I LOVE THIS PAGE! Going to my faves. I love the entire composition, the colors, the red touches, the doodles, the script in the title, the way you cut the photos and formed a triptych with them, the marriage of rounded with straight lines, the stamps and their placement, the pp, the cat and the journaling, especially. Great story. I love happy endings. I love that your friend reintroduced a cat into your life and it helped you to heal old wounds. This lo is the cat's meow.
Great journalling and LO. I was bit by a cat once and I have never liked them for ages till my nan rescued a cat from the shelter too! But I will not go near any other cat even her other one. Anyway back to LO - Great colours, placement, addition of newspaper, and swirls. Great Job!
Melissa, now I know why you have "Cat Scratch Fever". I thought you just loved the song. I love how you composed all of the elements on this LO. The colors perfectly complement the newsprint's texture. I love the look of a LO within a LO and the ribbon you used to frame and separate. Also, around the news article, I love the doodled stitch. Your pictures and journaling tell quite the story and are perfect for the story-telling LO, for sure! Finally, most of all, I am glad that this story has a happy ending for you and for your new baby, Bulls-eye. Melissa, this is beautiful and I am thinking I am developing a scrap-crush on you. kiss-kiss, hug-hug
This LO is for the Lucky 7s contest. I made this layout to tell the story of my cat attack and how hard it was to have another pet afterward. The article is an actual article from our local paper. Names and locations blurred for privacy. Journaling reads: I have always had at least one pet. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, mice, a rat, an iguana, and even a snake. I never imagined that one of them would be a threat. That was until I got Louie. Louie was a stray cat I took in and for quite some time all was normal. Then he developed a bit of a temper. It wasn't a huge deal at first, but one day he flipped and attacked me to the point of needing to go to the hospital. I still didn't lose hope. I thought it would be an isolated incident, but I was wrong. Not a week later he attacked again and this time more viciously than I could have ever imagined. This time the police actually had to come along with Animal Control to rescue me. Again I was hospitalized and the incident even ended up on the news and in the papers. Not only did this leave me with physical scars that still have yet to fade, but also left me with emotional scars that have caused me to lose my breath and break a sweat in the presence of a cat. I vowed never to have another cat. That is, until I met Bull's-eye. A friend of mine told me to come over because he had a surprise. Little did I know it was a kitten. A kitten who looked identical to Louie. He wanted me to take it so they wouldn't have to take it to the SPCA. At first I didn't want anything to do with it. I couldn't even consider it, but then I held her. She cuddled up to me and suddenly I couldn't bear the thought of her being homeless. I took her home and now she is my baby. One of the family. It was hard at first, but I've learned to trust again.
