Created this Doghouse Shaped Card for
my daughter. Our dog, Teddy, misses my
daughter and vice versa. My daughter is
a sophomore in college studying Art Animation.
Saw there were a couple Pet & Shaped
challenges as well that I could enter this in.
Created the Doghouse shape, dog & bone images
using the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.
Had found some new to me Kraft paper at Hobby
Lobby last wk and used the new dark brown Kraft
cardstock with the regular light brown Kraft cardstock.
Stamped a Hello sentiment on bone image.
Cut a bone from Bow-wow ribbon to place on the card.
Teddy posing with card. Today it is sunny but windy
and the card kept falling over but Teddy was patient
and I was holding the treats he got afterwards.
