I love this dog!

This was a super-simple card to make, but it was fun
because my little boy had a "Kids Challenge" to enter so
we spent the morning together creating!
I will post his creation
on the blog he shares with his brother.
The newest challenge at Crafty Sentiments
is a color challenge using
Green, Yellow and Brown
The timing was perfect, since I had already decided I was going to do Something with that image~ (-:

Bella Tucker is an 8-year-old girl who attends South School Elementary in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Bella came down with a near fatal infection on Easter Sunday. Doctors gave little hope for this third graders’ survival, but after five days in a coma she miraculously survived.
Unfortunately, her survival from this infection was not without significant cost. The infection caused extensive tissue damage, and on April 27, 2010, Bella underwent quadruple amputation surgery and is currently facing an extremely long and hard recovery at Children’s Hospital in Boston with extensive rehabilitation to follow, as she learns to live life without her limbs.
Bella is part of a gymnastics team with the daughter of a fellow stamper. As a stamping community everyone is reaching out in any way they can. You can help support Bella and her family too by visiting http://www.bellatucker.org/
There are, as always, generous hearts out there holding Blog Hops for Bella. If you would like to make a card for Bella please do and then visit Denise to start the hop for this week and get the address for Bella’s card. I hope every one of you will find it in your heart to give to this beautiful little girl.

I got home from work today and took a few pictures during daylight and I touched up the sentiment.
I originally used my Cri-Kit pens for the sentiment and I just didn't like how it turned out.
So I touched it up and filled it in a little and I think it looks better!
Here's the new shots:
"We would like to share some sad news today, some of you may already know from her blog, our design team member Michelle had an accident about two weeks ago, which has left her with the loss of her right eye and a long road of recovery ahead. In an effort to cheer her up and raise awareness for what happened to Michelle we are holding a card drive in her honor. We have many generous companies and individuals helping us with this special card drive and we hope you will help too!
Two of Whimsy Stamps lovely Artists Melissa Jenkins and Ann Vento have teamed up together to bring us this very special donkey image and matching sentiments, these are all available to download for free from the Whimsy Stamps store page."
It's full of textures to feel and touch!
The papers are all embossed with Swiss Dots
and Birds and Swirls.
The image is colored (with my trusty Crayola pencils)
then popped up on one of Penny Duncan's Nesties.
The border punch is Swiss Cheese,
just for more texture and depth.
The ribbon is from Offray
(I think I got it at Walmart).
Oh! The papers:
I found them online and don't remember where...
I had them in a file on my computer for awhile, so I must have saved them before I learned how important it is to keep track of where everything comes from and who I downloaded it from... I know better now! (-:
My little boy, Joey, also wanted to participate in this card drive!
Please take a second to take a look at HIS card here:

It is the very first card he really made ALL BY HIMSELF
and he is so super-proud of it!
