Moxie by Dana Tatar - June Stamp It Up Challenge

Hi! Dana Tatar here today sharing my take on Denise's Stamp It Up June Challenge. A fabulous sentiment stamp about dogs from Viva Las Vegastamps! and a sweet photo my husband's cousin's dog Moxie was my starting point for this page. I also used the current sketch from Blue Fern Studios to give me some direction.

I used a wonderful grey piece of 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown patterned paper for the base of this layout. I love the neutral background! I then added color with pieces of scrap paper, vintage postcards from my Zeus and Zoe Kit, Blue Fern Studios Mini Ring Things and Royal Monarch chipboard, ribbon and flowers.

The sweet sentiment stamp from Viva Las Vegastamps! reads: The reason dogs have so many friends is that they wag their tails instead of their tongues.

We'd love to see how you interpret this challenge! We'd love to have you join us this month!

As usual, we have some amazing prize packages up for grabs:

1st Prize:
1 plate o' rubber, the winners choice, shipped to them for free.
