Sadly, my daughter recently lost her sweet Miniature Schnauzer to old age/cancer so I wanted to make her a special card.

The dimensional card design was inspired by Irina Blount of LaLa Land Crafts and all of the die cuts and papers are also from LaLa Land Crafts.  The image and sentiment is from My Favorite Things - I tried to give it a bit of a Schnauzer look LOL.
Thanks for taking a  look.
