Christmas Thank you Notes

I made this thank you card for a friend, 

and then I made 2 more identical to it for 

Christmas Thank you notes.  

I will submit it to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamps sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Welcoming woods, Beary cute,

Wishing You well.

Well this card was quite the process, after cutting

out the circles, I then wish I had matted them, but used

my blue alcohol marker to dot the edges a bit to make

it look like stitches.  I stamped the wreath and fussy cut it

out.  I die-cut it first but it was a little too neat, and cut off some

of the stamping.  The bow and tree also had to be fussy cut.  

This was a long sentiment that I masked with tape to 

get it to fit in the middle.  I dressed up the tree with the same 

sequin string as that which is below the sentiment.   For as much

work as this card was I am honestly not that impressed with it.

I started thinking how cute snowflakes would have been, or 

even an upside down snowman, but I already cut out the DSP

and I didn't want to waste it.  So there it is.  

We took HP for a little ride today.  He had

his vet appointment on Friday,  there are 

no obstructions in his throat, the bumps

all over him are not causing him pain, we 

can do a 400 dollar blood test to see if he

has a rare swallowing disease, but at this 

point it's autoimmune related and the vet says

to keep doing what we are doing, making his 

homemade dog food, and encouraging water,

he's not losing weight and looks good for 

a 12 year old dog they said,   So we are 

thanking the LORD he is a trooper, and

we are putting in the work to keep him going.

The verse I chose for this card is:

Ephesians  5:20KJV

Giving thanks always for all things unto God 

and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

🕮

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
