Don't be SQUARE!!

Hello there, my darlins!! Can you believe . . . it's almost December! Aaack! Where has the year gone? I have to tell ya, I've been listening to Christmas songs in my studio for the past several days . . . getting into the "holiday spirit"!! So . . . in keeping with that theme (holiday), I decided to make another Christmas card for this week's challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog where the actual challenge "theme" is . . .

"Don't be Square"
(That's right . . . NO SQUARE PROJECTS!) 

And here's what I came up with . . .

This little sweetheart is called "Christmas Lhasa Apso" and can be found HERE in Mo Manning's OLD online store. I made this card for my sister, Dee. Her "baby" is a Lhasa Apso named Maggie Mae. So she wanted a card to give to her MIL with "Maggie" on the front!

I thought it would be fun to make a "shaped" easel card . . . they're always fun to receive too!! Here's another angle . . .

My "recipe" . . .
