A Tribute to Tooty

A Tribute to Tooty

Yesterday was my baby girl's anniversary and today it is my dear friend Susan's own Tooty's anniversary of 4 years. And as a tribute to her, I used the Lyrics Challenge I am hosting over a Wilma4ever in her memory for Susan. I used the same lyrics again, that speaks volumes of the heartwrenching pain felt when letting them go. Though it is the greatest gift we can give to them, it doesn't stop it from hurting like hell when we do.

RIP dear Tooty.

I hope you like it, dear friend. I didn't have many photos of Toot and I spent more time searching my files for a different one than I did in making the page! lol

I used a combination of  Tootypup Scraps' "Dog Paws in Heaven" and "Cat Paws in Heaven" which you can find in her stores.

A Tribute to Sheba with the Lyrics Challenge

A Tribute to the Sheba

Six years ago today we bid our girl, Sheba - a staffy cross red heeler - farewell as she crossed Rainbow Bridge. And as a tribute to her, I used the Lyrics Challenge I am hosting over a Wilma4ever to celebrate her memory. Her smiling face, her playfulness and her complete adoration and loyalty were things we loved, treasured and will never forget about her.

These lyrics speak of the heartwrenching pain felt when letting them go. Though it is the greatest gift we can give to them, it doesn't stop it from hurting like hell when we do.

RIP dear sweet Sheba, and may you run forever free...until we meet again.

I used a combination of  Tootypup Scraps' "Dog Paws in Heaven" and "Cat Paws in Heaven" which you can find in her stores.

Happy Birthday, Matt

:: SURPRISE CHALLENGE ::

Today is my brother's 41st birthday and he is lucky to be enjoying it with his family in Hawaii. SO for something different, I decided to undertake the Surprise Challenge, which I am also hosting, with a layout on my brother.

This month the theme is ALL ABOUT ME, in which you can scrap yourself or a loved one, using the letters of your/their name to describe you/them.  Each of these words describe my brother perfectly.

So what IS the Surprise Challenge?

Basically, it's what it says - a surprise! Every month we are challenged with something different. The theme can be anything we like (unless it is there is already a specific theme), the style anything, the kit we use anything (though it must use Wilma4ever products) - basically, it is anything goes!

It's a lot of fun AND there is a participation prize at the end of the month for all those who take part! And sometimes that can be a FULL kit, to a sampler to a coupon for anything in store!

Some come and take part and join in the fun!

A Dog Smiles with it's Tail

:: QUOTE CHALLENGE ::

This gorgeous layout features my 9 and a half year old staffy girl, Ciara, who has the hugest smile to match her huge heart! She has brought me years of joy and is the most intuitive dog I have met. She knows when I am down, she knows when I am sick, she knows where it hurts and she licks the exact place to ease the pain.

This month in the Quote Challenge I am hosting, I provided two doggy-related quotes for participants to scrap or tag their beloved canine companions. This particular quote sums up staffies in general quite aptly, and is perfect for my girl.

So what IS the Quote Challenge?

Every month a quote is chosen and the challenge is to make a layout (or a tag if you wish) featuring the quote. The theme can be anything we like, the style anything, the kit we use anything (though it must use Wilma4ever products) - basically, it is anything goes! As long as you use the quote.

A Dog's Eyes Layout

:: QUOTE CHALLENGE ::

This gorgeous layout features my 3 year bundle of energetic joy, Dexter, whom I fondly refer to as having "dem eyes" - because one look and they can make you melt.

This month in the Quote Challenge I am hosting, I provided two doggy-related quotes for participants to scrap or tag their beloved canine companions. This particular quote sums up most dogs quite aptly, but none more so than Dexter. My gosh, I have never seen a dog with melting moment eyes like his! lol

So what IS the Lyrics Challenge?

Every month a song is chosen and the lyrics shared in the forum thread. The challenge is to make a layout (or a tag if you wish) featuring any part of the lyrics. The theme can be anything we like, the style anything, the kit we use anything (though it must use Wilma4ever products) - basically, it is anything goes! As long as we use any part or all of the lyrics.

