This week's challenge is brought to you by Kerry:
The Art of Racing in the Rain
By Garth Stein
Surprise surprise, the book I chose for this challenge is Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain. This has been by far one of my favourite books in the last year. The story itself is told from the perspective of Enzo the family dog. His observations and experiences throughout the story made me laugh, cry and kept me reading late into the night. The story is actually about Enzo’s master Denny and all the trials and tribulations he goes through during Enzo’s life span. It is so sweet and I promise that it will make you look at your family pet with a whole new set of eyes.
1. Create a Layout using the colors from the book cover.
2. Journal about an event or a day in the life from your pet’s perspective.
3. Do you ever wonder what stories might be told if animals or treasured objects in your life could talk. Give them words. Journal their story as if they were telling it themselves.
4. Design a layout using a photo from a unique perspective.
5. Sometimes the very things that are stumbling blocks or tragedies reveal our inner values. Journal about a time that your inner value were revealed.
6. In the book Denny has a unique job which he excels at that shapes his philosophy on life. Is there someone in your life that has a unique job or hobby? Create a page about how this job or hobby has shaped their life.
Here's what our team came up with.
To participate, just create any paper-crafted item -- a layout (digital, hybrid, or traditional), a card, an altered item, or home decor item using the challenge above. Post a link to your project in the credits, and make sure to share any thoughts about the novel as well. We'll have a new challenge up on August 23, 2010. Thanks for playing along!
