I made my Father's Day card for my son - who is father to two basset hounds - Daisy and Roscoe. Yes - my grandchildren are dogs (!) and they are very loving and cute!
Here are the real doggies - Roscoe is on the left and Daisy is on the right.
Something caught their interest in the neighbor's yard
Roscoe still sits pretty and Daisy loses interest in looking at Grandma's camera!
I used the April SFYTT sketch for my card - using a wonky rectangle instead of a circle. I thought it made the card a little more jumpy - just like the dogs!
