Sale-a-bration Preview

Sale-a-bration starts soon (January 22nd) and this is one of the sets that you can get for FREE when you place a $60 order. It is called Feeling Sentimental and makes terrific Man cards! The background of this card is Early Espresso Core'dinations Cardstock embossed with the new Honeycomb Embossing Folder found in the Spring Catalogue and then sanded. I stamped the image on Very Vanilla cardstock with Early Espresso ink, distressed all the edges and lastly sponged Early Espresso around the edges. I don't think my picture turned out very well as this is much nicer IRL!

Spencer's Card

Some of you might have seen the original of this card in my latest newsletter, and read about how I would have to modify it. Well, here is my personalized version of this card, as well as a coaster I made for Spencer's (our bigger dog) Doctor that took care of him throughout the ongoing saga of his broken toe and finally the amputation of said toe. Believe me, caring for big, goofy, Spencer (a.k.a. "Stupid") can be a challenge any time so everyone at the Animal Hospital deserves a big Thanks!

Kidoodles Christmas Card
