Just Because with a hint of a challenge

I wanted to make sure I played along with this month's "dirty" challenge, but I was feeling a bit more clean and simple then complex, so I figured I'd upload it at this blog.

The guidelines were:

• Required Element: Dog images or sentiments and heat of summer color scheme (so think orange, red, mustard, etc.)
• Restricted Element: Flock, or any fuzzy type embellishment
• Keyword: DCDOG809

Supplies: Stamps: Astro Pups (gelatins) Ink: Rich Cocoa, Really Rust Paper: Summer Sun, Dusty Durango, Taken with Teal, White Accessories, etc.: markers, scallop punch, button, string, ribbon, pop dots
