And the prize is a gift code!

The theme this month is "HOT", and a desert is really hot! Here is my project-

 

To me, nothing is hotter than the desert, and the dog days of summer feel like you're in the desert! The cute scene is from Cricut Design Space. I made a white dog, and inked the edges with Distress Oxide Weathered Wood and used a Copic multi-liner to draw the toenails and mouth. All the paper was out of my stash bins. The sentiment was computer generated and cut out with a Lawn Fawn Speech Bubble. The inside sentiment says "Yay."
