IT'S FRIDAY ~ and I have a special treat for you today! My sweet friend Wendy & her fun little puppy Gilby are hosting a Dog Walk {blog hop} with lots of fabulous puppy treats {blog candy prizes} to celebrate her new and improved blog. Wendy has lots of friends & their furry pals joining in today. Here are some pictures of my sweet furry pals ~ Jazmine (our Golden) and Peco (our little terrier shelter rescue ~ btw, she came with the silly name).
So the theme of the day is MAKEOVER ~ since Wendy's blog has had a face lift. For my "makeover" project, I used an image from the Zenspirations line by Gourmet Rubber Stamps. The first time I made the image for this card, I colored the vases but I didn't think it packed enough PUNCH! So I decided to use some of this pretty pattern paper from My Minds Eye and paper piece them. I also added some gems to the flowers and that really stepped up the card. It's amazing how just a few little details can make a difference.
I pulled double duty on my card today {gotta love that}~ and this is also the very first installment of the Weekly Recipe sketch challenge for Gourmet Rubber Stamps.
Before...
After...
You can find a list of all the players on the Dog Walk {blog hop} below and over on Wendy's new blog ~ you won't want to miss out because there are some FABULOUS puppy treats {blog candy} by some amazing sponsors ~ a special thanks to the sponsors for all the fun treats!
