This is so awesome!!! You do wonderful tribute pages. And you are right, impossible not to smile when looking at that face. Thanks for sharing these wonderful stories with us. You truly do beautiful work!
WHAT A NEAT LO AND STORY, Karen!!! I LOVE IT!!! I hope you will send a copy of this to Jon and Marie....They will probably love it just as much as we do here!!! HUGS!
great fun...love the design of the various patterned squares and rectangles framing the sweet photo of Lenore. I like the different fonts you used for the title, and the heart bg paper is perfect! xx
Wow! I LOVED reading the description for your page, and the page is also a great source of inspiration! Love all the little squares and accents! What a treasure!
I love your description and hope you put the whole thing down on paper and tuck it in with the layout! What a fantastic story! And the dog... oh yeah.... I have a black lab too... so you can imagine how I am feeling looking at that sweet face ... AND smiling!!!!! Love the page! Fun colors and blocks too!
Your story is fabulous and the layout is just awesome. I love everything about it. Great job with papers and embellies. What a special dog. So glad we have such wonderful creatures on this earth.
What a lovely LO for a lovely dog. Her personality just shines in this photo, and you've showcased her beautifully. I love all the little "not quite inchies" you've used. This is really REALLY cute!
It is touching how you love dogs. Do you have one? This is so sweet. Yes Lenore brings a smile to my face. I think labs are the sweetest dogs. Love the photo and love the bright colors you used. Beautiful layout and story.
what an absolutely wonderful layout! And of course I am smiling.. how can you miss with that sweet sweet face? Love your colors, love that you used that valentine pp in such a creative way...as always your design is outstanding...of course this is a fav
I have such a soft spot for black labs and Lenore is beautiful! I love how you used her color to bring the hot reds into your layout, and the little touch of green is perfection. Another fabulous design Karen, and it is so nice to have you back with your lovely layouts and thoughtful comments.
This is my second LO in the Dogs of Bedlam Farm series. Bedlam Farm in upstate New York, is the home of author Jon Katz. Jon writes beautiful books about his life with dogs and I follow his blog faithfully. www.bedlamfarm.com/blog/
Jon is also a talented photographer and over the years, I've come to know and love his dogs, both through his writing and his photos. Lenore and one of Jon's Border Collies, Izzy, frequently accompany him on book signings, etc. He doesn't seem to mind at all that they get more attention than he does!
So....let me introduce you to Lenore, the beautiful Black Lab, who literally brought LOVE back into Jon's life when he needed it most. He quite often refers to her as "The Hound of Love" and other endearing names.
Lenore can charm the socks off any human or creature. The story and photos of her romance with a sheep (ram) named Brutus drew so many hits, it crashed Jon's website for a day or two! Jon credits Lenore with teaching his very serious and hyper-vigilant Border Collie, Rose, how to play and lighten up.
Lenore, like Jon's dog Izzy, is a trained Hospice Volunteer. Frequently on his blog, Jon will post a photo of Lenore like this one and dares his readers to look at her sweet face and NOT smile. Believe me, it's impossible!
Mostly, Lenore spends her time on the farm posing for Jon, begging for treats, looking for disgusting things to eat, bathing in muddy creeks, and working her special magic to charm sheep, donkeys, barn cats, her canine siblings, and all human beings.
Jon and his fiance Maria will be married this summer on the farm and Lenore will be a member of the wedding party. I'll bet she steals the show (and some wedding cake)!
Thanks for looking! Karen
