Let The Dog Days Begin!

Finally, some long overdue creativity.  Something simple, and relatively quick.  Something I felt compelled to create after being inspired by this card.  I'm in dog mode.  Dog on the brain, dog in front of me, dog next to me, dog under my feet, dog every where I go.  So this is what I came up with:

The Dog Days have DEFINITELY begun!

We've had Molly for about two weeks now.  There haven't been a lot of days with sunshine, but on the days there was, I took pictures, lots of 'em.  Sort of like when you have a new baby and all you do is snap photos of the cuteness, only she's a dog and can move around a lot more.  Notice in two of the photos she's sporting the paracord collar I made her.  She looks pretty sharp, doesn't she?

Now I could go on and tell you exactly what I did to make this layout.  But I think you might fall asleep, or click the back button to return to wherever you came from.  So I won't bore you with what a clipping mask is or how to make rounded rectangles in Photoshop.  And I won't even discuss how I make templates in Photoshop to use for digi and paper layouts.  Maybe some other time.  I will say that an excellent way to inspire yourself is to look at other people's work.  But, then again, you probably already knew that.  I'm sure you don't need me to tell you anything.  I'm just happy that I created something after the slump I've been in and I wanted to share it.  So just enjoy the puppy cuteness as I do (and sometimes don't) every day!  And if you have anything to say about it, well go right ahead! 

In case you're interested, everything I used for this layout is from Lettering Delights except for the tab at the top which is an SVG (converted to a PNG in Make The Cut!*) from SVGCuts.  Here's some non-affiliate links if you'd like to check them out:
