Fur Fun in the
Sunshine Everyone is so
excited to see
the warmer
summer weather
return after the
blustery winter
and soggy
spring. The
whole family,
right down to
the fur babies,
rush to get into
the warmth of
the sunshine.
The artists
highlighted in
this month’s
article showcase
the different
ways that their
babies enjoy the
summer
sunshine. Even
my two
side-kicks,
Rover and
Fluffy, get
their dander up
over the thought
of finding their
spot of
sunshine!

Rover’s
notes: Gotta love the star of this layout! A puppy who’s
found
his
forever
home,
taking a
break
from fun
and
posing
for a
photo
shoot in
the
sunshine!

Design notes: Journaling
doesn't have
to mean
sentences
and
paragraphs
of
information
(although in
some cases
this is
needed to
tell the
full story).
In my page,
I opted for
a checklist
of
bullet-points,
focusing
solely on
the
qualities
and traits
that have
made my
family fall
in love with
our rescue
puppy. I
think this
has as much
impact as
sentences,
and yet it
doesn't
distract
from the dog
herself,
which is who
I wanted to
feature.
Also, when
doing a
series of
photos on a
page, I
really like
to keep all
but one
picture
black &
white or
sepia toned;
the focus
picture I
like to keep
in color for
more impact.

Editor's
notes: Nothing shouts summer like a warm, comfy cat basking
in the
sunshine!
Crystal
captures
a summer
moment
when her
cat is
doing
just
that.
The bold
title
overlapping
the
photos
is what
initially
drew me
to the
layout.
It’s the
contented
look on
the
cat’s
face
that won
me over.

please.

Rover’s
note: My heart bleeds for Jonah, how wonderful that he found a forever home, and was granted such joy! I really like how the human artist added a bit of whimsy to the story with the fun, funky border.

Design notes: This is Jonah, a German Shepherd mix. He was one of my favorite clients to dog sit when I lived in Oregon. In the list of his attributes I should add "lonely." Jonah was an outside dog and received very little love or attention from his owners. He was one of the smartest dogs I've ever worked with. He could carry three tennis balls in his mouth and drop them one at a time on command. He was a fast learner and did not require treat training. He LOVED attention. When the owner suffered a mild heart attack, they decided to get rid of Jonah. I asked if I could find a new home for him and they agreed. I knew a young family who already had two dogs and three active kids. It was love at first sight for all of them! Jonah lived the rest of his days as a housedog, lavished with love and all the attention he craved. I got to see him often! The only problem his new owners encountered with Jonah was keeping him off the soccer field during the kids' games!! Jonah died last year.
