I just want to hang with my dog...

My son and daughter-in-law recently adopted a gorgeous Golden Doodle puppy. For those of you that may not know, that is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They were so excited about their new puppy, that I wanted to send them something in celebration.

First, I made them a card. I didn't have a Golden Doodle dog image, so I used a Silhouette design (#120773) of a Schnauzer, which I happened to already have in my Silhouette library. 


I modified it just a bit and tried to use shades of brown to make it look more like their dog. I added some silver Nuvo drops onto his blue collar. To give the eyes a little life, I used a gel pen to add a spot of white.


I shaped the layers a bit--especially the nose--and popped them up on foam squares to give some dimension to the card.








Finally, I purchased a couple of inexpensive t-shirts at Michael's. I happened to have some black iron-on vinyl (HTV), so I created a sentence in the Silhouette software with a paw-print for the "O" in DOG. The paw-print was a free clipart image that I traced in the software and then added to my design.




Here's a photo of my son and his wife with their new "baby":

Isn't that puppy cute? But look at the size of those paws! I think he's going to be quite big when he's full-grown.

We are experiencing some perfect summer weather here today, so I need to get away from the computer and go outside and enjoy it. Have a great day!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

How fun to celebrate a new puppy. Your dog is cute and expressive. I agree with the big paws. It is going to be a big dog.

Oh, so much to say! First of all, Cheryl, you must have been six years old when you had your son! Second, what a great mom you are to make the kids a custom-designed card and tee-shirts in celebration of your new grand-dog! He is an absolute cutie-patootie ... and he's going to be a HUGE cutie-patootie a year from now! I can't wait to see photos along the way as he grows. What's his name? (Stunning home, too!) Hugs, Darnell

Awww...what a great mom, card and shirt!!! The shirts are just too cute especially with the aw print for the O. You are not old enough to have a son that "old", are you sure it isn't your brother??? As for the dog, well you had me a puppy - any kind of puppy,, we are such dog lovers. We are also "failed" fosters so we have 3 big 4 legged "kids".
