I hope that everyone had a marvelous Christmas! Now on to the New Year and my favorite Design Team Group International Art & Soul. The challenge this fortnight is #49 Cats and/or dogs.
I recently attended a crop that my sister-in-law hosted. She is a Creative Memories Adviser. If you would like to purchase Creative Memories and you don't have "a person" please consider buying from her. Denise America.
Before I went to the crop, I vowed that I would work on my dog Duncan's baby book. I completed two pages that I thought would be perfect for the challenge:
Here is the first page:
Here is the 2nd page:
Look how far he is leaning over the bow of the boat! Thank goodness for dog life preservers. He hasn't gone into the water yet, but I hold my breath hoping he won't slip!
The reason scrap-booking Duncan's life is so important to me is because when my dog Louie (thus the name Scrappin' with Chriss and Lou) passed away, having a scrapbook of all of the fun things we did together really helped our grief. We could look at the scrapbook and say "there is when we went camping in Florida" or "there is where we stayed in the honeymoon cottage in Maine." It helped to know that we had made every day of his life as fun as possible. We took Louie everywhere with us and we are doing the same with Duncan.
I hope you will stop by International Art & Soul to see the projects my design team sisters have made. Then play along with us! It is always fun!
