Double D December 2023 - Christmas Animals!

OH, what fun is THIS mood board from Double D's December challenge:  Christmas Animals...

I'd give anything to have a sled-riding chicken in my stash, and
that goat living in my back yard!!

Something tells me those Double D ladies will be just fine with my 
decorating Hedgehog!


I'm very happy to FINALLY call this HoneyBee Heart Hugs set my own!  I even used it for my MIL's birthday card... I love that they will hold anything, including those hearts in the set!


I'd better get to work on the inside sentiment and get that little Hedgehog in the Double D gallery!

Thanks so much for spending a few of your spare moments with me!

How amazing to have little paws to hold things, so cute. Love the snowflakes on the white background on the first card and the blue/grey background on the second xx

Well, both these cards are gosh darn cute and just the kind I love! You kept them relatively simple and clean, but did not compromise on the fun and happy. So good, Michele! I'm glad you were able to play with us at Double D!

How sweet are they and look at their cutie little paws! Two delightful cards, Michele and look at you using blue!

Both of these are adorable, Michele! I can't decide which to like better!

Both cards are absolutely adorably CUTE! Who wouldn't love a little hedgie bearing gifts or to help decorate!! We have a resident fox here we see every so often, we figure he must have a den in our woods! Kudos to you having your Christmas cards done, I just started mine yesterday!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D!

OH MY GOSH....how do you find these adorable dies? I guess I need to shop some more! That little hedgie is the cutest this ever. And Mr Fox is pretty stylish too!

Jeanne said...

Okay, how CAN they hold anything with those teensy tiny paws?? Thru the magic of cardmaking. These are absolutely adorable!

Both cards are so cute, Michele! I love that you had the hedgehog and the fox hold winter greenery instead of accompanied balloons or hearts. The embossed texture and die-cut snowflakes in the background are beautiful, and the details (shading, texture) of the critters are fantastic!
