Fa La La Llama

Hello crafty friends and merry Christmas! I hope you are all having a wonderful day! We are enjoying spending lots of time with both of our families. Anyway, today's post is dedicated to the memory of our 2 sweet llamas, Dalai and Wendy, who were tragically killed by a mountain lion 2 weeks ago. They were such sweethearts and we are deeply saddened by their deaths. This card was inspired by our sweet girls -- may they find peace and God's eternal love in Heaven.

Well, I decided to stay in denial about Christmas coming soon, so I took a break from Christmas cards to work with my favorite subject.... doggies! This entire A2 size card is made from Basic Grey's "Max & Whiskers" card kit. This is such a fun kit and there are so many elements to play with!







Thank you so much for visiting me today & have a fantastic weekend!
