This is one of my favorites that I made this year. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set from Newton's Nook....it was the first time using it. I am entering this card in the <a href="https://www.inkypawschallenge.com/2022/12/inky-paws-challenge-188.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Newton's Nook Inky Paws Color Challenge</span></b></a>. The challenge was to use kraft, teal, silver and white and I think it worked out perfectly with this card. I love that glittery silver paper....perfect paired with snowmen. Here is the card pictured with the gift card holder. It is formy 21 year old grandson so you know I had to use a funny sentiment on the gift card holder about getting a lump of coal. Seriously he is a great guy and I am super proud of him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRK4fXZXKSX3ma-HGg0OeLMPiipCB0IKTW_w-xyCFEGXktO1wd_7blIm2VfcH1h0-wtJ6kNbUh9YRBaqQuSI1JOHnZnqUDedEGPenVp_nkws2nX-tmfp39IuA5L_ieXA17RGbLNVm87wJtbH2vLpvE4B3XwmPa8h-BhexxJtQeyjkXPOdU9hgCv1loRQ/s2840/Newton'%20nook%20jacob%20card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2173" data-original-width="2840" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRK4fXZXKSX3ma-HGg0OeLMPiipCB0IKTW_w-xyCFEGXktO1wd_7blIm2VfcH1h0-wtJ6kNbUh9YRBaqQuSI1JOHnZnqUDedEGPenVp_nkws2nX-tmfp39IuA5L_ieXA17RGbLNVm87wJtbH2vLpvE4B3XwmPa8h-BhexxJtQeyjkXPOdU9hgCv1loRQ/s320/Newton'%20nook%20jacob%20card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af;">Well that is it for now....thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>~~Sandi~~</b></span></div><b><br /></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><br />Sandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02979068075770253601noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227694012835217091.post-79960338545337122872022-12-08T10:25:00.000-05:002022-12-08T10:25:17.239-05:00Merry Christmas Sweetheart<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnmbkB070Y-hJqi40yWzT13jFvhcMQdCumM---wBq_8VC2cZfINOlQRqX3t66LHgQQnSTlTBNBrEJXDQ5u4zCksELiKYWWaAxbGU5nhTY4xO6dpBbqGYPwWFnfx9zQpgtbL1mfeePS23YBxWqLGyKf7VYfpQRGyjTkUYLDols7gs67Bc-AGov3vb7hfg/s3126/Eliza's%20card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3126" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnmbkB070Y-hJqi40yWzT13jFvhcMQdCumM---wBq_8VC2cZfINOlQRqX3t66LHgQQnSTlTBNBrEJXDQ5u4zCksELiKYWWaAxbGU5nhTY4xO6dpBbqGYPwWFnfx9zQpgtbL1mfeePS23YBxWqLGyKf7VYfpQRGyjTkUYLDols7gs67Bc-AGov3vb7hfg/s320/Eliza's%20card.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNH5oPvOksneRFI9kNNfOo7eRfkHHDQaqIlfe1ipYostyIKTvGsNgGWTPCO6btKkBj2Nrb0PPnwCTC05CALYo274Q6hChOaV52Cf-_csdrkCnmT36CYT1OddkLXm4V68RLMuWMEKY4xgxeN8UnO-Zu8rTZjUJAXXbyTatghVGH0DaZA5UGKXjpX3yqHw/s1350/Adam%20and%20Eliza's%20engagement.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNH5oPvOksneRFI9kNNfOo7eRfkHHDQaqIlfe1ipYostyIKTvGsNgGWTPCO6btKkBj2Nrb0PPnwCTC05CALYo274Q6hChOaV52Cf-_csdrkCnmT36CYT1OddkLXm4V68RLMuWMEKY4xgxeN8UnO-Zu8rTZjUJAXXbyTatghVGH0DaZA5UGKXjpX3yqHw/s320/Adam%20and%20Eliza's%20engagement.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666;">My younger son just got engaged on Thanksgiving.

This is the last card I have to make until June and this one is for my sister who is a real animal lover. Me, not so much. I mean it's not that I don't like animals, I just didn't want any living with me. But nearly 3 years ago my hubby talked me into getting a French Bulldog puppy since I was retired and I became smitten. Our Daphne is the light of our life and keeps me company all day.
