Do You Stack Up Guest Designer


     The first week of July my card of the little guy hugging his choo choo train won a Top Three and Guest Designer Spot at Do You Stack Up Challenge Blog.  As this weeks Guest Designer I was asked to use this doggie image called "Best Friends Forever" from Shelley's Images on a card using black, white, and one other color.  So here's my take on the pup and the color scheme.
     Black and white is always hard for me, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  Do you see all the little doggie paws on the large white mat?  I think they're so cute, but they sure were a pain to get on there.  No Cuttlebug folder here--old fashioned texture plate and a stylus. 


     Thanks so much to Heather and the girls at DYSU for asking me to guest design for this weeks challenge.
Have a wonderful Thursday!
