New Word for Bird is the Word - BEYOND

The new word for BITW is BEYOND... It may be a bit trickey to use this word, but pop on over to the blog and take a look at the DT layouts and hopefully you will find some inspiration...There is a sketch there too which you may like to use but it is not strictly necessary..

When I was thinking of how I could use the word beyond, a poem came to my mind and then I found a special photo and went with that..

If you have ever lost a dear pet, then perhaps you have heard of the Rainbow Bridge poem but if you haven't you can read about it HERE.. We have had some amazing and much loved pets in our family and one of them was our Labrador cross rotty dog we called Ebony... when she went from our lives she left a big hole.. and somehow I hope there is a rainbow bridge and we will see our special pets again one day... surely there will be animals in Heaven??

BEYOND THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.....

I used a lovely fence and arch from Imaginariam designs chipboard.. and fussy cut the flowers and layered them with foam tape..

I have printed out the Rainbow Bridge poem and put it in a scroll....

I printed out a little bridge and put it behind the chipboard to give the illusion you go under the arch and over the bridge....

I hope you find some inspiration to join in with BITW and as always thank you for coming by and all your lovely comments!!

  1. As soon as I saw this over at BIRD, I thought 'Lizzy has outdone herself' this is just ...my all time fave...the little bridge, those pearls, that chippy frame that draws your eye down....wowsy:):):):)...& most definitely I believe all those we love (& why differentiate between species!!!) we will see again. It just makes sense to me:):):)!!!! LOVELY link to the 'poem' too:):)

  14. Oh Lizzy, this is just BEAUTIFUL. I have never heard of this beautiful poem until now. I am sitting here reading it & not just crying but I am sobbing. This is so beautiful. I lost my little Staffy dog Chloe to cancer, we battled with her, first we had her leg amputated as a malignant tumor appeared, then we had 6 months of chemotherapy for her. I tried desperately to save her but in the end she lost her battle & although it has been eight years, it still effects me greatly. I loved her like you would love a child. Some don't understand this though. In her honour, we went to the pound many months later & adopted another little Staffy who we called Poppy, & we still have her now although she is getting on. We figured, we couldn't save Chloe so we would save another dog from being put down at the pound. Thanks for letting me share this story Lizzy & I LOVE your beautiful layout. A very fitting tribute to your wonderful Ebony.

  22. Lizzie your layouts always amaze me, they are always so unique and beautiful. I really love this tribute to your beautiful dog. One of our first dogs was a Rotty/Lab Cross and he had the most beautiful temperament and character and will always be in my heart. Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful poem to inspire this layout and I love how you have added it with the scroll. xx
