Blogger Challenge: Week 206/Friends with Flair

Happy Friday! I’ve combined my Friends with Flair post with this week’s blogger challenge pets theme and this week’s Mojo Monday sketch for this super sweet puppy card.

I used the cute dog image from Unity’s I Ruff You kit as the focal image. The dog is colored with Copic markers and cut out. I used dimensional dots to attach it to the pink circle panel.

The cardfront is made from a large scalloped circle die cut. I used two different patterned papers to cover most of the scallop edged cardfront. Once they were in place, I attached the image panel and ran a strip of ruffle edged faux suede ribbon across the cardfront. A button is attached to the ruffled strip using some pink baker’s twine. I stamped “ruff u” on a pink strip and slipped the end of the strip underneath the button.

And since this post is all about pets (and I’ve chattered a lot about min this week), I couldn’t end this post without a photo of my adorable Chloe the cutie puppy. She’s almost 17 months old now and weighs in at about 60 pounds. Hopefully, that’s full grown! Quite a change from these photos, right? She’s a fun and feisty one with pretty much boundless energy and curiosity. She definitely keeps me on my toes—when she’s not making me trip over hers!


This photo was taken just a few days ago. For some reason, she was enjoying “sunbathing” in the backyard in the 95+ degree heat.
