I just ate more steamed green beans than I'd care to admit.

I was excited to see a sketch this week on jinglebelles and that they were joining up with Sketchy Thursdays. They are my two fav challenge blogs. Here was the sketch.



















Here's my card I made.





























The pp are both BG. The winter wonderland rub on is Cosmo cricket. The snowflake punch is martha stewart. I stamped the tree stamp (tim holtz) on a half a circle of white paper and then colored it with blue and antique dress inks. I painted white acrylic ink on it to make it look snowed on and added a few drops of walnut ink splatters.

I love how this card turned out. Its one of my favs I've made this year so far.



I took the pugs to the vet yesterday. This weekend is our first pug rescue foster event I get to take them to. They are doing wonderfully. The vet check seemed to go good. It was FAR away and poor Daisy is not the best car rider. She makes a loud panting sound the whole way there, while we were there, and all the way home. Poor thing. She's old and very overweight is what the vet said. He said if I get her in shape, she won't do that as much.

Thats what I'm working on now. Walking pugs, feedings being monitored, no Leo food sneaks. (this is the hardest) Leo likes to give them his food.

Hope everyone is having a good week.
