Memory Makers Magazine May Blog Bounce

Hello and welcome to another Memory Makers Magazine Blog Bounce!

This month our blog bounce is all about the people/things/events that shape us and make us who we are today.  If you have been following in order, you should have hopped on over from Wendy's blog.  If not, don't worry!  You can go to the Memory Makers Magazine blog and begin the blog bounce, or you can continue on and find your way back around.  Hope you enjoy the bounce!

So as some of you may be able to guess, one of the biggest "things" to impact my life is my furbaby, Fluffy.  She came into our lives when she was just a few months old, in 2004.  I definitely cannot imagine my life without her!

I drew inspiration from this PageMaps blog sketch - I love this sketch and see myself using it again, changing it up even just a little bit!

There's a bit of punching and stitching going on here. :)  The journaling reads:  "As soon as we brought you home (really as soon as I looked into those sweet little eyes), my life forever changed.  My sweet puppy Fluff. :)" I don't know what I'd do without her!  And this picture.. well.. this picture always makes me smile!  She looks so funny in it. :)

The flower in the corner of the photo was created by ripping a strip of Designer Fabric, then twisting it and rolling it around in a circle.  I used Crystal Effects to hold it together, and to attach it to the layout itself.

My flags were created by first cutting a rectangle of Designer Series Paper, then inserting the edge into the corner of the Curly Label Punch.  Doesn't it make such a cool edge?  Love it!

Your next stop on the blog bounce is Lisa's blog.  Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the rest of the bounce!
