A simple card with Fabscraps and a Julie Nutting stamp!

Yeah, I'm a crazy old poodle lady and my husband is currently building a 1948 Ford convertible street rod.  So I tease him and ask him to paint it pearl pink and put poodle graphics on the side for me.  Then I will dye my hair blue and ride around with the spoos in the back seat with a big hat on my head trailing ribbons as I go down the road.  LOL, can you just picture it?  Ha ha ha.

OK so what kind of cards does a crazy poodle lady send?  Poodle cards of course!  Fabscraps has a new collection call Love 2 Travel and one of the papers is called Paris and of course features graphics of the Eiffel Tower.  I thought that was the perfect paper for this card with Julie Nutting's Halie doll and her poodle. Now there really is no such thing as a French poodle, they are simply poodles, toy, minature, or standard, but still many people think French poodle so I thought this would make a cute card!  It's a quick simple card and I've listed the supplies and instructions below.    You could alter the design to use any kind of fussy cut image you have if you don't have any Julie Nutting stamps.
