Birthday King Dog (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm so excited to tell you that I've decided to join the Polkadoodles Design Team. I've been doing a little GDT spot for a few challenges but they asked me to continue and I just adore their images so I couldn't resist. They have a new challenge just started on their blog, I hope you'll join in, you don't have to use one of their products but it'd be lovely if you do. 

For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products: 

Image:         Fuzzypuffs - Scruff Cupcake  

     

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - fave animal and why - well, I hate to admit but I don't love dogs but they are so cute to create with and my mum absolutely adores dogs, she minds them for a living so whenever I make a card for her I "must" make a dog card for her. I love this dog image too.
