Fetching Christmas Friendship with Newton's Nook Designs

Hello everyone!  I am getting so excited for Christmas!  It's so near!  Are you all done with your shopping yet?  How about your baking?  I still have lots of that to do.  Just about all of my cards are completed though, including this one featured on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today using the cute lab from 'Fetching Friendship':

I made this one for a friend who has a black lab to match the tag I made for her during the 25 days of Christmas tags hop hosted by Tracey McNeely.  I forget which company made the patterned paper, Echo Park or Doodlebug.  The holly border was created with an EK Success edger punch and I added a Santa hat I purchased from Hobby Lobby and added three rhinestone holly berries and two free hand cut holly leaves to embellish the hat's brim.  I hope my friend likes it.  The 'Happy Howl-i-days' sentiment, which I LOOOOOVE, is from NND's Canine Christmas set, easily my most used sentiment of all.

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year.  Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, your views and comments mean so much to me!

Cheers!
