I had a few challenges I wanted to do this week so due to lack of time, I was able to combine them. This card was made for the teapot party this week. The cards go to Eula who is celebrating her 109th birthday. Wow, can you imagine being her age and still having a sharp mind like she does. My poor little mind forgets more and more each day. Eula likes to know about the internet and about others lives. What card would better describe something about me than a dog card. Most of you know my hobby seems to be collecting dogs lately. Real ones. This squigglefly image was perfect since the last dog that came to my home to adopt me was a Doxie girl. (my Doxie is black, but with the black sunglasses, the blacks just blended together, I will have to practice on that) The Squigglefly challenge was to use green and blue. I added the lace border to soften it us since I am sending it to Ms. Eula. I also used the Midnight Madness challenge for this week.

Oh, this is too cute. I have to send this as an e-card to my neighbor. She has dachshunds that I pet sit at times.

Awww! What a sweet little critter Shirt-ley! How appropriate for you to make this card! Ha! Those doggies know a good place to hang when they see one! You are like my dad...always coming home with a new dog.....and always told mom that he found it on the side of the road....then later we would hear that he bought it from a buddy! Bad Dad! Snort!
Eula will love this....I love the fun pawprint background and what a cute puppy in sunglasses! Eula will appreciate the lace and she will love to hear about your most recent hobby! Giggle! You go girl....If I were a doggie, I would wanna live with you too!
Good to see you....good job combining challenge as well!
