We brought you home, and you have been amazed by all the smells, noises, toys, a yard to play in, a soft blanket, laps to sit in, and tons of hugs and kisses. Welcome to your new world ~ Chewbacca Barnett Kruse.

We had thirteen years of unending laughs. There isn’t one day that goes by when I don’t think back to the day in March when we let the two of you go. You both were tired and sad. You had been such great friends to us and to each other. You loved to play and snuggle with each other. It was only fitting that the two of you should leave us, together. It was hard to let you go, but on that day you both knew and were content. You were together until the end, and the last thing you saw were the faces of those who loved you. Thank you for ever year; you will always be in our hearts and rest well “our good and faithful servants.”

Piggy Tales...Becky Higgin's sketch project

2007-01-11T16:29:00.000-08:00

I am always inspired by the amazing Becky Higgin's and her sketches. This sketch was perfect for these pictures and papers...so here was my inspiration.

PP, chipboard letters, & file tab: Piggy Tales Goldilocks and the 3 Bears Collection
Other: Technique Tuesday stamps & InkXpressions Black ink, buttons & raffia, Zig pen – black, black brads, DSP Polyanna font
Fun tips: I used the negative and positive formats of the chipboard letters to create part of the title. I wanted to leave as much “white” space as possible, so I placed the journaling in the brackets on the right side of the LO. For one portion of the small pictures, I took one large picture and divided it into sections, making sure not to cut through the face. So the picture on the bottom left of the right side is sectioned, but not in 2x2 squares.

Journaling: Benjamin, you wear many hats and have such amazing facial expressions. Looking at you there are endless things that can be seen in your face. There is optimism and energy in your smile and a sparkle in your eyes. Your face can be serious, but there is always a glow of contentment that shines through. Most of all, looking at you I see joy!
