This card is for this weeks Crafty Creations Challenge, where the theme is chocolate....in whatever way we want...so I have made this card in chocolate colours!!!! YUMBLY!!! It is also fo the CCEEC which is featuring 'imamuttnut' as the challenge hostess for this month - so you guessed it - a dog on the card is requred to play for that one!
Don't you just love this dog...great big cuddy, slobbery thing that he is....I got this image in a RAK from the lovely Dawn (aka flowergal36) I chalked him and added Dimensional Magic to his big wet nose and tongue (I figured that thing just had to be wet and dripping) with a touch of Kindy Glitz to the drool coming off him - those of us with dogs know that this image is closer to the truth than we like to admit! LOL!. I paper pierced the edges and sponged, then layered it on Argyle embossed CS. I made my own DP with those little paws ALL over it and added the sentiment...I have to add at this point that I am often card making LONG after everyone has gone to bed - so I had to write the sentiment by hand as the printer is in our room....I didn't want to 'blow my cover' and let DH know EXACTLY what time I was still up and cardmaking!! LOL!! For a final touch I added the paw print....
Personally, I love this sentiment, it is so true...thank you for looking and for your encouraing comments - there is more chatter on my blog! http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

Such an adorable card LL! Bubba says he loves it too! Ironically, I am typing very quietly so my DH won't know how late I'm up! Unfortunately I can't write nice like you and Peggy so I have to wait until morning to pound an eyelet or print something!
I love that saying too. Have you ever heard Mary Chapin Carpenter's song? I can't remember the name but there are lines like: Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!

Oh he is such a cute pooch! Love the colors. And that is one of my favorite sayings, but I often say hope your the dog and not the hydrant. Thanks for playing with CCC this week. Jaime
