Dog Trainer page idea

I happen to have a dog that is a slow learner so every year we go to the training classes given by the local recreation commission.  I have gotten to know the two ladies who teach the class quite well and I wanted to do a little something for them after the last session. Since they both do scrapbooks this is what I came up with.

I put some grass stickers along the bottom of the pages. From left to right on the grass I put these stickers (from the Mrs. G giant dogs and giant children stickers). First the red boy - upside down so it looks like he is doing a handstand; then a large dog facing to the right; then a dog dish and some bones; then a different large dog facing left; then the blue boy doing a somersault. (The stickers were spread all across the page). Above the two dogs I put speech bubbles. The first one said "Youcan teach an old trainer new tricks." The other one said "Yes, but it takes alot more treats." On the pages I put various photos taken at the classes.
