Kitties and family with Guest Blogger Anita and the Patio Party Collection

Hi there, Anita here! I’m so excited to be a guest on the Pebbles blog today and share a few layouts I’ve created with the beautiful and fun Patio Party collection.

My first layout is all about my cat Kush. He went blind from a stroke a little over a year ago now so he just sits and looks like he is staring off in to space or sleeps all day.

I often wonder what he is thinking so I decided to capture a moment. I’m not still not sure what he was thinking but he didn’t look happy, so I just had to give him some love.

Let me tell you more about how this layout came together.

I started by flicking some watered-down black gesso onto the base and then cut out strips of patterned paper

I matted my photo on the blue polka dot patterned paper

I cut a few thicker strips for behind my photo. I really like cutting strips of paper to add around my layout so I layered more

at the top and bottom of my layout

I then fussy cut some of the beautiful flowers from a floral patterned paper sheet

and applied them around my photo. I also clustered them at the top and bottom of my of my layout to add extra colour

I chose the title from the phrase Thickers (love ya) and added it to the right bottom corner of my photo

Then I used my typewriter to add my journaling on some copy paper and cut it out and stuck it down

I have a process video of how I put this layout together

For my next layout, I focused on my hubby and our 2 daughters

I can’t always get a photo of my hubby as he hates having them taken but he wanted a photo of him and the girls this day

I started off by flicking black gesso across the cardstock after it was dry

I cut some strips of patterned papers that would go well behind my photo and on the right hand side of the layout.

Once I adjusted them around, I adhered them in place

Next, I started clustering the ephemera ,flowers and other embellishments

I added 2 clusters; one on the left hand side of my photo

and the other on ther right hand side (top corner)

I then added my title from the phrase Thickers

I completed it with journaling underneath my title using my typewriter and copy paper.

Thanks for joining me today!
