Share It Sunday Blog Hop is one of my favorites. I can showcase anything I want. And for those of you who know me, I am loving scrapbooking right now! Not sure if it's because I'm super duper far behind or if I just love to showcase how you can utilize Stampin' Up! products for scrappin'. Nonetheless, I have a real "purrfect" one for you today!
Princess Poofers used to just be called Poofers. She got her name for a couple different reasons. First, she is poofy. Her blackish brown coat is so fluffy. And secondly when we got her from the pet shelter, she hid. And I mean hid. We couldn't find her and our middle son Trenton said "Poof, she's gone." At the time he was really into magic. We ended up finding her in the basement ceiling hiding by the furnace ducts. And now she is Princess Poofers because she's the only kitty cat left in our home and she is for surely treated like a princess!
Now Princess Poofers likes certain things. And one such thing is sitting on my lap. Every single time I go to sit on the couch, she is right there waiting to jump up. If I plan on working on the computer, like I am right now, I have to put up the footrest and she lays on my legs. These pictures are from Feb 15th, the day after my scrapbooking retreat when I was going through emails. She also likes the corner of my laptop and rubs her face against it.
First thing to do was to figure out my background. I wanted to use Purple Posy. I can't tell you how many times I took this picture but it's super hard to photograph this color. I used Purple Posy 12x12 cardstock. Then I laid over 6x6 designer series paper also in the Purple Posy color. Using this DSP is great as there's 4 different patterns...I used 3 of them over the background.
Another thing I like to do is to punch shapes out of the foil paper when I use it for a mat on my photos. You won't be able to see it as they're covered up by the picture.
Some of the details of this layout include: Gold Leafing on the large flowers, Wink of Stella on all the die cut images, used the Stampin' Blends to color the rhinestones black, and stitched rectangles for journaling and the title.
I really hoped you enjoyed my set of scrapbook pages for Share It Sunday Blog Hop. Make sure to visit the other blogs too! I love it when you leave me a comment as well.
Have a great day! -Elizabeth

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, love your scrapbook pages and especially the story of your cat. Our two cats, Milo and Rainbow, are trying to push my laptop off my lap so they can nap on my lap.
ReplyDeleteright?!?! Greedy little things aren't they :)
DeleteWhat an adorable double spread!
ReplyDeleteLove your layout and adore Princess Poofers. We had a half Persian half Manx cat which we called Fluffy. Not very imaginative but we called her that while trying to figure out a more appropriate name and it stuck!
ReplyDeleteOur fur babies make life so fun! What a sweet layout!
