Peace and Joy to You and Yours! What a great holiday sentiment! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s Tic-Tac-Toe week at The Paper Players! Sweet Claire has a fun board for us. There are so many great choices.
I went with the diagonal which included embossing, die cut, plaid, when creating my holiday card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
A bold sentiment is embraced by a bold ornament on today’s card. In order to make the sentiment “fit”, I cut the ornament in half horizontally. The sentiment was embossed in order to add a subtle shine. To heat emboss in color, I simply inked the sentiment in Versamark and then inked it up with Lost Lagoon ink before stamping onto Basic White cardstock. I followed this up with a liberal sprinkling of clear embossing powder and used the heat tool. Using this procedure, you can heat emboss using any one of Stampin’ Up!’s glorious colors. Of course, I absolutely had to embellish the ornament with a gazillion clear rhinestones. As my husband was telling me, the picture does not do this card justice!

Nueve’s Corner
Hey, everybody! It’s me, Nueve! I got to play show dog again last weekend in “ill of noise”. Uncle Q came with me, but he didn’t get to play in the show ring. He just came to keep me company. I won and Michelle and I had our picture taken with straw and cornstalks. There was a little doll Michelle called a “scary crow”. He held my ribbon. I don’t know why she called it a scary crow. It wasn’t a crow at all. I thought it looked like a toy. I wanted to play with it, but Michelle wouldn’t let me. I pouted.
Mom and I also had our picture taken with the cornstalks. Dad was taking the picture. He doesn’t do good like Mom. He didn’t get our feet in most of them, so Mom just cut the picture off at the bottom.
When we got home, Uncle Q was tired, so we laid down and snuggled. Uncle Q gets tired easy ’cause he’s getting old. He’s got silver hairs on his face. Mom said that some day I would get silver hairs, too.
Mom made my Tricker Treat costume. I don’t know how to do tricks, but I LOVE treats. I am dressing up like a Saint Bernard. They have to wear pants on their front legs when they are at the dog show ’cause they have leaky mouths. They get their front legs all wet if they don’t wear pants. They also wear bibs, but Mom didn’t make me a bib.
She made me a fancy tie instead. She glued diamonds on it to make it all sparkly. I thanked Mom for making it for me.
Mom didn’t feel very good in this picture. She got shot twice at the people vet. But she wanted me to try on my new tie. It’s super pretty.
Well, I got to go. Mom still isn’t feeling the best, and I need to go snuggle with her. Keeping my mom warm when she’s got the shivers is just one of the many things I do. I’m a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!

This is one fabulous card Ann – I love all of the sparkle and the ornament really does frame the bold sentiment beautifully. Loving Nueve’s sparkly tie too!
Ann, I love that you decided to showcase this fabulous sentiment for your card. The ornament adds texture and interest behind your sentiment and the scalloped edge a touch of softness. Fabulous card, my friend

Even if you aren’t feeling well, your creativity is not diminished, Ann! The bling is wonderful. Nueve is a good nurse, isn’t he?
Oooh, you had me at Lost Lagoon, shimmer and bling! Just gorgeous! I love that technique of embossing…everything about this card is special. And of course, the pups are special too! I did not know that about St Bernards having to wear pants and bibs while showing to keep them dry…who knew?! Amazing facts I am always learning from your blog, LOL!
Ann, Your card is beautiful. I love all the bling. It makes a terrific holiday card
Very pretty card.
Loved the story, hope your mom is feeling better. My mom had a good Laugh on “Your Leggings and Tie”. The expressions on your face says it all. “Priceless”
Loved the tie that your mom made.
How old is handsome Mr. Q?
Bling, bling, bling!
An Outstanding Beautiful card
Nueve; you are so handsome with that fancy tie. Congratulations on your win.
Thanks for sharing your lovely photos. I enjoy seeing them all that you post. Had cold front move in so had to turn on the furnace to take the chill off. As of now; it’s 40deg. Got in the mid 40’s for a high yesterday. Still raining off and on since Wed evening. Light rain at the moment.
Thus far, received over 12 inches.

I wished I had your talent! Nueve, I never get tired of reading your adventures. It is true what Mom says . . . humans and dogs get gray hair; but it looks good. Congratulations!!!!
Wow! That card is so unexpected, so unusual, so unique. I just love it! And all the pictures from the doggy world too – so sweet. I thought St. Bernards wore little barrels under their leaky mouths??? Did the shots make you sick? Sure hope you get better soon! Thanks for sharing.
