I decided to showcase Newton's Holiday Mischief:

To make a card for our neighbors, who owns a pretty grey kitty:

I know you may have seen this card before, but I am still recovering from pretty extensive back surgery so I was only able to share a former of my favorite creations for you.  I  created the door by dry embossing some pieces of kraft cardstock with a woodgrain pattern and then sponging some Crumb Cake ink around the edges to add some additional depth & texture and added a big brad as the doorknob.  Cutting Newton (here Newton is dressed as 'Nigel' kitty, who is grey) out was a bit tricky, but once that was accomplished I hung his wreath from the door using a smaller brad and thought since his tail was curling that would be a cut way to attach the sentiment dangling by some sparkly twine as a sign with the sentiment stamped & punched out with a word window punch.  I hope they will like it!  They don't know I stamp.  A lot of folks find out this about me at Christmas, LOL!  

Hope I have inspired you to get started on (or keep working on) your holiday cards for this holiday season!  Enjoy!
