Woof-Woof

Happy Thursday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. We have just had a couple of sunny, warm fall days and a few more expected. Love the warm days and cool nights of fall.

I am still battling this cold that came with me from California. I didn't have much energy today. Even creating 2 cards was somewhat taxing.  I know I should just be resting but I had some cards that I wanted to make. Priorities you know!!!

This one I made for the Wednesday sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers. It's also for the inspiration challenge that Taylor hosts for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps on Splitcoaststampers.

This is the layout we were to use for our cards.  It was a great layout to work into a card. I thought it would work well with the sweet puppy image I was using.

I chose my colors based on this inspiration photo that Taylor provided. I focused on the colors in the photo as well as the scallops.

For my card I used the Sweet 'n Sassy set "woof you".
I just love this cute little puppy.

I stamped him with memento tuxedo black ink and colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.

I paper pieced his bandana with Stampin-Up's designer paper the "parisian breeze" collection. It's also the designer paper I used on my card.

I added a sentiment from the same Sweet 'n Sassy set and some paw buttons from my stash to complete my card.

Well that's it for me for today. So until next time.......God bless

Some other challenges:
1.  The Southern Girls challenge blog has a slugs and snails and puppy do tails. We are to create a card for the man or boys in our lives.
2.  Creative Belli has a paper piecing challenge. I didn't get to make a design sample because I was called to California. So I am entering now.
