Hi! This card/gift combo was made for today's Featured Stamper Challenge: Benzi. I chose this card to CASE!
I took Christmas photos of Markie this year the first week in December. I went CVS and had 125 copies made to stick in our Christmas cards. Then, last week, the day before we sent out the cards, Markie got contacts. I didn't even think about it, and that evening, while I was addressing the cards, Markie noticed the pile of photos and FREAKED! He did NOT want me sending those out, since he NOW wore contacts! Geesh! I now have 125 super cute photos of Markie in glasses in front of our Christmas tree...Want one????
Yesterday's mail had 7 Christmas cards...One of them, from my husband's favorite aunt, had a small message inside that said, "Gee, I guess I have to go to your blog and print off a photo of my great nephew since I didn't get one in the Christmas card this year." OMGosh....She was offended! So....I had to make another card, just for her, to send one of those "old" photos! LOL
I stamped the image in Memento's Espresso and offstamped 5 times. This was a fast combo! Only 4 layers and off-stamped in one color!

Gorgeous - I never would have guessed that was only one color. That story is funny too! Love the matching present too! Your cards are so beautiful, and I am sure Benzi will love this case!

Sorry about all the photos! (Had it been me, I might have sneaked them in the cards anyway LOL!)
One more time, you have such a gorgeous card. That image is beautiful.
