July's Challenge has gone to the dogs!

D.O.G.S. that is! Our challenge for you this month is to create either a layout or a card using a minimum of four techniques, embellishments, and/or products each beginning with the letters D, O, G, & S. You don't have to use a dog in your creation unless of course you want to!

Becky's card design:

Distress ink on the pink dotted paper (Bo Bunny, my fave!)

Oval - Spellbinders Nestabilities - Scallop and Classic Ovals

Gemstones

Stickles on poodle's hair, and Souffle pens to color (and Scallops, too)

Isn't that Poodle hilarious!

Lisa's layout design:

Distressed edges of striped paper, title, & photo with sanding block

Oversized title (Chip Chatter chipboard letters)

Glossy Accents on butterflies & flourish (love the dimension & epoxy look it gives) & Gel pen

Stickles (of course!) in yellow and turquoise & Scallops (made with the EK Success large corner rounder)

The paper I used is Sandy Lion's new paper line rouge de garance inspiration. It's exclusive to the independent scrapbook stores. Come check it out - it's lovely!

Becky, Sommer, & I did a little brainstorming for the different letters. A few ideas are...

D - decorative punches or scissors, diecuts, digital, doodle

O - Overlays, overlapping, old

G - glitter glue (Stickles!), ghost letters or shapes, Grandma's buttons :)

S - stitching, symbols, shaker box, silhouette

Ok, so put your thinking caps on, let the creative juices flow, and doggon it- create something!
