Beautiful Customer Project: Must Love Dogs!

Hello, Memory Bound friends!
 If you've got a pet (or three) in your life, you'll love today's post. I recently had the privilege of looking through a beautiful project made by our customer, Laura Armantrout. This is an altered book honoring the dogs who have been part of her life over the years. Laura shared her project at last month's Mixed Media Happy Hour. (If you'd like to start your own altered book, read more about this fun group HERE!)

Laura started with a book called Must Love Dogs. She altered the cover and many of the pages using a variety of creative mixed media techniques.

  
As you can see, she incorporated tags and other special memorabilia.


Laura's project includes beautiful details such as pockets, vintage photos, quotations, and hand stitching.
 

There are pages for each of Laura's dogs, including a journaling card with information about each one.
 

  Laura found creative ways to add each dog's name to the pages. And since this book is about dogs, she circled words in the text which were significant to her. 
 

She incorporated favorite photos and dog tags.
 

Each page of Laura's book is a work of art!
 

In looking through her Laura's project, I could feel the love she has for her dogs!
 

Here are two wonderful photos from Laura's project.
 

Thank you to Laura for sharing her amazing altered book with us!
