DOGgone Fun Blog Hop!

Welcome to the DOGgone FUN Blog Hop!

You should have arrived here from Krista's Paper Cafe!  If not, you might want to start from the beginning of the hop at our wonderful host Haidee's blog Created2bunique - she has some FANTASTIC blog candy to give away (can I get a "woof woof" for an iPod Shuffle?  WOOF WOOF!).  I am extremely honored and excited to be part of Haidee's first hop, and especially a hop that celebrates her ADORABLE rescue Charisma! 

I am super excited to be celebrating these adorable and fun four-legged friends in our life!  To be honest, I do not currently own a dog (just two cats that behave like dogs, lol) :)  However, I did grow up with a half Husky, half German Shepherd named Pepper who I loved dearly and even now I enjoy playing with our friends' and neighbors' dogs :)  So I do still consider myself a dog lover at heart! 

Onto my project...

I chose to create my project for my husband's parents, who recently had to put their dog, Velvet, to sleep.  I don't have a picture of Velvet myself, but this will give you a general idea of what she looked like in her prime:

Photo Courtesty of Dog Breed Info Center - Chinese Crested

My mother-in-law has been eager to create a project to share their memories of Velvet but has been busy and has not had a chance to begin her crafting.  The frame that I created and am sharing with you to do was a simple way to remember this very special dog in their life with others. 

Supplies Used:
* Michaels' Unfinished Frame

* White Craft Paint

* Making Memories "1 1/4 Chunky Watercolor - Brick Dark" Alphabet Stickers

* Puffies "Dog's Life" Stickers
* EK Success/Sticko "Animal Tracks" Stickers
* EK Success/Sticko "Puppies" Stickers

* Pawprint Ribbon (from the "Special Value" bin at Michaels)
* Hot Glue Gun
* Super Glue

I left the open space on the bottom of the frame so that we can add the years that Velvet was alive.  I plan on presenting the frame to my in-laws soon so that they can add the perfect picture to remember her by :)
