More cat layouts

I'm still powering away on the layout challenge! At this rate I'll have filled the girl's 20-page album by the end of the week and I'll have to get some more pockets for it! My layout tally so far is eight layouts (in five days) using twenty-one photos. I'm trying to get at least two photos on each page...

I decided to make a page in matching colours... I've never stapled ribbon before but it came out cute. A few of the title letters are hard to read because they're shiny, but it's 'Lady of Leisure' and I managed to use a different 'font' for every letter.

Cardstock-only layout. I decided to colour-block this one and it was really fun to make... I didn't specially cut ANY of those squares/triangles etc - I had a baggie of shapes left over from making a rainbow border for a page swap, and I used a lot of them up on this LO...

Cuddle time (layout with foam stamps) - I don't actually OWN any foam stamps, so I improvised. I stuck two large foamy shapes back to back and used them to stamp the flowers... then I cut myself a little foamy teardrop-shaped leaf shape, and finished off with a round center to the flowers. I almost never crop photos into shapes, but these were a natural - the background was just a boring blank wall and it fitted them onto the page better to crop around our outlines. (besides, that way you can see more of the stamped background I went to all that trouble to make!

Great layouts Karen. The ribbon is a great touch on the first layout. I love the cardstock only layout. I may have to scraplift that one. I have lots of little left over bits and pieces. Your foam stamps turned out great. Love the look of that page too.

I love the layouts, but I especially love what you did with the cardstock only one. It really pops and the pictures just work so well with the colors you used!

Nice LO's, Karen. I do like the use of different alpha stickers on a title, but have not been brave enough to try it myself. Sandy

If I want to mix-and-match I lay all the letters out on the page before I attach ANY of them (cut the sticker ones out of the sheet in little blocks)... that way you can make sure that they're aesthetically pleasing and not just a mess, and if you get halfway through the title and find you don't have the right alphabet/s you can reshuffle and change them around.
