Ruby-dooby-doo's Stampin Spot: David's Birthday card

Hooray for Tuesday .... I've the rest of the week off work! But of course it was beautiful and sunny today, and the forecast for the rest of the week is wet'n'windy - Typical!
This wee card is for my brother's birthday .... he's a bit of a doggy lover, so I thought I'd use Watson from High Hopes and stamped the ground as if there was a birthday cake buried there amongst his bones!
Coloured with copics and chalked some clouds in the sky. Banner from Practising Creativity.

Sketch from Card Positioning Systems #203
The Crafty Pad #106 - one for the boys
Stamptacular Sunday #96 - Whateva ... anything goes!
Tuesday Throwdown #34 - stitching real or faux

Oh, and before I forget, I've a couple of awards to upload...

from Pat at My Work in Progress ... Pat was one of my first followers and I was one of hers, and its always a pleasure to nip across and see Pat's latest fab creations!

And

from Melly at Mels Craft Room - I can't remember where I 'met' Melly, but she makes the most amazing exploding boxes (and the rest!) Melly is starting her own challenge blog Dream Valley Challenges, so mark your diaries for 27 February!
Thanks for the awards girlies! Now I know I'm supposed to choose 5 blogs to pass it on to, but I can't choose from all my favourite blogs .... but if you'd like to help yourself to one of these awards please do so .... And let me know so I can pop over to your blog and share the love!!!
