Deck of Art-Pets-8 of Diamonds-due 4/20

Post by mpizzazz »

I'm posting my theme and card early for next Wednesday, April 14th. I don't know what Internet access we will have at our hotel in London. So while I am updating the lists today, I thought I would post it. I've really been looking forward to my turn and my theme so didn't want to miss out.

The card is the 8 of Diamonds which finishes off the Diamond suit. Only a few Clubs and several Spades left.

The theme is Pets-however you want to interpret it. If you don't like or have pets, you can always explore why you don't.

The first pet I remember as a child was a dog my sister and I named Mustard. Would you believe we "found" him in a mustard box? We were so lucky!!

My favorite dog quote which I think you can read on the card and seems especially suited to goofy Airedales. A photo of our Bridget @RB now for 4 1/2 years, I still miss her.

That eyelet is one that doesn't need a setter. You can spread the metal with a pencil or pen. I really like those type.

My first pet-an Alaskan Husky named Tiger. He was the cutest butterball of a puppy you've ever seen.

Nice card, Rachelle. Huskies have such beautiful fur, I bet he was cute.
