Creative Crew 2024 - July

It's posting day for the Creative Crew. What exactly is the Creative Crew? We are a group of 7 card-making friends from various US locations who have a fun monthly creative adventure with a secretive twist. 

Other than the first and last months of each round, one of the group's members is the hostess. As host, she chooses a theme and then sends each of the group members a theme-appropriate image and some designer paper. The host can also include a sentiment and/or special item if she chooses to do so. The group members all receive the same items, but there is to be no conversation about what was received or the cards we're making. Then, on the 15th of the month, we all reveal our cards.

It's always fun to see how each person uses the image/papers.  

On the first and last month of each round - we shake things up a bit and have a theme and/or challenge with nothing mailed. We each use our own supplies.

This is the first month of this round. You might not know this, but July 15th is also National Get Out of the Doghouse Day. Is that something to celebrate? Of course it is! So we are each making a card that includes a dog (or any pet).

Here's my card:
