A Dream Come True

Good Morning .....I wanted to share a layout I did for this months challenge at SEM, Challenge #27 All God's Creatures...they wanted you to do a layout inspired by our pets...I had a hard time because I know I had the perfect picture with three of them together but I just couldn't seem to find it!
So I did the next best thing I used my favorite picture of my sweet Nova ( you see her in almost all of my profile pictures LOL)
It started about 9 years ago....we already had a family dog Xena (his family) and a family cat Cutie(my family) we met fell in love then combined families...we weren't sure if they would like each other...but as it turns out they were close even slept together...Fast forward 7 years add one new kitty,a rough patch and the loss of cutie then a huge move many many states away....we talked again about getting a puppy ...better yet a small dog...that's what we agreed on a small dog..then a chance encounter lead us to a litter of pups just eight weeks old...that same day we brought home Nova a beautiful Black Lab (so much for  a small dog LOL) she has been such a blessing especially the last couple of month,she is my constant companion ...she does not judge... she is always there to comfort me!She makes me smile even when I feel like crying... I can't even put in to words what she means to me! She truly is something special!

now onto my layout....

I really did try to keep this short LOL...
I used the color palette from My Sweet Earth and the challenge requirement from scrap for help which was to use a book page.....this is what I came up with:
Scrap twist for Scrapping Everyday Miracles:USE AN ANIMAL RELATED QUOTE/SAYING OR EVEN A BIBLE VERSE ON YOUR PROJECT.
Here is my Quote: He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. -Unknown

 the page is from an old cook book....I washed it over with a bit of paint and water....in the light it has a light blue shimmer to it...

 Make sure you head over to Scrapping Everyday Miracles and enter into this months challenge All God's Creatures!

thank you so much for coming to take a peek at my page!
