Hello little guy!
Paper Smooches has put up their new SPARKS challenge.
Check out this awesome inspiration:
Eeek, how FUN is this photo for the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge. I totally wish that was me driving that VW bus. I basically used the photo as a sketch with the tall center tree panel and the circle at the bottom.
There is a story to go along with this card. My cousin lost her sweet greyhound in September. She misses him greatly and has struggled with when to bring in a new puppy into her home. Well, soon she will get her new little guy. Yay. Spiro arrives the week of Thanksgiving and I can’t wait to celebrate his arrival. He will be LOVED from nose to tail. He is a little corgie and I tried to color the pup to match Spiro.
Can you tell it is a dog collar and a dog tag? That is my hope anyway. I so adore this little puppy. He will be used lots.

*Sniff* what a story behind this. Love that little dog, and his ‘fleas navidad’ sentiment…makes me laugh every time. Your sister will definitely be cherishing this card, and that sweet little puppy. Perfect time for him to arrive, too 🙂
By the way, huge CONGRATS for your Trigger Target, again so well-deserved 🙂

We have a VW Bus (a boys toy that allows me to craft)… but have never driven it through a tree that looks like that!
I love your take on the inspiration, the tall card is perfect and how cute is that pooch! How exciting, a new puppy, they are going to have some fun!!!

EEEEEK!!!!!!! I loved this card as soon as as I saw the preview photo…then to read that it for a a NEW CORGI!! (WITH PUPPY BREATH, PERHAPS?!?!?!?!!?) Totally get the collar and dog tag layout, which I will totally be stealing.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry, this card just deserved some extra exclamation points. 🙂
(ps-from experience, it is never too early to get another dog after losing one. I hope your cousin just has buckets of fun with Spiro!)

I like that puppy, too! And that he can be used year-round, even though he’s part of a holiday set. And I love your card! Great use of the inspiration pic — I like that you went tall, like the tree in the photo! 😛
Brandi
Cute! I can’t wait to see pics of the little guy. You must post some! Nothing brings a smile to a face like a puppy! I totally get the collar look of the card. Great job!

I LOVE this! This set is on my wish list, you’ve done a great job with it too, especially the way you’ve done the little dog’s patches! My friend lent me the set but can you believe this one was missing from the set and she doesn’t know where he is! I wanted to borrow it just for him!! What a lovely idea for your cousin’s card too, really fun!
