Hi!   I made a card for the Digital Tuesday challenge today which is to use gingham. I used gingham paper and gingham ribbon. The cute beagle is from KnK Designs. I had a beagle mix once, but after the third time I came home and had to go hunting the streets to find him, I realized that the best thing for him was to give him back to the trainer.  I just wanted a pet that would stay put already
