Happy 109th Birthday, Eula

I had a few challenges I wanted to do this week so due to lack of time, I was able to combine them. This card was made for the teapot party this week. The cards go to Eula who is celebrating her 109th birthday. Wow, can you imagine being her age and still having a sharp mind like she does. My poor little mind forgets more and more each day. Eula likes to know about the internet and about others lives. What card would better describe something about me than a dog card. Most of you know my hobby seems to be collecting dogs lately. Real ones. This squigglefly image was perfect since the last dog that came to my home to adopt me was a Doxie girl. (my Doxie is black, but with the black sunglasses, the blacks just blended together, I will have to practice on that) The Squigglefly challenge was to use green and blue. I added the lace border to soften it us since I am sending it to Ms. Eula. I also used the Midnight Madness challenge for this week.

    First, let me wish Ms Eula a "VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I think it is terrific that she is going to be 109! God Bless Her and may she enjoy her day with loved ones!I believe that part of the reason she is still active is her interest in life and part genetic, of course.

    Now, on to your card, which I think is not only perfect for the occasion but also very, very cute! Love that green paw print paper. That goes so well with your image. Great image and coloring. Good Luck in the challenge!
