I Blame The Blinkin' Dog.....

Oh what a palarva (sp) I have had making this card...its the second time I had coloured this image, the first time I had coloured about half of her and my stoopid dog (love him really lol) crept (yes greyhounds creep!!) up behind me, I was listening to abit of Robbie & Buble at the time and what did Charlie do.....he barked, making me jump and I drew a burnt sienna line straight across my girlie....after my heart had stopped racing a turned around and he was sitting there all sweet and cute with his paw in the air, wanting fuss...silly doggie lol
After that I stamped her out again and started all over again....to start with I had done her to use following the sketch and recipe (use fabric (I used a felt flutterbut) checks and something green on the Willow Sketchie Challenge but after all the excitement with Charlie I totally forgot to follow the sketch..gonna enter it anyway cus its not far off lol
Also gonna enter it in the Sentimental Sundays challenge which is 'Someone Special' and in my book there is noone as special as a friend (ok, yeah, Nige is ok...love him loads especially when he's at work, or asleep, as long as he's not snoring lol).
And the theme over at the Saturday Challenge is 'Friendship'
