Yesterday and today, over on the Bella Blvd blog, we are revealing our new mid-release! We have three new mini collections, and a collection of new 4×6 stickers perfect for projects of all kinds. Yesterday, we revealed the Riley and Rover collections, for cat and dog lovers. I worked with both of these to create two new layouts for the catalog. Yesterday, I shared my layout with the Rover collection, and today I want to share my layout with the Riley collection.  

I fully admit that I am NOT a cat person at all. Not. At. All. But I do know lots of family members and friends that are cat lovers, so I knew I would be able to track down a photo to work with. I quickly remembered this photo that my good friend Deneen took of her daughter Kayley and their cat Whiskers. It's a gorgeous photo and I knew it would be purrfect for this collection. See what I did there 😉

Just like on my Rover layout, I knew the tone-on-tone grey text patterned paper would be great for the background of my page. While I didn't want them to look too similar, they were great for letting the title and embellishments stand out. And I didn't really realize it when I created these two layouts, but I used the black 3×4" card on both layout, and on both of them, I matted them on patterned paper.

I'm a huge fan of scalloped borders, so I almost always gravitate towards the two different scalloped stickers on the Treasures & Text sticker sheets. I think I need full sheets of just the 12" scalloped border stickers. Lol.

I used a few small strips of different patterned papers on either side of my photo, and then added a sprinkling of embellishments to the left side of the page. A few stickers, a chipboard heart, and some enamels.

To see the full reveal, and get in on a chance to win-it-before-you-can-buy-it, head over to the Bella Blvd blog for more details!
