Everyone has a dog or friends with dogs – and lots of dog photos. Feature your favorite furry friends in fun projects that are easy to make.

Start at www.epsoncreativezone.com for templates to customize – just add photos and text.

Turn original dog designs into background patterns for scrapbook pages, wrapping paper, greeting cards, or as mattes for frames or layouts.

To really save time, use the layouts to make your pages. The free templates are in PNG and JPEG files to use with Word or PhotoShop Elements.

With the R1800 printer you can print up to borderless 12” x 12” pages, or anything smaller. Make the pages digitally, or print just the background and text, then layer on your photos and embellishments with adhesive.

Cover a plain brown box with a dog design from the website. Follow the directions to add your dog’s photos, print and assemble the pages to make a unique little photo box.

Any of these would make great gifts for your favorite animal lovers.
