I {heart} Dogs

I finally did it!!! After months of having zero motivation, I finally created a new layout. Not a kit this time -- this is my layout. I was inspired by the photo, I just knew I had to do something with this one. Then I picked up the Friends Furever line from We R Memory Keepers and knew that the two belonged together. The final piece was the July 2011 sketch challenge posted at Scrapping Turtle, which is a sketch from Scrapbooks Etc.

So I put the three together and created this:

The journaling is still to come. I need to sit down with Sammy during a quiet moment and find out what he loves best about his puppy. I want it to be in his words.

Thanks for visiting my blog and seeing how inspiration finally hit me.

Layout Inspiration Challenge

This week is my layout challenge week at the Scrapping Turtle. I posted an image to inspire everyone to create a layout. You can view the image and the challenge here, as well as the creations of the other Design Team members.

Here is my layout created for the challenge. I used Bazzill cardstock, Quickutz Cloud border, and papers from Kiki Art and We R Memory Keepers. The tree, fence and hill were handcut from the Kiki Art paper, as were the butterflies.
