My soulmate...

I have bits and pieces of the Rover collection from Bella Blvd that I have been saving and I also had this super special photo of me and Bentley that I'd been waiting on the perfect inspiration to scrapbook.

In November last year, Bentley got very sick. Long story short, I raced him to the emergency vet where he stayed two nights and the final bill was $3200. Unfortunately we didn't really get a lot of answers, so I am sort of walking on egg shells still to this day, but the good news is he has not had any further episodes and seems to be his old self again. Emphasis on old because he is about seven years old now - but he's always going to be my baby!

So my inspiration for this page finally came from a quote on Facebook I saw today on National Dog day. It said, "Some soulmates have wet noses." I used my typewriter to type out my own sort of interpretation of the quote to add to the page. It may be hard to see in the photo, but it says, "My soulmate has four paws and a cold nose."

Importantly, I used up quite a bit of my Bella Blvd collection! Khristina has a Facebook challenge right now involving a spending freeze + a challenge to use your scraps so that was motivation to use up one of my most favorite Bella Blvd collections!

I loosely followed the August 27 sketch at The Studio Challenges. My version of the sketch is rotated on its side and I added three little embellishment clusters.

Thanks for looking!
