It's a Dog's Life

Yes, this dog is spoiled, but he is not mine.  He belongs to the other grandparents and my son-in-law.  He is the meanest looking boxer you have ever seen, but in real life is the wimpiest pup you have ever seen.  He crashed into the screen door once and wouldn't go near the door for a week.   As you can tell, he is also a great guard dog, watching over my granddaughter.  This was taken about a year ago by Grandma "R"  and is one of my favorite pictures.   However, she took it with her cell and used a square format, which did not translate to 5x7 at all.  So I had to print a 8x8 and crop it down after making the layout.  I was going to stamp lots of small dogs on the vertical strip and then came up with the idea to fill the overlay with his name.  I used Mickey Font and CCR for the die cuts on this layout.

Sharon, from MeeMee's Creations is our hostess this week for Bitten by the Bug2 and has selected a dog die cut for our Linky challenge.  I automatically knew I wanted to use this picture in my layout.  Coming up with a design was a challenge for me.    Link up your 'dog' inspired project, card, or layout at BBTB2.  Look forward to seeing what you design.  Ruff, Ruff!!!
