Repeat the inking and stamping for the larger tree on the right, then remove the mask.
Stamp the light pole, dog, and cat with Rich Cocoa as shown. Use the pencils to color all the images. Color the tree trunks, light pole, dog, and cat with brown to strengthen their colors. Use paper stumps and blending solution to blend the colors together and reduce the pencil lines. Mat on navy cardstock with 1/16" borders, then glue 1" from the top.
Cut 4 7/8"x1 1/8" Family Ties striped paper. Wrap twill across it near the upper edge and glue the ends to the back. Glue the strip to the front, 3/8" from the top. Tie a 4" twill length onto the center of the first twill.

Place the 1¾"x2" Dazzles™ house on Family Ties red and brown papers and cut along the edges. Glue above the fence at the upper left. Place a Dazzles™ tree on Family Ties green paper, cut out, and glue just right of the house.
Cut out “we may not have it all…” sentiment from the Family Ties sentiments paper and mat on blue cardstock with 1/16" borders. Mat on navy cardstock with 1/8" borders, then foam tape as shown.
