Card #48 for 2025

Dearest blog readers,

I hope you will have some time to relax and stamp

this weekend.  

I'm trying to squeeze in the time.  Our puppy hasn't 

been feeling well.  But don't be fooled, he's still all

energy, in fact I shared a few reels on Instagram. 

But nevertheless, it's a worry and stress, when you 

don't know what's wrong with him.  So we finally

got him into the vet.  Booking an appointment is a 

whole ordeal here now.  It is like calling the clinic 

for a human.  The long list of "please listen carefully 

as our menu options have changed" then you finally

press the correct number only to be put on hold. 

So after a pretty penny is spent, which we barely 

scraped together, we are relieved it's ear infections

and not a UTI or kidney issues.  So the little guy 

started his meds and we are hoping it will go well

and a quick recovery.  at 8 months old he now 

weighs 43 pounds.  He's all muscle.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets I used in this card are:

Stampin up:

Trees for sale

gorgeous grunge 

family & friends 

I stamped the splatter red for the background, and then cut my 

dsp strips for the next layer.  After that I stamped, colored and cut

all the images and then began just placing them down, using pop 

dots where needed for extra dimension.  I also added wink of 

stella glitter to the lights above the trees.  I added the sentiment

and gold twine to the top of it by placing it down with glue dots.

I finished it off with 3 little red embellishments.  Do you find them all?

Here is Patriot Pup after coming home from the vet. 

The verse I chose for this card is:

John 1:9NKJV

That[a] was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
