Belle

The sketch this week from The Scrappiest This sketch had me stumped for a bit, then I came across this picture of Belle our cat who disappeared last November (I think a cougar got her). I started out using my Scarlet Lime kit but then ended up using the Just Chillin Papers from Making Memories. I cut the flowers out with my Sizzix and I freehanded the heart.

This? Having you stumped? Not when this came out as amazing as it is! There are so many things I love in this layout. The journaling as the background is fantastic. Your flowers are the perfect embellishment and your free hand heart is perfect. I too, am sorry about Belle.

What a beautiful layout for your sweet kitty! They are so much a part of our lives - - -

I love that the journaling is perfect for this page. It's honest, and real, and doesn't take away from the photo in the least! Really nice.
