The Gnome Saga

O.K. this is a post for my friends that know my dogs. But don't worry, there is some stamping going on too!

See our next door neighbors Christa and Ramon, just LOVE Annie. And every time we are invited over, we have to bring her along or Christa will pout :-) So of course Annie has come to love her too. Matter of fact, I almost have to put her on a leash when I open my front door so she won't run over to their door every time!

Well the other day Christa had called me and said to come to her door quick... of course I had Annie tag along... what I didn't foresee was that Sam AND Maggie followed. So picture this: She opens the door, Annie runs in and upstairs! Followed by Sam, up he went! Maggie being the oldest and not really close to others... followed anyway, but only into the downstairs entrance... I think she got spooked by Christa, took a shortcut under the stairs and in the process ran over the Garden Gnome... AND beheaded him. YIKES!!!!

Christa just laughed and had no problem with it. (She was even able to glue it back together) But I felt sooooooo soooo bad that I went online and ordered a new but different one for them to replace. The one I picked will be perfect for the entrance:

But back to the main reason of this post! So I got the gnome yesterday and needed to make a card for Maggie to give to Christa :-)

Here it is - notice the top note fabric piece:

Of course the head of this one swivels too:

And the inside:

See Maggie's Signature paw print?  I've inked up her paw with VersaMark and "stamped" the CS, then embossed it with clear EP... Poor Thing, NOT!

Anyway, nothing fancy - just wanted to share!
