First of all, thank you for this wonderful sketch challenge...complete with dimensions for all pieces! What a time saver! This was an awesome design with two options...I went for the square card. I say card, but I actually am going to use this as a wall hanging in my craft room! This is a little something to pay tribute to my little crafting buddy! He is my constant shadow, staying up with me til all hours of the night. He is almost 8 years old now and getting a little grey but that is just fine....adds a little character, in my opinion! I found this stamp a couple of years ago and just had to have it because it was a perfect replica of my boy! I used masculine feeling papers but added a little handcut flower for his "mama". Really had alot of fun with this and now I can't wait to go find a little shadowbox frame to put this in! So here is my little guy....Baxter!

Love this cute card and your little heartbeat at your feet. That will look awesome in a frame. I am a dog lover for sure. I only have 4 dogs of my own, a foster dog and 2 grand-dogs that are here for a few days. I have got to say it is very trying. You have a wonderful gallery.
