Description
For the MOC4 Challenge, Day 6

The lower square of my layout is an album cover. The top panel represents liner notes. I've attached a tag to the cover to do a bit of journaling.

Liner notes read:
Introducing the newest release by singer/songwriter/performer extraordinaire – JACK THE DOG. Nine of his greatest hits, including the all-time favorite, “Momma Don’t Get No Sleep No More”. When asked about “Momma…” JACK THE DOG humbly says, “Yes, it is true. I’ve been waking Momma up, I admit it. I try to begin her day at around 4 in the morning, sometimes earlier. Yes, Dad is available, but Momma is my go-to."

JACK’s songs can be poignant, funny, bluesy, folksy, but always spoken from the heart. His massive popularity is attributed to his song-writing ability, taken from his own life experiences. Critics have often compared him to “Doggie” Dylan.

Nine classics, the best of the best – Limited to 4000 pressings on 180 gram vinyl.

The tag reads: Where I am right now, living with DH and an aging dog named Jack, who was 13 in November. Luckily, because of my early wake-up calls, I now I have an extra 2-3 hours in my waking day, more time to work on the Month of Challenges and my art. This layout may be a bit silly, but that is what sleep-deprivation will do for you… This is my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hope Jack continues to wake me up in the wee hours of the morning for many years to come.

Hopefully you can read the titles to his nine songs. :-)

lol. Sounds somewhat like having a newborn! I just love that you included all the tracks on your album! ;) Very clever.
 
i love that you took a very real situation that you are going through now and told the story through the eyes of your dog (the culprit!) so very clever! love that you did a whole album of songs - created a cover, which is awesome by the way (he does look guilty in that photo doesn't he?!) and gave us all the details about how this came to be SO FUN (in your description) - you obviously thought and poured a lot in this! so well done! love it! :)
 
@jenn mccabe Thanks, Jenn. Yep, you are right, he does look guilty. Obviously Jack is a very important part of our family, even though today's wake-up was at 1:45 a.m. (and yes, I did go back to sleep on that one...)
 
I love what you did here with your story and your layout. Ah, such doggy-ness. Although, at our house it is the cat who insists on those early morning risings.
