It took no time at all to find a bunch of fonts I liked, but I spent the next hour installing them all on my computer. Now I have about 50 new great scrapbooking fonts to choose from. I chose a font and printed out the poem.
I then typed Shadow's name vertically and printed it on a separate sheet of paper. Next I used my paper cutter to cut Shadow's name into a long, narrow strip, and I trimmed the poem leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges (see photo).
With my two sheets of paper ready to glue to the card stock, I saw I really only had room for two photographs. I decided to leave the photos as they were and not use mats this time.
Next I glued the two sheets with the text onto the black card stock. I then inserted the eyelets to accent the corners of the poem (see photo). Last but not least, I glued the photos to the bottom of the page.
Of course you'll want to use another poem for your pet, or maybe write your own! Anything that will evoke fond memories of your favorite pet.
