This challenge was to make a card about your favorite pet as a kid. This card is about me and my childhood dog Hettie (a wonderful border collie spitz). I bought the digital image already colored, so it doesn't look exactly like my dog and I, but it captured the essence of the memory anyhow. I used to ride my bike a lot and Hettie would run alongside me even to the gas station where I would get a whole brown bag full of candy for a dollar while she waited patiently outside the door. Yea, couldn't do that today in most areas probably. But, anyway, I loved my dog who was always up for an adventure with me!
On a crafting note, I love kerry2's cards. She usually has sewing on her cards, lots of lovely layers and nice layouts. Go check out her amazing cards!

Donna, this card is so adorable. I just took a few minutes to scan the SCS gallery and your card jumped out from all the rest. When I saw who's creation it was, I recognized the name of the nice woman who many times leaves nice comments about my cards. When I read your second paragraph below your card image, I thought OMG!!!! You are so sweet......
I am so proud of you for taking the chance and stitching on your card. You did a great job and it just adds a little something special when you do stitch. You put a smile on my face today. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card creation.

So sweet! Love all of your elements and what a special memory. I had a candy/ice cream store that I could buy sweet treats on the cheap, too. Good times.
