Merry Christmas!



Merry Christmas!

The big day is only a few days away!  I have to say time got away from me again.  I'm happy that I had most things in order, but did get behind in my baking.  I may do a little this afternoon.  For the above card,  the cardinal die is from SSS and the embossing folder is from Spellbinder's.  This card is for my mother-in-law.

Unfortunately, all last week we had to take care of our dog.  It happened so suddenly for the poor little thing.  We were to the vet every day this past week.  Our sweet Sheila's cancer came back and it was in her lung.  She developed pulmonary hypertension.  She also had Cushing's disease.  We tried everything and by the end of the week her kidneys were failing.  There was nothing more to do for her.  She was one strong sassy little thing.  But, she could also be so loving.  She was my snuggle buddy.  She will be dearly missed!

I have two more cards to share...




I was making tags and thought I'd make a card with the cute images.  The stamps are from Pretty Pink Posh and the sentiment is a wood block stamp from Stampabilities.  I still love some of my old stamps from long ago.  


Next up...




I made this card using a stamp set from MFT.  A simple card, but with a wonderful sentiment!


That's all for now.  We need to scoot to the grocery store for food that we need for Christmas dinner.  It will be fairly simple this year since we are making a ham.  I hope you all have a very blessed Christmas and a happy healthy new year!

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today, take care!

Hugs!

  4. Oh no--I'm so sorry you lost Sheila! I know she left a big hole in your hearts, but it's so worth having our furbabies no matter how long. Wonderful cards, as always, Maria! I adore the first one--just my style!
