present & this year she went overboard at Archivers, so I have lots of new goodies to play with. Decided to enter Retro Sketches challenge for the first time.
Took awhile for me to figure out what to do for Merry Monday this week. Finally last night I decided to use this cute Hero Arts Reindeer that was in a variety set I won in a drawing last Fall & hadn't opened. The star & sentiment were included.
I missed this challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, but the drawing was on my table. I used my favorite MME holiday pad for the sweater & all my layers. Finally used a jingle bell on a card--yah! Every year I want to & it never worked until now.
Stickles add some sparkle to his antlers & sweater. I used snippets, so will also enter this at Pixies Snippets Playground.We had a great Valentines Day as we saw the puppies again & boy have they grown in 2 weeks! We won't pick our boy until we go to take him home. They're soft & cuddly & have started wagging their tails. Momma was a little concerned at first, but guess she decided we were OK & she even laid her head down for a nap. Oh how I love a Schnauzer face!
Snow is gone so I won't have hubby to chauffeur me to work this weekend. Hope you're safe & warm. I'll be visiting your blogs soon. 
I love both cards Greta, but I understand where you come from.

Happy Birthday, Greta! Hope you had a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOH, what a SWEET photo of you with the adorable puppy!
I love both cards. The pretty colors on the first one just pop against the white. And the second card is darling with the bell. Well done!
Hi Greta! Super reindeer card (and I love the other one too)! The addition of the jingle bell for Rudolph is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely puppy you have in your arms - sweet photos!

ReplyDeleteAwww belated birthday wishes Greta, how did I miss that!!??!! Your cards are fabulous (as always!) I just love the cute little reindeer in his cozy sweater!!

Can't wait to see your new baby and learn his name!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Greta, the cards are great as always, but it is the delightful smile that warms my heart with you holding the puppy, I can imagine you are impatient to have one in your home all to yourself.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday! The gifts from Archivers sound wonderful; excited to see how you bring the new goodies to life! Both cards here are wonderful! The Thank You is a delightful take on the retro sketch, while your second is charming Christmas fun! I have that reindeer stamp - made a whole slew of cards using it - for my day's "poetry" - two Christmases ago, so it didn't come out this year. Seeing yours is a good reminder to give it some play time! Your schnauzer puppy photos...LOVE ! Oh, the excitement is ramping up for the new arrival!! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteMommy and the puppies are too too cute for words, Greta! The cards are fantastic. I need to emboss more. Your work is beautiful. Love them both!
