This is my dog Boo, who ate way too many dog treats when I was trying to get his photo for this project!

Love the Details!

Your pet won’t notice the details, but you will enjoy them!  Double sided paper makes the inside pretty!  Cover up the edges of the ribbon with a scrap of paper punched out with the Best Label punch we use in the stamping.

I just had to post one more photo of Boo.  Look at the restraint in his eyes as he was waiting for me to tell him he could eat those treats by his feet!  He cracks me up!!!
