This is a belated Christmas card for a dear *doggie friend* who has a 4 month old golden retriever puppy, a wild and mischievous boy, (who all but totally wrecked her C'mas tree!) so how perfect is this? She's gonna crack up when she gets it!
It's for 2 challenges, today's Sketch Challenge, 262, and yesterday's Color Challenge, 252, Certainly Celery, Taken with Teal, & Handsome Hunter. I started out to make a Clean and Simple card, but it turned to be anything but- it took me most of the day to put it together! The dog and sentiment were cut out of a cocktail napkin with a big, clumsy pair of scissors (all I had)- talk about tedious! and decoupaged with glitter Mod Podge. The sentiment reads, *My name is "Get Away From The Christmas Tree" What's yours?* The dog bone Christmas tree is a Magenta stamp. The big snowflake is a Basic Grey Holiday Chipboard, stamped in Brilliance Moonlight White, and, of course, glittered!
I'm just so tickled with how this came out. I hope you like it, too!
Thanks for looking, and wishing Everyone a happy, healthy, and creative New Year!
Hugggs!
Maddy

Awwww! How clever are you! Great idea using things around the house Maddy. No one would ever guess how you made this. The look on the dog is priceless! And what a fun bone tree! Love the step punch, the ribbon, and snowflake. TFS!! Hugs

How cute! We had a dog named that, years ago. He forgot, once when we were at church! What a mess,
Your friend will crack up with so many clever details. Great napkin cutting, and I really like the lattice like corners. TFS (I think we can also relate to taking all day to put together a card LOL!)
May your new year bring much happiness and many blessings.

Yikes, I happen to know all about golden puppies alright! Being on my 3rd, I have lots of stories that I can now laugh at. Your card is a hoot, girl. Yup, she'll love this one when she sees it. Oh, those corners are wonderful and the napkins is just over the top. I cant tell you how great it is to see you in the gallery. Waahoo!
