Sketch #481~Holly berry happiness, hippest hippos, color & contour, painted poppies, stampin up

Why I choose the colors I do is something

I will not ever understand.   It just seemed 

like the perfect idea to use that golden yellow.

Then after taking the picture I'm like yikes,

what was I thinking.  Well too late there it is folks. 

I wasn't going to change it.  I am pretending

little Miss. Hippo is protecting herself 

from the sun and not the rain with that 

umbrella.  haha 

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:

Holly Berry Happiness

Hippest Hippos

Color & Contour 

Painted Poppies 

I almost forgot the bow, but at the last second

I went to my old faithful punch that goes with 

the holly berry happiness set.  It's the perfect

little bow to stamp instead of trying to tie one. 

Thought I'd share a few pictures 

of the little guy.  He's doing ok.

His drinking is getting worse,

but he's still getting fluid.  Praise 

the LORD.  

He enjoys having his bed close

by where we are so he can take a nap. 

He also loves his toys still, but he can't 

play with them long because of his jaw

and eye.  So here the little darling is resting

his chops on the window sill, and resting his

little ball next to him.  He's a sweetheart. 

Look at that beautiful moon.  

The other night my husband took a picture 

for me.  He works out in the country and 

it was an awesome sight.  We live next 

to the train yard and with all the lights it doesn't

look nearly as nice.   I tried

to get a picture from our yard but all I got

was the glare of the train yard lights.  So

grateful my sweetheart sent me this 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
