Introducing

Lucy. Tri coloured Fox Terrier born 31 October 2008 and too cute for words!

Our Christmas Present

Happened today! We went and looked at a litter of Fox Terrier pups and picked one out for ourselves! I am so excited.

Tomorrow we are off shopping for a bed, toys and puppy biscuits and if all goes well we go straight through to Dommett, near Cheviot from Rangiora and bring her home with us tomorrow.

I will post a picture of her when we get her

Christmas 2008

The tree is up and the Xmas cards are in the mail! Just can't believe how organised I am this year, especially getting my cards posted.
This year I decided to keep my cards simple and used the Cuttlebug.

With this card I used the dots embossing folder and rolled it to about 2/3rds of the way down. The tress were die cut and then embossed.
I love the simple elegance of this card! It is white on white. I used the Xmas tree embossing folder but I only embossed half of the tree enabling me to use the ribbon to embellish and the greeting.

It is really amazing the things you can do with the Cuttlebug and I am so pleased that I bought it last year!
