Ta Da! The girliest layout I've ever made, and it's of my dog, Skippy, who is...
A BOY!Really?? How does this happen?Actually, it's because I had already started the layout and then swapped pictures in the middle of working on it. This picture just looked great with the background, and my wonderful sister assured me that he actually doesn't mind because well, (HE IS A DOG...shhh) Good point. And then I figured, he really is the sweetest ever, so why shouldn't the layout reflect some sweetness? So then I pretty much abandoned the idea that it should be masculine at all and just let it flow. I absolutely love this picture of him from late puppyhood.
I reaaaaally had fun making all of the paper flowers for this layout. I used Ranger Ink's Mini Misters and mixed some Distress Ink reinking drops to get those gorgeous colors.
I also had tons of fun altering the plain blue background with plenty of Distress Ink, masks, and stamps.
So thank you, sweet Skippy, for letting me do this totally flowery layout of you. After all, you are ONE SWEET BOY!
