Happy Year of the Dog!

Here is a little new years puppy for you to download and copy in honor of the Chinese year of the dog. For my card, I printed on red cardstock and resized the two smaller images. Enjoy!

It's Neat to Repeat!

Here's a neat puzzle card to start the new year off. All four sides of the card inside and out are decorated. Enjoy!


Materials:

 5" x 5" folded card (1)

4 1/4 x 4 1/4" frames in the same color as the folded card (4)

4" x 4" colorful text weight papers (4) In this sample I found free download fireworks images from the internet.

2" x 4" cardstock panel in the same color as the folded card (1)

3" x 1 1/2" colorful text weight paper panel matching the other images (1)
