Anticipation

In my opinion, this photo could win in a contest!!

It is the epitome of LOUISIANA!

This beautiful photo is of

my very dear friend, Diana, 

with their hunting dog, Rebel. 

Diana's husband was my husband's very bestfriend.

They always enjoyed hunting together.

Their favorite was the speckled belly geese.

I just absolutely LOVE this photo!

It's a candid shot taken by Diana's husband with a cell phone!

Rebel is poised in anticipation of his job to retrieve.

Adding fussy-cut flying speckle belly geese images above the photo

gives Rebel a focus on this layout.

Some have foam adhesive underneath to give dimension.

This needed to be a simple layout

so that the wonderful photo could be showcased. 

I printed the photo in 5 x 7 size.

The beautiful large title word is custom ordered from Want2Scrap.

I heat embossed grassy chipboards and also used 

some Prills to accentuate the tops of some.

A small flower arrangement includes light pink to match 

Diana's t-shirt that she's wearing under her camo jacket.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Wishing everyone a Very Happy & Safe New Year!

Pray that 2023 brings needed changes.

Shadowbox Memorial for a dog named Money

 My very dear friend, Kay, asked if I could put something together as a memorial for her precious dog, Money, who passed away at the age of 19 in 2019. 

The shadowbox frame she gave me was black,

so I spray painted it in "Coastal Blue",

because Kay's mother's favorite color was blue.

 Kay gave me a stack of photos to choose from.

I decided to make sure that her mother was part of this memorial

because she loved Money so much!

This shadowbox requires stick pins because the backing

is velvety black on top of styrofoam.

The frame is 11x14, which is larger than the usual 12x12 scrapbook papers that I work with, so I used two pages from the same paper collection with blues (for Kay's Mom's favorite color) and pinks (for Kay's favorite color). 

The Dusty Attic chipboard was more than perfect for this memorial!!

 Lastly, a close up of Money's actual paw print. 

I put a spot of glue in the center to adhere it to

a heart that I made in the same paper collection.

I decorated the heart shape with lace trim.

God.....please bless her sweet heart!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

for viewing Money's Shadowbox Memorial. 

God bless ALL animals, especially those beloved to humans. 

Without our pets, we would be lonely.....

at least that's MY personal belief!

Have a lovely day and please continue to stay safe.

Wooden Hanging Memorial for a dog named Money

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".

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!

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!
