Snow blast and a doggy card

It's a Winter Wonderland here! We had 6"of snow just last night alone! Here is a pic of the walkway to my front door :-) Those little caps peaking out are my pathway lanterns -one had some protection from our Blue Spruce!!

I was asked to make a couple birthday cards using doggy images and used today's Featured Stamper challenge to get me started. This week is paulatracy (Paula), one of my fellow Elzybelles!! I was thrilled to see her honored today. She has coloring skills that are off the charts! I chose this card to case. You can see that I was a bit distracted with today's snow activities and strayed from the layout a bit, but the inspiration is still there -thanks Paula!


Unfortunately, I don't know the name of this doggy stamp, it is part of an unmounted set that my mom gave me, but it has a matching little kitty that I may have to ink up soon! I used Basic Grey's Urban Prairie DP and paired it with PTI Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist and Vintage Cream all framed with SU Blue Bayou.
