Be the Person Your Dog Thinks You Should Be (DTC #212)





Thank you for stopping by my blog. Another Double Trouble Challenge is available now through Sunday, March 29, 2026, at noon ET.

This is Challenge #212, and we are observing "National Puppy Day" on Monday, March 23. Here are the requirements for the 3-2-1 Recipe and how I incorporated them into my card.


INCLUDE AT
LEAST 

3 Colors (from our Color Wheel #3)
Red, white, and blue were used.



2 Images
Two images were included: a canine and a dog bone.

1 Sentiment
A sentiment was stamped directly onto the cardstock.

OPTIONS
Twisted Sister wants to see at least one four-legged animal.
The image of the canine fulfills this option.

Double Dare is offering a sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #691, shown below. This biweekly challenge runs from Tuesday, March 17, through Sunday, March 29, 2026, at noon (ET). You will be eligible for yet another chance in the random drawing if you also use this sketch for the Double Trouble Challenge
The sketch was not used.

Alternate Challenge: We also have an Alternate Challenge. If you have created a project using our 3-2-1 Recipe, "Paw-some," and have a 4-legged critter(s), you can enter your project at Critter Crazy Challenge #108, "Anything Goes with Featured Critter," until their closing date of March 25th and earn another chance in our random drawing. 

 



The elements of this card were a gift from the hostess of a "crop" I attended several years ago. It was like a mini-kit. Intended to be made only in blue and white, I added the red and tan elements to meet the color requirement. The dog bone was hand-drawn and fussy cut to meet the two-image requirement. The inside was decorated with leftover paper and stamped with the sentiment, "Oh, yappy day."

I appreciate your comments.

  1. Isn't it great when you get to use up a few things that you've had around for a while? Love your image - he looks so cute and his red bandana is perfect. I like the sentiment too.

  2. I remember that kit... I used mine in July of 2020 and made alterations to the layout... https://iluvscrapping2.blogspot.com/2020/07/oh-yappy-day-color-dare-402.html. And neither of us know how the original layout was presented and you brought this back to life 5-6 years later from your stash... AMAZING. Adorable and fun card, love the plaid.

  3. This is such a cute card! The sentiment is so sweet - it's a tall order! Dogs are so precious in their unconditional love toward us and they never judge. Such a cute card for the challenge :)
