This card is for my youngest son and his wife. They have two cats and just got a dog too. So I thought this card would be appropriate for them. I used two stamp sets from My Favorite Things; one was a Christmas set and the other wasn't. The dog is from Happy Pawlidays and the cats are from Furever Friends. To make the cats look more Christmasy I tried extending some lines as Beccy did for Day 6 in her inspiration card. It's not perfect so don't look too close. So I added the lights and star to the cats from the Happy Pawlidays set. I also used the coordinating dies for those sets. The cuties are colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I used a white gel pen for some accents. The dog's hat and jingle bell are covered with Crystal Stickles. The candy cane paper is from American Craft. I am entering these challenges:

I looked close Donna, and I'm super impressed with what you did. Good on you for extending your everyday stamps to make them into something festive! I love the story behind the dog and two cats and I'm sure your son and daughter-in-law are going to love this personalised greeting. Fabulous!
