards of Christmas'

'To Make a Funny or humorous Christmas card'

Trick or Treat Time

Our daughters family in Orlando always does a big themed family costumes for Halloween.
I used Halloween paper for the background but since nothing else in the pictures seemed "scary"
I went with different floral papers in the colors that were in their costumes and decorated golf cart
for the neighborhood party.

This is my last entry as Guest Designer at  "LASTING MEMORIES"   this month.

This weeks prompt is to use Floral Patterned Paper and I have that covered with 4 different designs.

It's been a great month of prompts and I've loved my time as a Guest Designer.

Together at the Game

Over the last couple of months I've been working on layouts for a travel album for my daughter.
Since we lost my Mom in 2005.   There have been several vacations and road trips we have taken my Dad on.   They have always included my brother and my daughter (before she got married) and my husband on all but one trip.     My family is by far my best friend(s),    This layout was about one
week long road trip we took from Missouri with stops in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The baseball tickets were a surprise for my Dad.   A baseball fan since he was a kid.

Since I'm in the group picture in our seats, that people in front of us volunteered to take for us
I will be entering this layout at  "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"  Challenge #71 - It's All
About Friends.

A Glittery Christmas card

I used the 2nd sketch for the month #158 at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  for this card, it was fun
to make, totally different than any card I have made before.

Plus with the snowman and tree embellishment on my card I want to enter this card also at
"CRAZY HAZELNUTS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE"

Challenge 464:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: use some glitter

Christmas Card

Slowly getting some Christmas cards made.    I turned to  "SKETCH N SCRAP"   to find a sketch
and their first card sketch #157 was perfect to work with.

I used a couple of patterned papers from a 6x6 stack and inked the edges and the edge of the card with green ink.   Then I colored in the gift box on my sentiment stamp and matted it with green
card stock with some red ink on it.   Viola I have a completed card.

Cheers

I'm entering this layout at  "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"   the theme this month is Friends.
In all honesty my very very best friends I have always had is my family.    Besides just time together visiting at each others houses.   We LOVE taking trips together, abroad and road trips in the states.
The pictures in this picture is when my daughter was studying at Oxford and my husband, my Dad, my brother and my nephew all went together to London to visit her and spend about 8 days traveling, we had a couple nights in London, a couple in Oxford and then 3 nights in Amsterdam and we also
rented a car one day and went to Stonehenge.    No matter where we are or what we are doing we
are having fun.

I had scrapped all these trips for albums for myself but the last month I've been putting together an album of our trips for my album and featuring mostly pictures where she is in them.  I'm the one
lower left in the selfie with her and then top right in the middle between her and my hubby.

Here is the link to the November challenge at  "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"

You can interpret the theme any way you like, but  please remember to include a photo with YOU (and your friends!!) on your page!

Turkey Card

I used my stash on this card for my Granddaughter.    I used a piece of scrap paper,  the scalloped edge is the reverse side of the brown polka dot background paper.    I have had this  felt turkey in
my stash for years and I thought it was perfect to use for this card because it would feel good for
my Elle to be able to touch and feel the turkey.
