Dreaming of summer....


 Good morning,  this week's challenge at Crafty Catz begins today, this week our host is Christine and her chosen theme is 'Dreaming of Summer ' (oh yes!) .

Our sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter


the DT were given this gorgeous image to play with , it's called Having a Good Time...and he looks as if he is! The image comes with both coloured and black and white versions as well as backing papers. I choose to use the uncoloured version as TPS images are so lovely to colour, I used my Copic markers and DIs for the background.  
The die cut flower is Ditsy Florals (Tattered Lace)

Please do hop over to Crafty Catz to see the gorgeous cards my teamies have created using this cute little guy. It would be great to have you play along this week- as always the theme is entirely optional.

It's been a whole week since I last managed to post! Someone has been keeping me very busy! I think a young puppy takes up nearly as much time as looking after a baby, it's so important to put the time in when they're young and learn so quickly, also they're not puppies for very long and you have to enjoy the puppy games while you can! He's been given a clean bill of health  from the vet and has now had his first injection. We're looking forward to the day we can take out him out and introduce him to the big wide world.


Thanks for visiting, have a lovely day

Chris

    Oh I am sorry but Marvin takes the show here Chris, he is adorable with his little paws like that and makes me crave to get Bella home and train her up....what a beautiful pup and good he has a bill of health.
    Now your card is also gorgeous, but I have run out of words as I keep looking at Marvin as I am typing. Great card though. xx

    Hi Chris,
    I love your wonderful card and he does look so chilled and enjoying himself.
    Beautifully coloured as always and I love the colours too.
    Oh my your puppy is gorgeous and such a swetie.
    Yes you are right they don't stay puppies for long.
    I remember when my Son got his 2 and they are now 9 years old which makes them quite old like me in dog years.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    That will be me next week hopefully! Glad your puppy is in good health, my poor door is on steroids at the minute after a visit to vet. He has Vestibular ataxia and can't walk in a straight line at all. Poor wee thing. Your card is just brill!

    oh my goodness! Two darling little faces - the first, the beautifully colored elfin character in your longing-for-summer card, and the 2nd is the darling puppy who is keeping you extra busy these days! How do you manage to keep your puppy from tearing is lion toy apart? It's so cute how people train their puppies to hold their toys when they are happy. Wishing you a great week! hugs, de
