PDE Linky Party 03-11-16

Hello and Happy Friday!

It is time for a new PDE Linky Party and

as always the Theme is ANYTHING GOES!!

Today I am sharing a card and picture frame 

for one of my friends.  Back in December she adopted

a new dog.  We are both dog lovers and her 2 dogs had

passed away within the last 2 years.  She desperately wanted another

dog, but her husband said he didn't want another dog.

She is a lover of Pugs, so when she had the opportunity

to adopt a sweet little girl pug, she jumped at the chance

hoping her husband would not make her take her back!!

All things ended well and she got her new pug Chloe!!

For her birthday, I made her this sweet set!!

Here is a pic of the inside, I used My Favorite Things

Birthday Greetings Stamp.

Here is the frame I made for her.  

I used the Pug Dog Puppy file

from SVG Cutting Files.

Her is a close up of the cute little Pug!!

She absolutely loved both the card and frame.

It sits proudly on her desk!!

We can't wait to see your projects

and remember it is ANYTHING GOES,

so any handmade item is eligible!!
