TRUE FRIEND ALWAYS .....



Nellie is this week's hostess over at GothicArches. The theme she has chosen is "Dogs".

It has been a while since I have been able to participate in this challenge. At first I wasn't sure what I would do, as I don't own any pet stamps and was struggling re a layout, but who could resist this cute puppy who is similar to my own 18 month old Black Labrador Sam when he was a pup.

Stamps - Tim Holtz (Scratches & Tree). Paperbag Studios (Gate)
Paper - Basic Grey
Distress Ink - Weathered Wood
Versafine - Smokey Grey
