Hi everyone! Welcome to my April Heritage Challenge!

The focus is on pets/animals from long ago.

The idea for this challenge came from a photo I recently found of my DH while I was cleaning out things at his mother's house. Can't believe I had never seen this photo before - it's priceless!

The possibilities are wide open here! I am posting 3 layouts to give you ideas.
The first has the photo I mentioned above.
The second has a photo of my grandfather's goats (and a story to go with it).
The third has a photo of my best/oldest childhood friend and my cat (still working on a title for this one).

The rules are simple:
- Deadline is April 30 at midnight
- Can be paper, digi, or hybrid
- Post your layout to this thread
- A randomly selected winner with receive a $5 ACOT gift card

Now - go have some fun!!!!

LOVE those old photos!!! Will have to do some searching for this one, but love the idea!!!

WONDERFUL photos and layouts!! LOVE this challenge!!

awesome idea! was just going through pics of my mother's that I wanted to copy and saw one of our dogs that has passed with my sister's one dog that is now gone (but the pic isn't that ld - only 2003) - the kids were all so little then! was planning on scrapping thos when ds showed up... might use them now!

Can't wait to see it - whenever it gets done!

It's a busy weekend for everyone! Heading down in about an hour for an Easter brunch with a bunch of friends in our building. Someone actually brought over a tur-duck-en from the US!! YUM!!!!

I finished mine!
This is me and my twin when we were 4 years old on top of old Peanut!

OMG that photo of your dh and the puppy is priceless! That looks like an advertisement or a commercial!

Great layout! I love the pp with the handwriting and the postcard you used for the journaling. And I LOVE the photo of all the cats and chickens!!!!

Here is mine! Awesome challenge! My dad and his dog Cinnamon, hanging out in 1978.

Wish I had access to some old photos. Unfortunately, they are all with my mom for right now.

Well, you just need to get them from her!!!!

here is mine

I wish I had pictures of long ago pets but my sister has all those photos and she won't share them with me! I might just use this challenge to scrap a couple of cats that couldn't make the move with us though...would that count?
