2020: Memorial to Joey – Title Page
Working on the Memorial to Spike, our Golden Retriever, who left us in September 2023, reminded me that I had an album and a bunch of pictures of our first cat, Joey, who left us in August of 2020. For some reason I never brought myself to finish this album, and I thought it would be good to do over the Christmas Break, as part of my reflection time for the end of 2023. Joey joined our family at the same time as Spike, in July of 2008, when we moved to Indiana.
I found this 7-later SVG of a cat with a butterfly that looked just like Joey on Etsy, and then used Cricut Design Space to create this Title Page layout. I then cut and drew it out using my Cricut Maker. It took quite a while to put this together because of the intricate design, but I think that it really turned out well. After putting the medallion together, I placed it on top of the background paper with two large torn edge borders, and finally used my sewing machine to stitch the ribbon pattern as a decorative border on the left-hand side of the title page. I created a total of 11 spreads for this Memorial Album for Joey, and I stitched the same border on 9 of them, which is a nice way of tying the whole album together.
