The Year Was 2002

Hello enjoying the day? We are having snow once again! Ugh! so ready for this winter to be over. So I have this bright layout to kick the blues away. The layout came from Day 18 of LOAD it was a Wednesday which the theme is word play. We were to start a page with Once Upon A Time...I seen that prompt and though, sheesh! I already did that one so I compromised and start my journaling block with the sentence. So deciding on what to theme this layout on I came across some photos that should have been scrapped awhile back. Jake our oldest dog that passed away last year in October, this layout centers around the 1st year we got Jake.
This was such a joy to do, all the pictures came from the 1st year we had Jake, he was an older pup but still won our hearts. I used sketch #34 over at the Memory Nest for my layout. I used the sketch the original way and on the opposing page I flipped it:



I worked my layout around the sketch. You can see the sketch with in the layout, but I added more pictures than what the original sketch called for
 The left hand side of the layout has some of the first pictures of Jake he was a playful pup and Dave did enjoy time with him. I used a variety of papers mainly from my dog theme drawer, but the main background paper came from I'm thinking the DCWV Linen Closet pad or the Guilded Paper pad. The alphas came from one dog related sticker sheet and the rest from my kit. The dog dish diecut was in my drawer just waiting for the right layout. The die cut is from Creative Pointe's Dog Elements file
 The right side I carried over the same papers added more stickers to this side and a definition of faithful on clear that got lost on the layout but was stuck to good to lift off  so it stayed right where it was attached.
 Some closer shots of the layout
The journaling block
 He was a great dog for taking care of groundhogs in the yard. My hubby with out facial hair wow is that a blast from the past :)
Thanks for stopping by today, I've got a few more layouts to post from LOAD this upcoming week and I got my current counterfeit kit put together today so I will be showcasing that tomorrow. My scraproom looks like a paper cyclone storm came through from all the crafting this past month so will be putting that away also and need to do my final LOAD layout that shows the stack of layouts I did for LOAD215 seems to be what all the girls do and looking forward to my final count for the month of February... You all have a fantastic day today :)

  1. Cute layout. Nice greens. I have some doggy stories to catch up on too. Looking at this 2 pager, have you tried swapping the left and right? The dot pp on the outsides would add support to bring the eye around in a circle to the center.

  12. This is a super layout and I like the way you#ve used the themed items as well as how you adapted the sketch to suit the photos you had and the double spread. I like the idea that Sherrie offers too.
