Happy Saturday Peeps!!! 

It is time for another Our Creative Corner Challenge. 
This week I am the hostess challenge and my challenge to you is:

"Show Us your Shape"~Shaped cards. 
Anything but a square or rectangle. 
You can find so many cute templates on the internet or use a die or cut file and your imagination and show us your shapes!!


A while back I found this cute little Scottie Dog Pattern, It is by Kim Hughes and was in the Card Creations magazine. It was my inspiration for this challenge.
I used some basic black card stock folded in half to make the Scottie dog. He folds at the ear and the tail.
I made a couple of the dogs to try out the pattern just plain, but decided after making the initial two that he might look nice embossed and so I gave it a try. I used the Stampin Up square lattice EF on just the front of the card pattern. I really like the look of the puppy embossed, it adds alot, I think.

 I hand drew out his "scarf"  and then used some punches to make the "knot". I used a 3/4" circle punch for the middle of the knot and the two side pieces are from the Build a Blossom punch. I used some plaid paper from the Stampin Up Frost wood Lodge paper pack. To make his nose I used the small oval punch and trimmed it down by about half.  I added a small black rhinestone for his eye and the sentiment is from the Stampin Up "Friends Fur-ever" stamp set. I added a couple more black rhinestones to the sentiment piece. 
I think they turned out very cute and they are really easy to do.
