The Cutest Critter

Utilizing Double-Sided Paper

Hi scrappers! Welcome to May. It’s been getting so hot here in Southern California, but all of our beaches are closed! I’ve been doing lots of yoga and, of course, scrapbooking! What have you all been doing to pass the time during quarantine?

This page features a photo of my kitty Europa. She’s a Turkish Angora mix that I rescued through the Pets Mart adoption program. I love how she’s hamming it up for the camera in this photo.

I started with a double-sided piece of paper from DCWV’s Country Manor stack. Double-sided papers mean having to figure out what side of the paper to feature. I liked the floral side, but felt a whole page of it would make for a very busy layout. I cut a 3 inch piece to use as an accent then cut the remainder into 2 4 inch pieces, I mounted these all on basic white card stock. In this way, I featured the best of both sides and you would never guess that it was made up of three separate strips or that it all came from the same piece of paper.

This page was created for the May Tic Tac Toe challenge at Scrap Our Stash. I ended up overachieving and used all 9 elements on my page!

Wood Veneer- Thickers Chipboard Alphabet Letters
Ink Splatters- Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint in Regency Blue and Caribbean
Flowers- Good Day Sunshine chipboard accents by Echo Park Paper Co.
Brad- Green Button Brad
Enamel Dots- by Echo Park Paper Co. and My Mind’s Eye
Paper Doily- from Michael’s
Chipboard- Alphabet Stickers by The Paper Studio
Puffy Sticker- Stick A Bilities Kitten Puffy Stickers
Twine- Bakers Twine, brand unknown

This page was also created for Let’s Get Sketchy’s May challenge. I only used 1 photo instead of 2 and matted a cat sticker as a smaller focus point in its place.

Thanks for visiting friends. Stay safe and keep scrappin!
