Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are having a great day! I always have a Norman Rockwell picture in my head of what Thanksgiving should be. Friends and family all getting together, helping out and making the meal (no matter what it is) a wonderful experience. Somehow my "ideal" dinner and the one I usually wind up with are two very different things. There is so much time spent in preparing this meal - getting the house ready and making sure everything is just right. Just the thought of all the dishes and pans that will need to get washed at the end of the day just makes my hands ache! If any of my family is reading this.. you've been put on notice - everybody better behave or the dishes are YOURS! LOL! If only right?
I saw that pampered pooch on the big pillow in front of the elegant Christmas tree and thought I would try to replicate the scene. This one is going to go to Moriko's breeder - I promised to send her regular updates on how our girl is doing and have happy news to report. Moriko has been a very good girl this year and we are so happy with her in our lives.
I added lots of silver details on my card including a silver die cut tree topped with a silver star, silver sequins, and some Platinum Shimmer Twinery Twine.
To recreate the doily in the sketch I used a fancy border die cut and layered it over a solid scallop die cut. I mixed different patterns of paper for the background to jazz it up a little.
Have a great Thanksgiving... and if it doesn't work out? There's always next year.
