Hello Friend

It's time for our second challenge this month at 
Double D and the theme is FRIENDS.
We have a friends 'mood' board for inspiration.


As a pet owner and how I LOVE my pets dearly I think of my
dear dog Mack as one of my best friends, he is always happy to see me
and is all smiles with everyone he meets so that is where my idea
for my image came from and also the Penny Black Gentle Thoughts
stamp set which is a new one for me.  The sentiment is Spellbinders Little Hello Sentiments.
The die cuts are Tutti Designs.


Here are a few pictures of my Mr. Mack, Mr. Smiley himself
Yes, we let him sit on the sofa, hence the blanket.
He is eight years old and weighs 68#s.
Look at those long legs!!


He scares people with his smile, I don't know why??


Come on over to Double D and make some 'friends' with our
fun challenge theme!

Entering the following challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge   ATG or Something New
NBUS .... Never Before Used Schtuff

Well, you got me with the pictures of Mack. What a handsome guy! Ten pounds more than Ridley and not as much as Sophie. I can't imagine sitting on the couch without a dog snuggled up there with me. He has a lovely smile, too! Wally smiled and it could be off putting until you realized all the charm that came with it, sigh. I think I might have this image that a friend shared with me. I'll have to double check. It's so sweet and all the more precious with the sentiment. Love that big "hello"!

Oh yes we should not forget our friends the dog's cats or whatever pet that you have. They show us unconditional love. This is a great stamp to show just that. I love that you did this card for this challenge.

Lovely Diane! Your card is pretty special too 😉! Hugs, Kate!

The sweetest! Adorable image of friends for life. And there's nothing like a Doodle and I'm sure Mack agrees. He deserves a spot on the couch...he is family!

Such a heartwarming take on the FRIENDS theme. The way you paired that sweet Penny Black image with the bold hello sentiment feels so natural and full of warmth. Mack absolutely steals the show, though. His expressions radiate personality, and it is easy to see why he inspired your card. The long legs, the sofa smile, the whole vibe adds such charm to the post. This design captures the joy of a loyal companion in the most genuine way.

Aw, what a sweet image to make a perfect friend card, Diane! And your Max is also a sweetie - and a hoot! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
