I finally had time to do a challenge! I could not resist the Corrosive Challenge Blog #20, It's All About Dogs!!! Thankfully I have been scrapping this week and I had a page to do for Rusty's scrapbook.

Also, here is a picture of Rusty. He was hanging out with me in my craft room last weekend. So I had to take his picture while I was photographing my scrapbook pages. Isn't he adorable??!!
