Puppy Play

Hello there and happy first day of May!  I'm playing with my cute Flower Puppy from Bugaboo today.  He asked so nice and I couldn't say no.  We played very briefly between gardening and dinner prep -- quick to color, and a ready made sketch from The Paper Players Challenge.  He turned out very cheerful and fun, as is the way of puppies.




I used puppy paper and a matching sentiment sticker with Doodlebug matte sprinkles for accent.  Colored with Copics.  The "play with me" is cute, but for no particular occasion until you think of it in conjunction with the inside sentiment.  Then it has the option of becoming a birthday card.




I love that this quote is from Ward Cleaver.  I still enjoy watching "Leave it to Beaver" now and then.  They were my American dream when I was growing up.  The quote stamp is from the retired Stampin' Up! Smarty Pants set.




That's all for me and my puppy.  Thanks so much for stopping in today.  You know I love it when you do.  Wishing you a very happy day!

hahaha! Love that interior sentiment, and I'm living proof that it is true! LOL Wonderful card, Leslie, with the colored tennis balls and doggy prints - and that naughty puppy, eating flowers! I especially like the fussy cutting, and thin line of green grass with your fabulously pebbled circle. Love it! hugs, de

What a cute card! I love the flower he is holding in his mouth with the look - no I didn't do it! All the DSP really make the card, especially all the balls waiting to be played with. We babysat our little Chihuahua and he played with his ball all day and wouldn't give it up.

That is so adorable! Almost as cute as Wally, but Wally and Lulu are always tops. I don't think I've ever seen that sentiment set. Love the quote. Your layout is fabulous. I like the brown circle behind the puppy. It really sets him off.
