MSM's T-2 Cat

More stashbusters!  For this one, I dug into my stash for a cat scrapbook kit I knew I had. I wanted to do a cat themed layout with a grid of circles.  

Here's the challenge:  Stashbusters - February, Week 1

1.Dry emboss and distress an accent. WHAT I DID: The gray circle at the upper right is dry embossed and covered with Prima chalk ink. I also rubbed distress ink on the die cut cat in the lower right.

 

2. Use a shaped photo. WHAT I DID: I die cut two photos into circles. The one of my cat (in the middle) and the one of the ball of twine. I wrapped some twine around a die cut circle, photographed that and die cut the photo. 

3. Ribbon. WHAT I DID: I tied ribbon around the neck of the wood veneer cat and attached ribbon to the paper clip for a flag.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Ice Storm 2009 - Day 8

Using the stashbusters challenge, I'm scrapping another set of photos from the Ice Storm of 2009. These photos are from Day 8, which was a mild day.  I was cooking supper outside on the picnic table, using the generator for electricity, watching Dale & Phillip haul water to the cattle in the barn.

Here's the challenge:  Stashbusters - February, Week 2

1.Use Red as your main color.  

2. Incorporate parentheses or brackets in your layout. 

3. Photo Corners. 

Well, other than missing the red as the main vs accent, I still pulled items from my stash in addition to attempting to use up the Cirque SB kit.  I doubt I've used photo corners for a while and the brackets are from this cute set of chipboard alpha / numbers I have yet to use.  This is probably the first time I can remember using a PL card on a SB page.  Note the mix of rounded and square corners.  I really do love the bold black letters form the Cirque SB kit.
