There's a new sketch up today at Let's Capture These Sketches! It's a wonderful sketch by Heather Derbecker. The challenge is to use an animal somewhere on the page, either on the paper, the embellies or the pictures. Here's the sketch:
And here's my take on it. Our sponsor this month is Bella Blvd, and we were all lucky enough to get some goodies to play with! On this LO, the paper, the banner and the white letter stickers are all from Bella Blvd.
For the background, I sanded a piece of Core'dinations Jenni Bowlin embossed cardstock. I matted my photos with some MidTerm papers from Bella Blvd, and rounded the corners. I cut out the banner from the same line of papers, stamped the title, then added a thin line of Christmas Red Stickles. The big red heart is a leftover from a previous page. I had inked, glittered and diamond glazed a chipboard heart for a LO about my parents' wedding, but ended up not using it. I thought it was perfect for this LO about my special kitties! The big cat sticker, the sticker frame (which hides journaling underneath) and the cat brads on the bottom right, have been in my stash forever! It feels great to finally use them!
The journaling explains the story of my two special kitties, Sable and Chipper, two brothers who loved each other so much, although they were so different, both in appearance and character! I didn't expect them to come into my life (my roommate at the time wanted some kittens and I just went along...), but they changed it forever! I'm now a certified crazy cat lady! lol! I had Sable for almost 11 years. Chipper is still with me, he's almost 18. I have other cats too, but I don't think there will ever be other kitties as special as these two for me!
Ok, enough rambling! Go check out the rest of the DT's reveal here. And don't forget to play along with any of the sketches in November for your chance to win a yummy prize from Bella Blvd!
Happy scrapping!
