Yankee Doodle Doggie

It's Friday and  that means a new challenge over at Frosted Designs.  I'm hosting this week's challenge of Stars and Stripes, Red, White and Blue.  Head on over to Frosted Designs where you can read a little bit about me and see what our talented DT has done with this challenge.

Now I will admit that at first I did  not have a clue what I was going to do with this challenge, as I was sure that I did  not have any patriotic pictures, or papers.  I was looking through my piles of scrapbook kits that I have purchased and came across the April kit I had purchased from Scrap Attack.  To my delight I found these papers by Glitz.  Then I remembered that a few years ago I had taken some pictures of Zoey right after I had brought her home from her trip to the grooming salon.  They had tied a patriotic bandanna around her neck, and she sat ever so patiently for me as a dangled a treat in front of her as I snapped some pictures.

I hand cut the banner, backed it with some blue paper and cut the backing with some decorative scissors.  I took some small white rick rack and inked it with cyan ink.  I also added some larger white rick rack to the striped paper which I  inked with some brown ink to tie it in  with the distressed look of the  paper.

The backing behind the photo is actually a backing from a Jenni Bowlin product, which I cover with paper and then inked with dark brown ink.  The July calendar is by Jenni Bowlin.  The little round wooden game piece was a part of the Scrap Attack April kit.

I found the sheet music to Yanee Doodle, printed it out and added Doggie using Quickutz Mini Studio alphabet.  The adorable image of the boy pulling a wagon with the dog was cut from the Cricut cartridge A Child's Year.

We have a great July prize this month over at Frosted Designs.
