I used the Christmas Lodge set for the sentiment and Very Vanilla for the heel, toe and cuff.

Things to Remember
This is my Easy Canvas Print. I think they did a great job. I love how you can have the texture of canvas with the clarity of a digital print.
They even wrap the photo around the edge. I love this because it gives a more finished look.
Welcome to the first ever Llama Blog Hop! We are very excited to take you on a tour of Stampin' Up!'s new Idea Book & Catalog as well as the new Holiday Mini! I am stop #9 on your tour. If you arrived here from Buffy's blog then you are right on track. If you hopped here by magic, you will want to start at the beginning.
Here is my first card. I used Old Olive for everything except the vines on bottom and the Very Vanilla Decorative Label Punch. The rhinestones add just the right touch of bling. I used the color spritzer to help break up some of the empty space.
For my second card, I a technique that I have been seeing everywhere and been trying with little success. I made it work for this card. The technique is emboss resist. First you take a piece of white card stock and emboss your image with clear embossing powder. Then you sponge over and around your embossed image so your image shows up and your background is sponged. It took me some time to get the hang of it but now I love it! My color combo is the Dynamic Duo of Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink from the Color Coach.
My final project for the Llama Blog Hop is a hexagon box using the Mini Milk Carton Die. You simple cut two milk cartons out with the Big Shot, cut of one end on each carton and adhere together. Super simple, super fast and oh so cute! My color combo on this one also came from the Color Coach; Marina Mist, Old Olive and Real Red.
I have been making paper bows for awhile but just now got around to posting about them. They are super simple to make and add a great finishing touch to gifts.
Here is a close up of one I made with retired Christmas paper. One bow will only use a 6"x12" piece of paper.
Here is another one. I really like the contrast of the red inside the green.
They were born a week ago tomorrow. Eight little lab mix puppies. Before you ask, NO we are NOT keeping any of them. We have prospective homes for two already and if the others don't find homes by the time they are eight weeks old, the vet said she knows people who want puppies.
