Blossom - Mixed Media Canvas

Hello Everyone

Last month I lost my sweet dog Blossom...she was only 16 months old.  It was a real blow to our family and it was so hard to accept her death.  However, a month on and I am now able to think of all the happy times she gave us!! She is still terribly missed and will always have a special place in our hearts.

I created this canvas for her.  It's kinda messy....but that's Blossom to a T! ;-)


She so loved playing with her toys and they were always spread out over the garden.  These photo's were taken in Jan...Johann and Joe were playing with her.


I used the BoBunny Happy Tails collection, which is still a favourite of mine!


A close-up of the journalling.


She added such a breath of fresh air to our family! She will be sorely missed!


Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a super day!

    So sorry to hear about you losing your precious Blossom Denise. Pets can make such an impact on our lives and it's always tragic when they leave us. :( Your canvas is gorgeous and I totally love the 'messiness' about it. Take care. :) xx

    I was sorry to hear about your loss...and I am sure you found therapy in making this canvas to honour her life.

    Oh Denise, I'm so sorry to read about the death of your darling Blossom. It's a shocking thing for all the family and especially for the children. I remember bawling like a Baby when our dogs died. They leave such a hole in one's heart. Your page, in honour of your furry friend, is just gorgeous. Bright, fun and I love the big paw prints. Hugs x

    Oh, that's awful. Even after just 16 months they have well and truly wormed their way into our hearts! Lovely canvas, though. Especially LOVE the dog prints!!!

    It is always hard to lose a pet no matter how long you have had them even when you are expecting it. They creep into our hearts so fast. I am glad that you are feeling a little better and I know how devastated you were at the time. Such a lovely layout to remember he by and the messy look is perfect for a puppy that is all over the place. Love this layout and the photos are so precious.
