Home Is Where The Cat Is

October 25, 2016

Hi, everyone!  I wanted to share with you a scrapbook layout I created last night using the adorable Crate Paper “Cute Girl” collection.  Oh how I love it!

There’s so much I adore about this collection… but I’m not gonna lie.  It was all the cats that totally won me over.  Surprised?  Didn’t think so.  😉  For this layout, I knew I wanted to use a photo I took of our boy Powder who decided one day to secretly spend hours hanging out on top of the tallest bookshelf we own.   I didn’t even realize he was up there until he peeked out over the top when it was finally time for him to make his way down.  Silly little fluff.

I knew this was going to be a “busy” layout from the start, so I just rolled with it.  As I sat in my big comfy chair binge watching Gilmore Girls, I took all the little paper scraps I had + the branding strips from the 12×12 papers and I haphazardly pieced together the bottom of this layout.  I lightly glued them in place first, and then I sewed them down later.  As always, I finished the layout by crinkling some of the edges of the papers- that’s the part where I feel like it all comes together.  In a way, it’s the grand finale.

There’s just something about adding that worn look to a page that really ties it all up and makes it feel like an heirloom of sorts.  Know what I mean?

So that’s it!  I’m fairly certain I broke all the “rules” of design once again, but when you feel like playing, you toss the rule book off to the side & just stinkin’ play.   At least that’s my motto.  😉

Thanks for looking!

And p.s.- For those of you wondering, the kitty in this photo is #1 of the “Fluffy Twin” duo we have in our family… and sadly, #2 of the duo has still yet to be found.  I miss you, sweet Cricket.

    Absolutely beautiful layout!!!!
    I adore your blog and look forward to “checking in” with you from time to time. The minute I saw your layout, I smiled – thanks for helping me start my day with a huge serving of happiness!
    I so hope your sweet Cricket comes home to you soon!
    I giggled when you mentioned binging on GG. I just “discovered” them in August and have been doing the same. I sadly finished the last episode of season 7 this morning. Thank goodness for the new episodes due out in late November! I may need to start the series all over again (like I did with Psych). Have a great one Marybeth!

I can work again. 😆

Literally have 9,810 unread emails, and Ima tell y Literally have 9,810 unread emails, and Ima tell ya— they ain’t getting read. 🤣In all seriousness, the day I learned there are like tonssss of people out there like me that flat out SUCK at replying to texts or messages in a reasonable timeframe, it changed my life. It’s not that we don’t want to talk to you— we DO! (I mean, most of the time. 😂) It’s just that 1. When you’ve always got like 50 red bubbles on your phone, you stop seeing them. And 2. We get so overwhelmed so quickly by all the things that it takes us time to process and adequately reply. So most of the time, that means the recipient has to wait a hot minute. Now, granted, I don’t use FB often and have notifications for all apps turned off because I just can’t with the dinging 🔔 so a lot of times I don’t even see those messages til much later. But texts. Yeah I’m sorry. I don’t know the last time I didn’t have red bubbles. 😆 The grand majority are spammy texts which is why others sometimes get lost in the mix. But anyways…I sometimes miss the simplicity of landlines. Let’s be real, though— I even screened those calls. 🤣If this resonated with you, know you’re not alone. And if you don’t get it— I apologize on behalf of the rest of us that have zero phone etiquette and likely never will. 😉(Please tell me… how many unread emails do you have?! Anyone over 10k? 😆)
