Yoshi card: best is yet to come

I waited until Kathi received this card before I blogged it. This was one of those personal creative explosions I have from time to time, LOL! The vines are meant to represent Yoshi's family tree since Kathi is the breeder who created our Grand Champion Brindun's Johnny One Note. She sent us all an email as soon as she got our card. I decided to create and send it early since I had my wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday .....I had no pain until this morning, and now I have an ice pack on my face. Oh well, at least I have one more day to recover before I return to work. 

Enough about my pity party....here is the card in all its glory ! Thank you for visiting my blog. Please feel  free to send me a message with any questions or requests.

Canine card: Bedrock watch out!

This adorable pug featured above is named "Barney Rubble". He is our friend Betty's grand champion pug. It was one of my first cards created on the go. Even though it was a scary challenge, it was one I enjoyed. Betty was in love with the card. She even mentioned placing it in a prominent spot in her home where she could admire it at any time.

Thank you Betty for everything! Your friendship is an incredible gift!

Card: Missing you Armida!

Here is the finalized card. I love to create last minute cards because it challenges me to use the products I have for a quick turnaround card!

Yoshi is a lapdog and a show dog all rolled into one. Even when he is not feeling well he turns it on in the ring. It is wonderful to see. He is an unforgettable dog, and now an AKC Grand Champion.

Armida was one of the first people we called with the news. She was totally ecstatic about his award. She sent him hugs and kisses over the phone line. I trust she will love the card once she receives it.

Drawing: Yoshi

Yoshi is one of my favorite things about living in Central Texas. This pug brings such joy and whimsy to life here. His expressive eyes are unique in that they almost speak volumes in one look.
I have been attempting to capture his expression for a long time and I am finally satisfied with what I have achieved. Enough so that I decided to publish it on my blog.
My drawing ability may still need some refining but as they say "practice makes perfect".

He is a constant companion and has this innate ability to know when I am in need of a cuddle. I can honestly say that is indispensable in my life these days.
He is a show dog, lap dog, and ham in every sense of the word. His AKC grand championship may be 5 points away in their books, but he has been a grand champion since the day I met him.
