My Little Dog's First Christmas | Welcome Home Keepsake Journal (Digital Download)

Keep your little dog's first Christmas together in one place.

Print the pages, add your favorite photos, and write down the moments you'll want to remember.

Welcome your little dog to your family and fill in the memories by hand.

Made for a new puppy, a rescue, or an older dog who just came home.

Choose Your Breed Cover

Pick the cover that looks like your dog: Classic (any dog) or one of 10 small-breed covers (Chihuahua, Dachshund, French Bulldog, Maltese, Mini Pinscher, Papillon, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Toy Poodle, Yorkie).

The pages inside are the same for every cover. Every cover comes in two layouts, one for a tall photo and one for a wide photo.

Photo sizes

Soft corner frames show you exactly where each photo goes:

• 5 x 7 in: a favorite for frames
• 3.5 x 5 in: two side by side
• Small photos: a page for your everyday favorites

Portrait and landscape layouts are included.

Phone photos may need to be trimmed slightly at 4 x 6, so leave a little room around the edges.

How it works

• Choose your cover and buy.
  Pick your breed cover (or Classic) before you add the journal to your cart. You'll receive your PDF right after purchase as an instant digital download.
• Print.
  Print at home or at a copy shop on US Letter paper (8.5 x 11 in). Choose "Actual Size" or 100% in your print settings, not "Fit to page".
• Choose your photo layout.
  Print page 1 for a tall photo or page 2 for a wide photo.
• Add your photos.
  Use a glue stick, photo tape or photo corners.
• Write.
  Use any pen or pencil. Print only the pages you need, and print photo pages again for more moments.
