Time for a New Challenge-Our First for July

   Hi everyone.  It is Tuesday so that means it's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. Thank you everyone who joined our In The Garden challenge. I enjoyed all the different takes on the theme. You can't go wrong with flowers and garden critters.

    This time our new challenge is ANIMALS, and one of my favorite critters are dogs, so I made a journal page with this Stamperia  dog image that I absolutely love.


   I used various papers (including the pet Graphic 45 paper) to layer the background. And since dogs were the first domesticated animal, and since there are people who have loved dogs for a very very long time, I added the clock (a TH die cut). I also added a small punch out heart that I added just a bit of red sparkle to. Then I used an old Cheery Lynn die and cut the dog bones out a couple of times. I finished with a sticker quote because spending time with a dog is a simple pleasure in life. 

  For those of you who prefer cats, I also agree spending time with a cat is also a simple pleasure, but I will say that dogs get the prize for giving you that look of love. 😏 (Not that cats don't love you either, but as you probably know, it's just different.)

   As always our Animal challenge runs for the next 2 weeks, and we accept any kind of art, as long as this time it has something to do with animals. If you need any ideas, but sure to check out the rest of the design teams selections. 

   I hope you're as inspired by animals as I am, and I look forward to seeing your animal art.

Love this! Dogs are wonderful--as are cats, but as you say, they're different :-)

Cute page. As I think I mentioned before I have a not so good history with dogs, sadly. I´m more the mouse person ;-) I think any animal can bring joy. So... looking forward to more here - have a great day, hugs

Tuesday's post and on my reading list already, wow!

I'm with you on that image it's really lovely and like how you've frame sit in the Timmy clock (reminding me I have that hidden somewhere).

You asked how many Horses, my boy Heskey is the senior boy, then Merlin who's eldest Granddaughters mount, then Penelope, GGD's (I was persuaded when she was six month old a necessity) and new Aurora. Happy Days.
