Very Mary: Cat Scratch (a layout)

Photo Albums

Cat Scratch (a layout)

If you're looking for our challenge page, please check back tomorrow...

In other news, it occured to me that I would like to compile all my layouts in one place; i.e., my album here on typepad, so in the next while, I'll be intermixing older projects with some of my newer ones. I think (unless you stalk me) that chances are good, you won't have seen all of them before, and maybe being "new to you," they'll still give you some good ideas.

I created this page for Cantata Books Scrapbooking for the Time Impaired. The assignment was to journal in a letter format. I journaled from the perspective of my fat, moody cat Henry who seemed soured on life after the addition of Howie the pug.

Owen the pug was pretty much the last straw, so in the aftermath of a pug-infused household, he spent his days eating and lolling around like Jabba the Hut, growling at anyone that would listen. can you tell by that photo that he's pretty much annoyed at life in general?

I used plain ol' notebook paper and a real Ticonderoga #2 pencil. The paw print was created with a mask I cut out of chipboard, but you could use your pet's paw. I've done that a time or two. Although not with Henry. He probably would've bitten me.

Okay, THAT is FUNNY!!! That cracks me up :) Did you just run the notebook paper through the printer? And the pencil... just used glue dots to stick it on? So cute! Thanks, Mary!
