the Last Day

These are photos of my collie, Lexie, from November 10, 2009. This was the last day of her life. It's been rough working with these pictures, even though she's been gone over 5 years now. I did this and one other LO of her this week. I still have a couple more to do with photos of her with us that day.

The journaling is about the change in her condition and the conversation I had with her vet. I'm not typing it out here because it's sad and depressing, but I believe it's clear enough to read if you click on the photo if anyone wants to. I printed it directly on the cardstock using the font Avery's Hand.

I wanted to keep this simple - embellishments felt inappropriate - but I also wanted to give it the care the subject deserves. I used an old PageMaps sketch for the design. I drew the double heart on scrap paper to go with the doodle-look pp, then used it as a guide to poke holes for stitching. I also did a few cross stitches on the edges of the white blocks to add another detail. I outlined all the photos with a black Sharpie.

This is my example for my February Four Categories Challenge - Category Four ~ Theme: Love. LO's must include the word 'love' somewhere on them. I have the large 'i love you' sticker at the bottom. The twist is to include a heart on the LO.

This is also for the February Sewing Challenge with the twist of a stitched heart.

Also a VLB challenge to stitch on a LO.
