Forever Friends Bear

When I saw these adorable little bear stamps on Tammi's blog a little while ago, I fell in love. But, they're not sold in the US, I only saw them in UK stores :-( I just couldn't bring myself to start collecting yet another line of wood mounted stamps, especially from overseas, so I asked her to do an image swap.

I got lots of adorable bears (and some other extras) so here's the first one I colored up real quick. The layout was inspired by an older Mojo Monday sketch, I love the scalloped bottom of the card front. It actually doesn't look too much like a Christmas card, but it is! That adorable Jolly by Golly paper from Cosmo Cricket, love the pink snowman pattern! I also used the new Justrite Christmas stamps, it's so easy to make an embellishment/sentiment all in one.

Well that's all for now, have a great day all!

Stamps: Forever Friends, Justrite

Puppy Pictures!

As promised, some pictures of our new puppy, Ollie, as well as our big puppy- Pepper. They're both from the same breeder, one litter apart. The little guy is already showing signs of being very different from his big sister, LOL. He gets into a lot more trouble, is a crybaby, but does better with the house training.

Look at that face, doesn't he just look like trouble!?! I suspect we're in for a handful with Ollie, we got very lucky with Pepper, she is very laid back and sweet, just a dream dog.

Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see.

See you all tomorrow with a card post!
