"Pawsitively Adorable"
Supplies - Cardstock: American Crafts; Patterned paper: We R Memory Keepers; Stickers: We R Memory Keepers; Alphabets: My Little Shoebox and American Crafts; Ink: Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink; Dog bone clips: unknown; Embroidery floss: DMC
Variation #1 - The biggest change I made for this layout is the pictures. All of the photos that I wanted to use were vertical 4 x 6" photos instead of the suggested horizontal 6 x 4" photos.
On the left page I had to make sure that I didn't lose the space for the title so I lowered the picture. I also added a photo mat to help that photo stand out. Because the width of the photo is the same as the strip behind it (4") it looked a little odd and the picture was getting a little lost. The mat was an easy solution.
On the right page I didn't need to do much since the two 4 x 6" photos filled the space of the photos on the sketch very closely. There is a slight difference in both the height (a 1" difference) and width (a 2" difference) but it isn't enough to need to adjust anything to fit the differences.
Variation #2 - I switched the title/embellishment up a little. I moved the embellishment (the hearts on the sketch) to the left of the title (the paws). The banner came down low enough on the top right side near the picture that I didn't want to cover it up with an embellishment.
Variation #3 - I pretty much followed the same banner as on the sketch but I added in a few dog bone clips to fit the theme of my layout. I also used dog paws in place of the hearts on the sketch.
Be sure to check back Friday for the last layout I have created based on the free March sketch and then Monday to see who has won the download giveaway.

Love this layout! Your boys are super cute!
as usual, I love the stitching. Also, wish I knew how you made the squiggle by the word woof. Jackson made a cute puppy dog. Mary Ann
Love how you switched up the picture orientation, I always have such a hard time veering away from the original sketch.
I think my favorite thing about this are those cute paperclips! And the placement on them of the banner is fantastic! I also like the extra, smaller strips of paper on the banner too. Good use of 4x6 photos, too. I love this!
Nice job, you are so creative, Allison! I always enjoy your work. Thanks for the free sketch :)

What an adorable layout and a fabulous title!
Thank you so much for the nice comments everyone! The girl who painted Jackson's face was so sweet. That design wasn't even on her poster of options but she did what he wanted anyway.
Mary Ann, I totally forgot to put that in my supply list! It's from a set of puppy stickers from Doodlebug. It is actually part of a larger corner flourish and I just cut off the little piece I needed for my page. :)
Too cute for words!!!
I love the simplicity of your layouts, yet the details that you add that create such wonderful finished products
Yup, I need to get working on some layouts. I have a crop coming up - great time to work!
Everything about this layout is cute!
