Layering several papers from the  A Dog's Life paper pad, she die cuts a pink, scalloped heart (Heart Frames die cut) and adds a black Scottie silhouette using the newly released Dog Silhouette die set. A darling way to combine papers and dies!

She adds a black silhouette of a puppy using a die from the Dog Silhouette die set.  She makes a feline companion card using papers from the A Cat' Life paper pad, a kitty from the Cat Silhouettes die set.