I Love my Dog Layouts

To support my bud, Susan of Tootypup Scraps, who is hosting the Tag Colour Challenge over at the Wilma4ever forum I had used the second palette she provided and created these tagger sized layouts featuring my precious babies. 

In the first one is Ciara when she was just 3 years old, not long after I adopted her. As you can see she is so full of life and cheekiness and playfulness.  In the second one is Dexter who is always so serious for photos...lol

So what is the Tag Colour Challenge?

It's basically where a colour palette of maybe one, two or several colours is provided where participants make a tag using those colours and/or any products available from the Wilma4ever store (which feature those colours). 

Susan provided two palettes - this is the second one. So I created a layout featuring both my "Purple Paws" and "Wags n' Whiskers" kits, which I recoloured slightly to match the palette..

So come on over to the forum and take part in the Tag Colour Challenge

It's a Dog's World!

In support of my bestest bud, Susan of Tootypup Scraps, I have taken part in her Tag Colour Challenge this month in which she provides two gorgeous palettes. I create stunning tag of my two precious babies, Dexter and Ciara. I then made one for Susan featuring her baby, Tiki.

So what is the Tag Colour Challenge?

It's basically where a colour palette of maybe one, two or several colours is provided where participants make a tag using those colours and/or any products available from the Wilma4ever store (which feature those colours). 

Susan provided two palettes - one featuring a pooch and the other featuring a cat. I, of course, opted for the doggy one. *s*  And I created a tag featuring my "Wags n' Whiskers" kit, which is very similar to the palette provided.

What Will Be Your Legacy? - Week 2 @ Wilma4ever

August is recognized as What Will Be Your Legacy? month. It was founded by motivational speaker and novelist, Martha J. Ross-Rodgers, in honor of her mother.

Scrapbooking is a huge way to leave a legacy for future generations. What do your scrapbooks say about you? Will your great-grandchildren know who you are and how you lived your life?

This month we will be creating a layout a week to help not only advance your scrapping art form, but transform you into a “LEGACY LEAVER” for future generations!

Week 2: Aug 10-16

- Take a few minutes and make a list of 10 words that describe you, not what others think but what YOU think describes you!

- Now using that word list create a one page layout that will be like a love letter to yourself about yourself to remind you of how unique, amazing, and imperfectly perfect you are!

- Include at least one photo of yourself

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I used my "The Blue Butterfly" kit, as blue is my favourite colour so I thought it reflected me quite well for this challenge. And the ten words I listed, I chose those for each letter of my name. However, as there are only 9 letters in my name, I added an S for my surname to make up the 10. All the photos are all selfies, interestingly enough...lol

"The Blue Butterfly" can be purchased here

What Will Be Your Legacy? - Week 4 @ Wilma4ever

August is recognized as What Will Be Your Legacy? month. It was founded by motivational speaker and novelist, Martha J. Ross-Rodgers, in honor of her mother.

Scrapbooking is a huge way to leave a legacy for future generations. What do your scrapbooks say about you? Will your great-grandchildren know who you are and how you lived your life?

This month we will be creating a layout a week to help not only advance your scrapping art form, but transform you into a “LEGACY LEAVER” for future generations!

Week 4: Aug 24-31

- Using a HEART SHAPE as your focus, create a 1 page layout that expresses

where your heart lies

- Use the Title "Where My Heart Is..."

- Reflect on where your own heart lies...

What gifts do you have that you could be sharing with others

What do you think about when you daydream?

Where could you serve that would make a difference?

What in your everyday life inspires you to give back?

When I saw this theme, I just KNEW what I would scrap!

And where my heart is so will be my legacy...

My babies - Ciara and Dexter in the heart, and my two angel babies now at Rainbow Bridge, Sheba and Jasper.

Featuring my "Show the Wuv" kit which can be purchased here
