Well I have to say I am absolutely blown away by how cool it was to see my projects on tv last night! It really was a pinch me moment. When I turned over to Hobbymaker.tv just as the programme had started and immediately spotted my pages right at the front I squealed!
And then grinned throughout the whole show. Martin was so nice in mentioning when I had made the projects – love his title for me as the “Queen of Christmas”. His demos were so cute (expect me to make something similar sometime soon because it inspired me to use the kit a different way!) – so please do go and watch on catch up if you can!
So today I have the second page featuring the gorgeous Simba (next doors cat) and the Pet Kit from Kingston Crafts.
Chose four different photos of him asleep on four different days and decided to go with the red due to the red blanket in one of the pictures.
So the red and the brown layers are the solid coloured papers from the stash and then I chose the cute paw print pattern for the main square background. Everything got distressed with my tool to bring in more of the white and to add texture – plus I chose to roll up the corner.
I added the vertical panel to ground the main photo area which I added a couple of mats to – the cat paper and the blue for a base.
I added in lots of the embellishments from the kit including the I ❤️ NAPS title piece and enjoyed putting them together in the three clusters. I also added the twine bow for some different texture.
I added my little bit of journalling on white cardstock strips and then added the little enamel dots as final embellishments… then I spotted the wax seal that I had made and never got around to using from the Spring wax seal collection and thought it worked well on the page with the colour and the glittery heart!
As pet papers and embellishments are not my go to I hadn’t ever done scrapbook pages for Simba before I got this kit and so this kit has been great for helping me get the story of next doors cat documented. I have pictures of other people’s pets (people were kind in sending me their pics) so I might get a few dog pages done too as gifts for Christmas! Watch this space!
Happy crafting!
