CAT SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT
My cat scrapbook layout is dedicated to our lovely, tubby cat, Bella. She is totally devoted - to eating and sleeping - and we wouldn't have her any other way. She's eatin' everything in her paaath!

'ANIMATE' YOUR ANIMAL
The image on the bottom right suggests Bella plays soccer, could rise majestically above defenders, AND head a ball goalward. This would be misleading. However, you can make fun features on layouts by cutting out your photo subject's outline - rather than just cropping - and placing that image in any way you fancy. It's great with pets because they're guaranteed not to take offence.
STRINGS ATTACHED
I got the 'string idea' by watching Bella get caught up in a piece of string and then proceed to walk round two small items of furniture. It wasn't difficult to make the word 'Bella' (I was lucky with those letters perhaps!) and attach my string to the page with glue dots. Then it was a case of threading the string around my photos.
STICK-ONS, RUB-ONS OR BOTH?
Ah, c'mon! Both. Life's too short! The rub-ons are from Penny Black, their 'Stickeroo' range. (Sounds like a soccer team of thin Australians. Bella couldn't play for them). The stick-ons are from the 'Chester' range from Memory Big Ideas, except Bella's football which is by Stickapotamus.
BACKGROUND TO ALL THIS
I needed mostly a plain cardstock so the threaded string would stand out, for which a cream stock from Papermania was fine. Couldn't resist the Dovecraft paper though, nor could I resist chalking the torn edges with 'All Night Media' chalk from Plaid, (the thing dead men usually don't wear).
