A very dear friend's dog named "Money" passed in 2019 at the age of 19.
Money was an Australian Shepherd
and as sweet as the day is long!
Her owner, my dear friend, Kay, was such a fabulous caretaker for her.
Kay asked for a Memorial for her precious furbaby,
so she gave me a stack of photos to choose from.
My wonderful friend, Danny, put together three boards that he white washed
and even put the hanger on the back!
This serves as the base for the Wall Hanging Memorial of Money.
All frames are size 5x7, so each photo was enlarged to fit.
I opted to leave the frames white and use pops of color
through embellishments and flowers.
Starting with the top left corner and going around the memorial in a
clockwise fashion, here are explanations of each element.
Baby Girl
Kay referred to Money as "Baby Girl".
I chose to use this nickname with this adorable photo of Money
when she was very young and small.
The words "baby girl" are coated in Liquid Pearls color "Flamingo"
and then "Cotton Candy" Stickles help tone down the color.
The paw prints are paint brushed with Tim Holtz Distress Inks
"Weathered Wood" and "Fired Brick" (on the hearts only).
A pretty flower arrangement with a flourish underneath
dress the other side of the frame.
The mini hearts are paint brushed with TH Distress Ink color "Worn Lipstick" and then topped with several coats of other colors until it looked good to my eyes.
These are the other colors I used.....
TH's "Weathered Wood" and ColorBox "Shabby Pink".

Just to the right of "Baby Girl" are some embellishments that I hot-glued directly onto the wood board. These separate the top two framed photos.
Two Paw Prints are paint brushed in gray with red hearts.
The gorgeous butterfly is one of my most faves by ReneaBouquets!

The next framed photo of Money just made me think "PRECIOUS"!
AWWW! Bless her sweet heart!
For this one, I chose to decorate it with magenta & blues.
The paw print heart, the word precious & the heart in the center of the paw print
are heat embossed in Blue Fern Studios EP color "Fuchsia".
The arrows & the paw print are inked in deep navy blue "Night Sky".
I chose some really unique and gorgeous butterflies for this frame.
They are by ReneaBouquets and are named "Mosaic Tile".
A close up shows you how detailed this beauty is!

I glued it to the board.

Now for Money's collars.
The pink, large one was worn for many years
and the very small red one, when she was young.
Kay kept every single rabies tag!
The easiest way to hang these are by a cup hook.
In the center I hot-glued a red paw print heart to the wood.

Next is such a perfectly beautiful photo to show you.
This one I titled "Sweet".
Such a gorgeous dog with a personality to match!
Varying colors of pinks, blues & yellows look great with this photo.
ReneaBouquets butterflies match perfectly with Money's colors!
The Heart Swirly & the word "Sweet" are heat embossed with Blue Fern Studios EP color "Pink Peppermint", which is a pretty pink with red specks.
Pretty coordinating flowers,
especially the pink Prima ones just make this frame so feminine!

Next is Money's play ball.
After thinking and then searching...
I came up with a way to include Money's beloved ball on this memorial!
I had a white organza gift bag that was a perfect fit to hold the ball!
To dress it up a bit, I sprayed it with Lindy's Gang
Starburst spray "Cotton Candy Pink".
Then I adhered hot pink glitter shapes to make it really pop!
(note: this ball glows in the dark...awwwww)
The last framed photo, but by no means the least important,
is a wonderful photo of Money.
Such a gorgeous girl!
I wanted Money's name to glisten....
ReneaBouquet's moths are beyond stunning!
I love these because of the pink glitter glass on them!
They look fabulous with Money's colors!
Also, the white rose is paint-brushed with
Lindy's Starburst (retired color) Gregarious Gray.
A beautiful centering of flowers for this precious girl!
