A Dog-Gone Sweet Sunday Sketch

Its time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch - and I had such a fun time working on this card. I've been itchy to use this "Little Boy Blue" paper from the Quite Contrary line of My Mind's Eye.
And, shame on me that I hadn't yet inked up this sweet Pure Innocence Boy and His Dog image from My Favorite Things. Aren't they sweet?

While the traditional rule of thumb is not to use ribbon on a boy-ish card, I'm going out on a limb that twill tape is an acceptable use, right? Lots of olives, and blues, and I picked this rich chocolate scrap for a bit of apron lace trim (I know, I know, I can't back away from that thing...)

Hope that I won't get points deducted for adding a tiny little panel here for my sentiment "You're So Dog-Gone Cute." All I'll say is that sentiment treatments are my Achilles heel. I seriously struggle here. As such, quite often, I simply opt out of using one at all!

I'll probably be quiet on the blog this week, as both my boys are out of school for vacation, and my home daycare business will be packed! Which means that at the end of the day it will likely be a glass of wine, catching up on TiVo and early to bed instead of a cup of coffee and late night stampin' So, if you have some extra time this week, stamp a little extra for me? Okay?

Be sure to stop by Karen's Blog to see her sample, don't forget that you'll be uploading YOUR creation to her InLinks before Thursday at 10pm Mountain Time - one card will be selected at random to be featured on Karen's blog!
