Dog Days of Summer



It's time for an Inspired By challenge!

My inspiration came from the patterns on the pups in the photo. The flowers, stripes and polka dots (go figure!). My pup, on the other hand, went in a completely different direction.


When it comes to dogs, my heart belongs to our sweet boy Max. A mini schnauzer, 15" tall, 15" long and all muscle. I do miss that little fluffy fella. When I would walk him ~ cars would actually stop, say he was one gorgeous dog and ask what kind he was! He did strut his stuff! His ears weren't clipped either which added to his cuteness. When I saw this stamp (Bugawumps), I had to buy it! Those ears!


Okeydokey peeps, it's your turn!

Move over whatever photo is in the dictionary next to "cutest!" This tribute to Max is taking over! Lisa, this is the BEST! What a brilliant image that is and I love your polka-dot frame design showcasing him! And that twine bow done up all foo-foo is so perfect to bring out those checks, that nose, those ears, and that muscular little body! Hugs, Darnell
