The story

Mom has an adorable Cairn terrier named Raleigh. When I go to visit them in North Carolina, Raleigh and I spend a lot of quality time together snuggling and taking walks. He loves me, and I him. One day while I was there this past September, he needed to go for his afternoon walk while it was raining lightly. Did he need to wear his little rain jacket that day? Not strictly speaking, no. But I certainly couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be seen walking with such a dapper partner, could I?

Product/technique notes

I used patterned papers from Jillibean Soup and Doodlebug Design and designed the title and cut it on the Silhouette.

I love, love, love using vintage photos from my mom’s attic. The precious ones on this layout are from the late 1960s, when I was a tiny baby and my brother was still baking in Mom’s oven. 😉 They highlight my parents’ relationship with Snoopy, the beagle they adopted before starting to have us kids. You can tell with certainty that they were ready to be parents, can’t you? I mean, just look at how my dad has him swaddled in two of the photos. Darling much?

Mom and Dad had a darling beagle named Snoopy before they started having children. Can you tell they were ready to be parents?

I created this layout based on this sketch that I found at the Sketch Support site.
