Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty

   If you watch the Big Bang Theory( one of our favourite shows) than you might recognize the little song. My husband suggested I use it for a page about our cats. It's one of the few times he has had an idea ( or interest in sharing one) for a scrapbook page. So of course, I obliged him. I chose a soft palette form my June Counterfeit kit.The pink and blue tones of the Sassafrass indie girl papers seemed the purrfect way to convey the warm snuggly feeling of my cat's napping.

  On both pages, I chose to use foam adhesive to lift parts of the patterned blocks from the paper. I had seen this on other pages before, and had loved the way it added dimension to the page. On the second page, I was struggling a bit with photo placement. I realized that cutting one of the photos in half made the page more interesting.

I don't know about you, but photos of cats always make me smile. Now I am off, to hopefully use up more of that counterfeit kit. Seems like life keeps getting in the way of scrapbooking lately!

  1. You have done a wonderful job with that Sassafras paper, a few simple cuts make a lot of impact. Nicely done.

  2. Cats do have a way with people, don't they. I love the colors here and I like how you used the foam to raise some of your squares. I have that same paper and may have to try your technique!
