Lucky me I already had this card made up just hadn't had a chance to post it to the blog yet.. The image is by Cheryl Alger and it's called Bubble Blower. Isn't she cute?

Hey everyone.. It's time for another challenge over at the Squigglefly Blog. This week's challenge is to use "News Print" on your creation. How fun is that? I didn't have any new print laying around but I did find this cute classified ad piece of scrapbook paper. I love the title at the top. The Daily Growl. It goes prefect with my cute image by Cheryl Alger called "A boy and his dog". Hope you'll find some time to join the challenge this week.

Speaking of puppies.. My daughter Emily came home with one this week. She has named her Adicia. Adicia is the Greek goddess of injustice and wrong doing. Both our other dogs are named after greek gods. We have Cupid and Apollo. So she decided to continue on with the theme.

Here they both our after an hard day of work and playing. She can wear you out that's for sure..

But you could put a tag or other cute something behide there too. I have used another fabulously fun Cheryl Alger image called Dancing Debbie. All the rest of the stuff came from my diminishing scrap pile. It's still huge though...

This week's challenge over at the Squigglefly Blog is "Shaped Card with Non-Traditional Colors". So my shape is the cool flower mat I cut out with my QuiKutz Silhouette. I'm always making a round card and I just wanted to try something different, but I didn't know what to do. So I started browsing all the designs in my library and wow there are a ton of cool things in there. I guess I should use it more!!

Yes I'm sorry it's square, but I still wanted to use it. What do you think of my decorated flower? I've been seeing other people doing their flowers like that. I never would have thought to used a border punch that way. Way Cool!! You just flip the punch upside down stick your flower in, you can see where it's going to punch and punch. Easy Peesy... Hope you'll find time to join us this week!!
