Favourite Animal at AYLI


Morning All!! A second visit this week with animals as the theme.

 Today at As You Like It Challenge we would love to see your projects featuring your favourite animal, remember to tell us why too.

No prizes for guessing mine but bear with while I tell you why...

I love all animals (perhaps not mice though!!) but horses and ponies will always have a special place in my heart. My love for them was inherited from my Paternal Grandfather (Pop) who worked with them. I am sharing a scrapbook page showcasing my favourite picture of me and my beloved Surprise. I thought it was about time that I used some 12x12 papers from my stash instead of  looking at them!! I was shocked when I realised that this photograph was taken fifteen years ago.



 Here is the whole layout


I thoroughly enjoyed putting this page together, it is a bit primitive, but not a bad effort I thought!!
 Thank you Marianne for sharing your pages...you inspired me to have a go!!

Have a good weekend when it comes. We are due more wild weather I think so it might be an indoors crafty kind of weekend here!!

See you soon xx

Certainly not primitive, Sarah! We prefer the word "classic," right? It's clear to see that it evokes a lot of emotion and that's what scrapbook pages are supposed to do. Surprise is a beautiful animal!! Hugs, Darnell

A lovely page Sarah. In fact, you've made me wonder whether to take scrapbooking up just to use some of my vast array of papers up x

A lovely photo, layout and very pretty papers too. I am also guilty of not using some that I really love, but that's what they're there for, and if you can use them on a photo you love, then even better. A lovely memory page. xx

What a lovely layout, Sarah. Makes me want to jump and start scrapbooking again. I'm so behind! I have such pretty papers that I purchased with layouts in mind and they're all just sitting in a couple of drawers. Thank you for the inspiration.
