Today, I’m sharing pocket page scrapbooking layouts created with the Penny Black Pocket Treasures collection. These layouts capture memories from early August of our golden retriever, Ginger, who passed away last Friday. She was diagnosed with nasal cancer at Christmas, and every day of the past eight months has been a gift. I can’t begin to express how happy I am that we have these photos celebrating some of our final days with her. These pages will go in an album with the pages I created last month, which were featured in this Scrapbook and Cards Today post. (Scroll to the end of the Scrapbook and Cards Today post for the 6″ x 8″ pocket pages of Ginger.)
I used the 51-007 Tagged die to create a large journaling spot. I cut the number frame from 51-056 Picture This and paired it with a journaling card. Another journaling card is stamped with a sentiment and ledger lines from 30-247 Life’s Journals and cut with one of the dies in 51-053 A Pocket Full set.
I die cut the “love” from 51-052 Texting. I cut the library pocket from 51-053 A Pocket Full. Right now, the pocket holds a ferry ticket, but in time I plan to add a page of handwritten journaling with special memories of Ginger. I stamped the conversation bubble with a stamp from the 30-244 Let’s Chat set and die cut it with a matching die from the 51-053 A Pocket Full set.
What a sweet dog. So sorry about your loss. We lost our beagle in May, it’s so hard. So glad that you have all these sweet memories!
What a beautiful way to honor Ginger! My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. I sure hope they can figure out SOON why Goldens are so prone to cancers!
My medical service dog, Gracie, is also a 10yo golden retriever named Gracie. That smiling grey face of your sweet Ginger, looks so familiar – and just melts my heart every.single.time I see their grins!

Ah, Ginger looks like a wonderful dog. So sorry for your loss! Your layout is just perfect. I love it, and I’m so glad you got those pictures of Ginger when you did!
Jean what a wonderful way to keep your memories of Ginger. It is terribly heart wrenching to lose a furry family member. (sending hugs).
So sorry for your loss, Jean. Animals fill such a special place in our hearts. Hope you can enjoy all the memories you have with her in your time of sadness.
What a lovely tribute to Ginger Jean. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We too loss our beloved Buster a few years back and I still think of him often. Memories are so important and you captured her during a wonderful time of your life. Hugs.
Love your PL Jean!
