This month the i {heart} papers design team has been challenged to make a project inspired by their favourite charity. I am so thankful to be able to join my love for crafting and my love for my charity in one post!!
If you have followed my blog for long at all, you will know that my favourite charity is one of my greatest passions - the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS). My family has fostered +120 dogs with this organization in just over 2 1/2 years. I believe deeply in the philosophy of Adopt, Don't Shop and I go to schools to present to kids why this is so important. In my house right now we have 4 foster puppies which is a very low number for us since we had 13 fosters until 2 weeks ago.
For my project, I bought these awesome bone shaped cookies for the canines in the house. We are house training one 11 week old pup (UGH!) and teaching him that his crate really is a great place to be at night. He's not convinced. During the day, we have his crate in our general living area and we give him treats in there so he associates it with good things. Tonight, he's going to get part of this massive bone.
I made the tag using Labels 10 and Large Petite Oval Nestabilities Dies. The colours for AARCS are black and bright green. I used pattern paper from my Jovial 6" pad from Basic Grey for this tag because it was a good green and I like the random polka dots on it. I really don't thing anyone can read the Christmas Carol in the teensy medieval font on the paper, and I love the classic colours of this paper. It's not all about Christmas!!! The sentiment, paw print and puppy image is from Who Let the Dogs Out by Technique Tuesday and the pup is coloured uisng E30, E31 and E35 copic markers. I attached the tag to the bones using linen cord and black and ivory check ribbon.
I invite you to take a look at the rest of the IHP design team's projects inspired by their favourite charities! We would love you to play along with us and ask that you use code ihp0711 so we can find your projects too.
Wish me luck house training yet another puppy without my house starting to smell like an outhouse!!

OH HOW SWEET! Love the bones and the tag! Great project Loretta!
OMGosh this is sooo cute! Your puppy is colored beautifully (as usual!). You are so good to those little guys!
What a cute project!! I just can never get over your coloring, it's always so gorgeous.
Saw this on SCS but had to come tell you again how much I love it!
What a good idea! Perfect to give to a dog or a friend with a dog! Pretty bow and I love the button. Thanks for joining us at Crazy Challenge - good luck!

Adorable my friend! You are amazing for all you do. We're dealing with some serious separation anxiety from BooBoo (also not a fan of the crate).
Lovely project! Thank you for joining us at the Sentimental Sundays! ;)
Wonderful project. Hope your dog gets to be cozy with his crate soon. Thanks for joining us at The Crazy Challenge!
