Our CCEE January hostess, Liz Williams, has given us a fun and easy challenge to end the month. She has asked that the CCEE Stampers show off our favorite technique in cardmaking. Maybe it is embossing, fancy folds, paper piecing, multilayered stamping, paper piercing, collage, etc.
Well, I have decided to showcase my two favorite techniques on the same card. I am sure everyone knows by now that I love using multi layered stamps, and I also love putting together slice-of-life scenes.
What you may not know is that in early December I had to put down my sweet puppy of 13 years. Now I am battling daily the urge to go out and add a dog or two to my household. I really, really want to, but with new responsibilities and more travel on my horizon I just can't allow myself to give in to this desire.
So the next best thing for me has been to add more dog stamps to my collection. The stamps I have used on this card are Dachshund, Lab, and Pug by Gina Marie Designs. The sentiment is a part of the Lab set. The trees are from Lovely as a Tree by Stampin' Up. I think they are adorable, don't you?
I am headed over to see what techniques the rest of the CCEE Design Team love and have shared today. Won't you join me?
Sigh ...... those pups! I could stare at your card all day - the dachshound looks so lifelike! I see we thought a like this week- dogs! Love your little house scene - so sweet!

Oh, this is one of the best ever, although you have so many beautiful scenes you have created and you are a master at it. There is just something so adorable about those dogs. Love your knack at putting old stamps and new stamps together, just like a interior designer can just put things together, you can do it with those stamps. You are such an amazing and talented sister. So lucky to have you in my life.
