Polly is our hostess for this week's MMTPT546 You Must Be Joking Teapot Tuesday challenge - and we are sending our cards to sweet Anne who loves red. So I went for the bonus cookies with a red base and the punchline - which you'll have to check out in the challenge post linked above.
I don't know why I had this dog in my scraps pile, I must have done something wrong when I was making my BIL's birthday card last year - but by cutting a black frame to put inside the square aperture I was able to mask off the torn edges and frame him. Added a sentiment created on my label printer rather than stress over hand-writing neatly, and added to a red embossed base.
For the inside I used a stamp from Unity and a die from Marianne dies, Eline's Collectibles toucan.

luv the fire hydrant! And that dog image. Anne will absolutely love this one. Isn't it wonderful when you can use something all lonely and unloved...the adorable dog framed out is perfect.
Me thinks that is a stowaway canine in the back seat...of course, that is me hanging out the window...

I am glad I checked out the answer! So fun to put together these two images - and great way to salvage what could be a throw away. I need to work on the ones in my stash!
