You Just Gotta Love 'Em!

We're having another Seize the Birthday challenge starting today with a brand new sketch and sponsor!!
Our wonderful sponsor this month is The Alley Way Stamps!  I don't know if you've seen these before, but if not, you must go take a look at her store.  Such fabulous stamps!  And if you're the winner of our challenge you'll receive a fabulous set of stamps - see Seize the Birthday blog for all the details!!!

We need to see your feminine or girly cards this go round so come on over and play along.


I used two different The Alley Way Stamp sets on this card - The Gang for the chihuahua, bowl, and dog house and Monster Mash for the sentiment that I stamped on the dog house.  This is going to be a very special birthday card for my oldest granddaughter.  She's always wanted a chihuahua but has never gotten one.  Since I think her mom would just faint if I bought her one, I think the next best thing would be a card with this cute little pup on it.  You just gotta love those precious chihuahuas.  Too cute!!  Even though you can't tell in the photo here, I even fluffed out this little guys ears - kinda like the real thing!

Now, on to what our sketch looks like...............Another great one to be sure!


Thanks for stopping by............... come on over and play along.

Such a lovely monochromatic card. The chihuahua is sooooo cute. Nice checks and the ears DO look fluffed up. Very elegant ribbon and embossing.
Love,
Monica

Oh, I think this is my favorite sketch so far, and I really love that little pooch. Great card, Lynn! Super choice to use the pastel lavenders and the gingham dp is exactly right for this femmy card. Sorry I missed the last Seize the Birthday challenge for a guy card but I'm a bit under the weather with this nasty flu. :-(

Love your wonderful card and paper piecing the doghouse with pretty matching DP is fantastic idea! Hope your granddaughter has a wonderful birthday!

Oh so sweet Lynn. I love chihuahuas. I have three chihuahua grand dogs. These are darling stamps. Enjoy your weekend. We're bracing for a blizzard 16 - 24+ inches of snow tomorrow. Probably no power for a few days. Talk to you soon.

This is really cute and the next best thing to a real Chihuahua!

What a precious card, and of course the colors are just perfect!! I had 2 chihuahuas and 1 doxie, and they all got along so well! I hope one day your DGD will have a chihuahua too - they're such great companions!

This is such a pretty card and I love the special touch to make it just for her! The only thing that would make this more wonderful was if it was attached to her new puppy!!
