For Katlyn's Crazy Color challenge. I used a mix of stamps to create my sweet puppy love scene. Once upon a time, I was scared of Pit Bulls. Then one day, a sweet little baby puppy was found wandering around and brought to my home. I wasn't going to keep her because of her breed. I had small children, a cat, and another dog. I was worried. But I fell in love. Deeply in love. It was impossible to deny. So, I became determined to prove that SHE was not the stereotypical "viscous dog." Today, she is 7 years old and I am a true advocate of Pit Bulls. I tell everyone that meets her the truth about her, "she is the best dog I have ever had." Honestly, it feels beneath her to call her a dog. She has so much emotion and personality. She is like having another child. Two years ago we took in another Pit Bull. His situation wasn't good and he was on his way to a kill shelter. He had been abused and was injured and ill from malnourished. With lots of love and devotion he has also become a fantastic little boy and I am so glad I was able to make a difference in his life and that he now knows LOVE.

Wow! You have colored this image beautifully. I love the shading on the dogs and the flowers look amazing...and I can't help but notice the sparkly bird in flight in the soft pink sky. Wonderful job on this.

I LOVE this card. So detailed and full of emotion. Loved your story. I am a firm believer in it's all in how they are raised. Saw your pictures on the thread. I just want to sit in the grass and love all over 'em. LOL

This card you will keep, I can tell, in honor of your pit bulls. I have had two rescue dogs myself. This is a wonderful card, and I can feel the love coming through in your coloring.
