Hi there! I am sorry for the loss of your pet. I know it is heartbreaking. My little guy was just diagnosed with cancer so I know how you feel! How nice that you are putting together a scrapbook! My advice would be to keep it simple, and only buy exactly what you will use for this project. Don't buy things just because they're cute and you might use them someday! Many of us here have closets full of stuff like that <wink>! Maybe choose an album first. 8" x 8" is a user friendly size because you can buy 8.5" x 11" cardstock packs and cut the paper to size. Pick up some cute stickers...so many cute choices out there...and maybe some dog-themed sheets of design paper. Stick with a few coordinating colors and you are good to go! For example, for my dog I will use red, black, kraft and white for the pages and photo mats. This way the project won't overwhelm you and you will actually get it done! Some of the craft stores sell little notepad size packs of dog themed quotes which you can use. Maybe add your furbaby's tags, too. I hope you have lots of happy memories while you work on this tribute. Hugs to you!
Hello Stampers :D
