Charlie Went to Heaven

        When my sister, Lianne's family dog, Charlie,  passed away,  I wanted to do something special for her family.  The idea of a mini album within a sympathy card came to me.  The first step I did was to go on Lianne's and her husband, Mike's  Facebook page and print out and mat some of the photos of Charlie that they were posting.  ( To place in the inside of the card. )  Then I began designing the front of the card.  I thought of some words that most people think about their pets.  I came up with: Forever, Loved, Adored and Unforgettable .  I also added some journaling; the date and Charlie went to Heaven.  My sister's response was very touching.  Lianne was very thankful for the  "Remembrance" (as she called it) card of Charlie and that she will keep it forever.  There is no better complement then that.  Thank you Lianne.

Let's Get Sketchy September Week 2

Hi!    Fall is in the air here in the South,  The days are getting shorter and the nights are much cooler.  It reminds me of living in New Hampshire.   So, I decided to take Let's Get Sketchy September Week 2's  Challenge back to when I lived in New Hampshire.  Where my family would go Apple Picking every year.  The photos I used in the layout are of when my son, Sky, was 4, my daughter, Ashley was only a few months old, and me.  They bring back so many  happy memories of a simpler time.    Thank you Jenessa Franco for  the inspiring sketch that you designed for this week's challenge.  It really helped my page come together.   I hope you enjoy my interpretation and thank you all for dropping by.  Have a lovely weekend.
