Today's Inspiration Challenge takes us over to Stephen Josephs gifts where I found this cute doggie backpack as inspiration: http://www.shopatron.com/products/pr...89.0.0.0?pp=8&
I've been having a ball this past week with Meljen's digi freebies and so turned to them again for this digging dog which I colored with copics and cut out with Nestabilities Ovals. I computer generated the sentiment (British spelling as it's being given over here!) and it just didn't seem complete without a little bone so I drew one and popped it up. Punched out some flowers and leaves, sponged them and added to the corner! This is in honor of our little dog Diesel (I know it seems an odd name to North Americans, but if you sat in the vets office over here, you'd be surprised how often it's called out! There's a men's designer clothing label over here with that name and hey, I have teenage boys!) Anyway, we got our little Diesel from the Rescue Center four year ago and as they say here in Northern Ireland, we all "love him to bits"!!

I love this card to bits! Didn't know that was an Irish phrase....we say it in the US south all the time. This little pup is too cute for words and the coloring is fantastic. and topped off with the perfect sentiment! Awesome iC card.

That sentiment is so much fun, and your picture reminds me of a book we had when we were little called The Diggingest Dog. Goodness, I hadn't thought of it in years, but as soon as I saw your card memories of it came back.

Diesel sounds delightful and your card is a wonderful tribute to him! Cute as can be!
