Furry Friend

This is for the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp - Furry Friends. The image is from Skipping Stones Design, Dogs Volume 1. I wish I had more of the Dream Street Papers (Superstition-Sleepy Hollow), but it's from my hoarded stash, don't even know how long I've had it!

Sending you smiles-PDCC and OWH

Ok, this is the first card I made for this challenge at The Play Date Cafe Challenge 97.  Sorry for the lengthy post...I went a little crazy with the Black and White with a splash of red!

The door image is from Scroll Works and the wreath is from Skipping Stones Design.
The sketch for the first card was also inspired by Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Birthday Bash Challenge-Day 2.  For those of you who are not familiar with OWH, it is an organization dedicated to making homemade cards and shipping them to service men and women so they can send them home to their loved ones.



And this card reminded me of the cupcake tower in the inspiration photo.

And I couldn't resist using the black and white for the shaggy dog and the fire hydrant for the splash of red!

So tell me, which is your favorite?

Milkbone underwear...

"It's a dog eat dog world...and I'm wearing milkbone underwear".  I made this card for a guy at work who's had some tough times recently...he'll appreciate the humor!

The inspiration came from Embellish-Patterned Paper Challenge:

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday 200 - quite the milestone!

Dude

 

I think this Skipping Stones Design set is just adorable, and I love pairing it with the book page I found in a discarded Almanac...did you see the reference to Dog Days?  Anyhow this was submitted for a challenge to make a Boy Card and was based on the SSD 82 sketch from a of couple weeks ago.

Dude-Happy Birthday
