Celebrate with Style

Good evening all,
It is unusual for me to post on a Tuesday--I know--, but I have two more cards to go from the weekend!

This card is for my mother's birthday.  She adores poodles, but her poodle died last year (actually she was a cross between a poodle and a bichon).  My mother also is a fashionista--she's all about the style and dressing up.  So I thought this card would really make her day.  I used a very old challenge sketch from Sketchbook Saturday (Challenge #44).  I recently came across this site and I fell in love with Chupa's sketches.  Spellbinders and MFT dies and an old Pink Cat Studio stamp.  I also used the cuddlebug impression plate for the pink strip.  If you can't tell, this doggie has some stickles on her...surprise surprise!

Anyway...hope you enjoy this twist on a birthday card.  Thanks for stopping by (only 4 more days to go til TGIF--not like I'm counting). :)  Margaret
