Happy Sunday, friends!
This week, Laurie is our awesome host for the monthly Color Challenge.
As soon as I saw these colors, two ideas popped into my head: flowers or pets! Pretty random, right? As we just picked up our new foster puppy Cassie yesterday, pets ended up winning out. I’ve added a photo of her a little further down this post. She is ADORABLE and thank goodness she’s already adopted because we are already in love with her. She’ll be headed to Chicago at the end of the month!
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
The Playful Pets Designer Series Paper was just recently retired and the one thing I’m really going to miss is that you could cut out the dog and cat images right from the paper, which is what I did here. You could just as easily stamp and color the little pup, too. I also popped a little heart trinket on the dog’s collar from the retired Pets Trinkets. Even if you don’t have the paper or the trinkets, it’s pretty easy to find an alternative out there. I just had so much of the paper left, I really wanted to use it for this challenge.

Finally a peek inside the card! I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the recently retired Many Mates stamp set. I also stamped a few of the little hearts from the Pampered Pets stamp set and colored them in with Stampin’ Blends. Super cute and it keeps the party going from the front of the card!

As promised, here is a photo of our new foster pup, Cassie. She’s a Schnauzer mix about 10-12 months old and 15 pounds. She has a very outgoing and playful personality. Within the first hour of getting here, she was already settled in. We are so happy to have here here for a few weeks before she heads to her forever home in Chicago. Her new family can’t WAIT to meet her!
