Two page pet layout "Winter Sprint"

I have really been enjoying the light covering of fresh snow we've received over the last few weeks. Today, it's disappearing again. I enjoy winter for the most part. Everything looks prettier when it's dusted with snow!

Our adopted greyhound loves the snow! These pictures are from a year ago. My son, Jacob, was home for the weekend from BSU. He and my hubby took Riley to the dog park and had a blast. I printed some in black and white for a change. It gave me a fun opportunity to embellish with colorful snowflakes. =)

Left: My favorite picture of them running off into the distance. A great shot!! It looks like Jacob had a head start.

Right:  Riley's tongue tells the story of all the sprinting he did that day. He ran so fast, his coat was literally flapping in the beeze behind him.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! Are you doing any fun crafting this weekend? I am still hoping to get in a few Valentines cards. I have some ideas floating around in my head. As always, it's more a matter of getting all of my stuff out and just getting started. I can do this!!! =)

Callie (our grand-puppy)

Happy Thursday! I thought it would be appropriate to post a layout that I did recently of our new grandpuppy. She's not this tiny anymore...just like babies, they grow up fast. Callie is having some minor surgery today and I've been thinking about her. She's an Australian Cattle dog and is still super cute and spunky.

The pennant flag was cut with Cricut's Celebrations cartridge. The little red clothespins were just the ticket. (supply list at the bottom of this post).

I loved the dog bone paper and the doggie words. This is the first scrapbook page that I've done featuring a dog and I was pretty excited to see all the cool doggy paper out there!  I don't think I ever featured our own beloved dog on a page. I wasn't scrapbooking as much at that time. I may have to go back and dig up some old pictures of Chase (an adopted greyhound) so that I can honor his memory with a scrapbook page. 

Callie has been such a hoot to be around. It's fun watching her get bigger every time my son and daughter-in-law bring her over. Hope that you are inspired to scrapbook about your pet (or grand-puppy...LOL!).
