dog therapy card....

A week ago this past Friday, our (almost 14 year old Carin Terrier) had a fatty tumor and 2 cancerous (non spreading) tumors removed...she looked like the dog of "Frankinstein"  with all her staples (if he owned a dog).  It was rough for the few days, she cried and I was up with her all night the first night.  The Vet game us his cell number and told us to call if we needed to know what to do.  She is much better now and we are so thankful.  At first I was planning on making a dog get well card. I bought a bandage collection from Etsy and printed on the white side of some gold to make myself a metal bandage clip to use (show in picture above with real bandage clips.)   But then I remembered this dog from a free download collection 2018 Making Cards Magazine UK.  I have used him and others several times on cards, they are such cute guys!.    So my thought processes for this card was to start with the anything goes over at Critter Crazy Challenges using this weeks Tuesday Morning Sketch.   I added in Tic Tac Toe Challenge using the 3rd vertical line:  embellishment, animal and free, and then decided that was enough...I wanted to keep the card clean and simple.  I remembered the dog bone clips and used them instead of the bandage clip ( I may need this idea in the future for sure)

I have grouped card challenge blogs on pinterest and that makes it easy to clip and see which ones might work together.

It's going to take longer buy I am carding my ribbons on card spools using card clips and hanging them on a hanger in my craft closet (RoyGBIV)   I will post a picture when that is finished.

I appreciate those of you take time to look and to comments whenever you can..It is such a joy to get to know so many of you who are movers and shakers in the cardmaking community.     I would love to have you as a blog follower!          Smiles,  to all Kathy
