THE BEST BUDDY EVER

Tomorrow would have been my own very special Crafting Buddies birthday. He would have been 21 yrs old. I try to make a scrapbook page for each memorable occasion and this one is for his K & Co book.
The photo was one of the last we took of Toby in the motorhome. He is curled up on the pillows in the sunshine.
I used some of that massive stock of flowers I made - only 2 left now.

The swirl stamp is one of Tim's which goes really well with this layout.

Sorry about the picture quality of some of these.

I cut out the pattern from one of the papers and used 3D foam to mount it down the side of the page.
So even though my little pal isn't sat on my knee while I craft, he is in my heart where he will stay forever.

Now, Mr Linky has stopped playing with me so if you leave a comment after you have posted about your crafting buddy this week, I will pop along and link it up for you.

Here is Lindsay's little buddy Thomas, playing with his new craft tool!!!!LOL

  2. Happy birthday to Toby tomorrow...he'll be purring especially loudly up there to make sure that you hear him. The layouts are gorgeous and, as Gez says, the colours are stunning.
    I've put a couple of pics of Thomas on my blog - though he's not exactly crafting! Lindsay x x x

  4. This is a lovely layout and lovely tribute to the memory of your Toby. I love my crafting buddies too. It always brings a smile when one of them comes in and swipes his paw to send a stamp sailing across the room. Hugs to you!
