First of all, totally in love with how this came out! Once I got the August Cocoa Daisy kit, I knew that the colors were perfect for these pictures of Carleen. The kit has somewhat of a travel theme, so time to change it UP.
I started with that Silhouette area. First with bones, but then I didn't like just that so I added in the paws. I luckily kept the leftover cutouts, because I thought I might be able to incorporate them into my page a some point. I decided that section need a border and since I was in the Cameo mode, I looked thru my files and found that fun border from Laina and thought it would look great with that orange map paper. After that it was a lot of playing and moving until I got everything the way I wanted it.

I just used one of my leftover bones and made a little cluster of embellishments. I HAD to add that WOOF flair button.
That corner was begging for it!
A close up of my Silhouette work, along with the fabby camera stamp that was in this month's kit! I pieced together that cut out background from the files above. It took some playing, but I figured out how to erase some of the cut lines to make half elements in spots. I then took my leftovers again and used the other side of them since it was white graph paper. Inked them and then popped them up. I LOVE that postage stamp border, it's from Laina Lamb Designs at Two Peas.
Well, I think I am going to go scrap for the weekend!! (i.e. you are probably reading this during the week!) Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.
This is such an adorable layout! I love it!
