12 Months of Christmas Link Up

Today begins the new challenge at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up. Our challenge is always anything goes but we also present an optional theme. This month our optional theme is Deck the Paws, feature a dog or cat. Here's my card.

Our sponsor this month is Ike's Art. I've used Puppy Love. To add some Christmas spirit I added a sentiment inside the heart. It's pretty tiny but it says: "Have you been naughty or nice?" Perfect for this guy who looks like he might be on the naughty list. Both of the background papers are from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles. The paw print paper is one of the new papers this month Pawsome Holiday and the blue paper is from Marble Textures 1. I added the Memory Box Holly Leaf Border and instead of using the red berries I used a small heart die from Paper Smooches Paw Prints dies. The hearts were then covered with Dimensional Magic to make them glossy. I am entering these challenges:

• Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round: use pastels
• Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch 
  
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
• Simon Says Wednesday challenge: anything goes
• Crafty Hazelnut Patterned Paper: use patterned paper

I hope you'll join us this month for some Christmas fun. Check out the rest of the design team designs at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up. We had a great time with the twins today. They really got into rolling the croquet balls down the sidewalk and watching them bounce down the stairs. It was a super nice day weather-wise so we took several wagon rides too. I'm sure they are sound asleep by now. Be safe! Make it a super weekend!
