Party like a Chihuahua!


     Today is my baby girl's birthday.  The big 2-3, which she seems to think is ancient now.  LOL  I was running behind on getting her card made so while she is off gallivanting I got to work on this.  I saw Debra Miller's post this morning about the new 2 Cute Ink challenge.   I have several of the adorable 2CI images and their challenge is a color pallette of red, teal, and brown.  For some reason my browns always look like black in my photos, but I promise it's brown.  In fact it's Bazzill and it's called Mud Pie.  I decided this little guy, called "Party Chihuahua Doggie" was going to grace the front of my card.  Isn't he fun.  I've used the sketch from Mojo Monday.
  Off to finish up an almost completed card for Stamping Bella and then it will be time to clean up and start getting ready for dinner.  She put in her order for steak, which her dad will cook when he gets home, baked potatoes, an Outback Bloomin' Onion, and yeast rolls from Logan's.  LOL  I'll be making the rounds this afternoon picking up bits and pieces, but it does sound yummy.
     Hope you all have a great day!
