Sketch 475~Santa's Sleight, Holly Jolly Wishes, Stampin Up

I had that, I'm so excited it's June & summer feeling

so what better time to start a few Christmas cards.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Santa's Sleigh & Holly Jolly Wishes

I used a stencil and sponge to create the background.

I only messed it up like a trillion times.  As you can

see I used one of my mistakes on the inside of the card.

On the top, you can see the stripes didn't line up.  I think

it works ok for the inside, plus I like that you can see 

the background a little bit.  

I went a bit crazy stamping and coloring 

all the little pieces,  I just have to be thankful I 

didn't put a Christmas wreath around "Rudolph's" Neck.  

Perhaps that would have been too much.   wink. 

This was my last big piece of sparkle paper.  I 

will have to add that to my wish list.  But it works

so nicely with this card.  

Well HP had his vet visit.  It went 

well.  We are staying off the prednisone,

The vet was amazing over 50 years of 

practice, and he says he sees new things 

all the time.  Most likely just as I assumed

it was that awful Covid that got me,

is the same virus that attacked his immune system.

The vet thinks the worse is done, so that

is a blessing, but his loss muscle behind

his eye won't come back, and so we will

have to use eye drops daily for him to keep

the eye clean and we also have an antibiotic should

it become infected, since there is pocket now that

his eye is sunken in.   Such a little trooper.  

You know I wish I would have shared Hunter's jouney

from the start.  But I didn't have an IPHONE  until two years

ago.  My kids always said he should have his own page. 

Any ways, I bring this up to say I've been trying to make 

reels, or posts now on instagram of him.  And Wowza,

the response is amazing.  People love their animals.  

Cracks me up, because my cards are nothing grand,

but soon as I put an HP picture out there.  I'm blessed

with responses.  It's so fun to see.  I love sharing our

sweet pupper's cute ways with the world. 

I made this delicious chocolate malt last night

and thought I'd share the ingredients in the picture.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.  

And also,  for my dog, HP.

I'd love to have you follow me on instagram at:

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
