The Dog Days of Summer

Published by rainy at 3:32 am under Cards, Just Talkin', SCS Challenges, Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenges

It’s time for another Dirty Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. This month the required element is a dog image or sentiment with a summer color scheme. And this polka dot pup also fits in Sharon’s Stamp Simply Challenge #101 - Let’s Polka. Here is my card.

Just a quick post today. My DGD’s are still visiting.

Happy Crafting!
