This is for Carla's Ways to Use It challenge to honor "Hug an Australian Day". I decided to hug Sue aka sue28, who is a fellow SCS card maker who lives in Australia. I've always liked her cards and found this cute one to case:
I changed the image from a cat to a dog; both have a "gift" in their mouth and sentiments for you or just for you. I liked how Sue rounded her corners; I die-cut my panels. I used polka-dot paper like Sue, but did change the colors. I moved the ribbon up and used only one rhinestone. I moved the sentiment banner down. I have learned if I'm making one card, why not make two or three. Thanks Sue for inspiring me to use this stamp set for just the second time and to make some encouragement cards I need to mail out.
Thanks for looking. Hugs to all our Australian friends!

What a sweet encouragement card and a wonderful way to send Sue a hug. Love the pup and those wonderful polka dots.

Adorable CASE of Sue's card, Diane! That little pup is so cute and I love the color combo. Thanks for hugging an Australia and playing in my challenge.

Your cards are so pretty, Diane, with the cantaloupe spotted dp and blue framing around the very sweet puppy image! Love how you have placed the ribbon & sentiment- thank you for the cyber hugs & casing one of my cards!

Those are sweet! I just bought that set recently and haven't had time yet to use it, but between this and your parrot and pup card you are making my fingers itchy.
