Stay Cool!

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere it's the dog days of summer, so I couldn't resist using this Mo Manning image for my "Stay Cool" card.  It's that dog, I just can't resist him, he is one cool puppy. 
This week the theme for the Pile It On challenge is "Stay Cool" which is a real life challenge for the many of you that have been hit with the horrible heat wave.  Oddly, here in southwest Florida it hasn't been too bad and when it is, well, it's time to find some water and take a dip.  But I digress...
The idea of the Pile It On challenge is to make a card with our theme and at least one other challenge.  There's links to lots of other challenges on the blog and the work of the other design team to inspire you.  Of course the linkey thing is there for when you finish your project.  This week the challenge is sponsored by Stamp Fairy.

  9. Hi Chris,

    Oh my goodness this card made me chuckle. That image is just too darn cute and the colors are fantastic. Love that you dressed the inside, too.

    Two hours away isn't so bad. I haven't visited MFT stamps in a really long time. I used to have some, but I sold them. The headless images kinda freak me out. I have wanted their cutting dies, but it's not been able to fit in the budget yet. I would love to go to their show though, that'd be fun! Is it in your neck of the woods?
