I was slinking through the Thrift Shop the other day to see what kind of treasures I could find and in a cardboard box with all kinds of stuff in it sat this PSX stamp of a dog for 25 cents! What a "find" this was! Love the little dog. It looks like a lab but guess it could be just about any kind (almost) of dog you wanted it to be.....not a dachshund though! LOL! The dog print ribbon is some I haven't used in close to forever - along with that snippet of DP. The bone brad was given to me so long ago and am finally using that too. The dark brown background was embossed using a SU Texturz plate - that gives a very subtle imprint.
My {Pin}spirational Challenge post is coming up in a minute - and says a little about Fall!

Love this,a gorgeous image and layout.xxx
Wow! This looks just like my DD's lab. And I love the bone and paw print. Could I get you to stamp a couple of those dogs on scraps and send them to me?
Oh lucky you to find the sweet stamp! Love your card and all the puppy dog embellishments!
i love the phrase, "slinking through the thrift shop" i think that sums up the attitude of the hardened and habitual thrifter PERFECTLY-- we are both abashed and unrepentant at the same time!!! :) i also love that you found this FAB stamp for .25cents and used it brilliant in this adorable card--thus totally validating ANY amount of slinkage!!! ♥♥♥
That is quite a score at the thrift shop, very cute stamp. Great card, too. Love the ribbon/bow and the sweet little milkbone accent.
Love this all done in neutrals, Lynn. Great stamp find! Those kinds of serendipity moments make my day. :-D
What a find, huh? Not quite an Antiques Roadhouse treasure but still a treasure. I love it when I find good deals like that. Fab layout and that ribbon & brad are perfect.
Sweet card, Lynn! I am pulling out a little PSX poodle to create a sympathy card for a friend today.
Aw, I'm envious of your find. Never find those wonderful items in my thrift shops or yard sales! This is a wonderful stamp. It does look like my black lab, and I so like the way you've combined that super ribbon and the bone die with the image. So lovely!
Love how everything coordinates on this card - so perfectly planned out!
Oh this dog looks way too much like my Louie! Very sweet card! You are so talented!

LuckEE you, to find a PSX for 25cents. A REAL find, and this doggy is so cute. Love your layout, and I have some of these brads (Spare Parts? H/L?) I have a DD who loves dogs, so I look for doggy things. She'd love this card, as do I. Great combo of all the elements. TFS
