I Heart Dogs over at the ATG Challenge @ All Dressed Up Stamps

July 15th is the start of a New Challenge over at All Dressed Up Stamps!  It's always Anything Goes, as long as you use an ADU stamp and Wendy Burns, our artist in residence, has a Slew of them in her shop here.
The image I chose to use for this challenge is called I Heart Dogs.  I'm ok with cats BUT I'm really a dog lover.  We have boxers and love the big dogs, which is funny since back in the "early" days, we raised AKC Shelties.
I realize this card is rather busy but I liked all the papers I had on hand for doggies, that I ended up using most of it!  I put a paw print paper across the top to break up all the main print-but I don't think I helped at all.  This image comes with a banner and 3 dogs so I used the dog with a Ribbon Award on it's neck on the front.  I also finish the inside of my cards.  For this I used a barn-wood paper and fancy cut the dog house, mini banner and other 2 dogs from the main paper and created a little scene.
I'm sending this to a dear friend, only she has 4 dogs and NONE of them resemble any that I colored!  She will still love it and You will too if you choose to use it.
Our Challenges are so much fun and we'd love to see your creations!  You have until August 14th to get your entry in so that you have an opportunity to win some All Dressed Up Images!!!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Eiiihhh Chihuahua! It's Anything Goes at 2 CuteInk!

 What a sassy image I have to work with this week at 2 CuteInk--she's called Chihuahua Doodle.  I knew right away that I wanted to use this great dog print paper from the Paper Studio called Multi Colored Dog Paws.  The brown Bazzil textured paper was perfect for a frame with pop dots .  That way I could have her "popping" out of it for attention.  Being the Diva that she is, I gave her a double row Bling collar and used some natural twill ribbon with paw prints on it as an accent.  The front verse is from my computer and makes this card perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, thinking of you, friendship cards.
I Used the paper again on the inside with a stamped friendship verse. We have challenges 2x a month and are always posting on FB so check us out.  The 2 CuteInk Store at Etsy is packed full of adorable images and would look great on your cards!  See you at the Challenges!
