Home Sweet Home Puppy

   Hi puppy lovers! Leah Schaeffer with you today to share my very first fur baby layout ever! Little Toby came home to be with us just a year ago and these were some of his very first photos with us. Honestly think this little guy is the sweetest doggy I've met! Such a love! So being able to create this felt like a wonderful treat.     I wanted to design a page that had that happy, spring day kinda feel and I think that each file I pulled images from ended up being perfect. The dimension to the page was easily created by thinking of the scene you are creating. The additions of the clouds for example just add one more layer. Popping the forefront images helped again to add a feeling of space on the page.     Trimming and adding foam tape to this title may have taken forever, but really helped bring attention to this detail. As well as the layering and inking.     All of the layers were inked. Yes, that is a bit time consuming but by doing so, each and every layer of each image really comes to life! To add even a bit more, I used my markers to add details. Dots on the buttefly, "fur" on the doggy, details on the snail. Even each flower center has a detail inside! Also mixing some printed paper with solid paper adds a bit more interest then only one or the other.     All those images can be found here...

Merry & Bright    Hi friends, Leah Schaeffer with you all today and I'm just not ready to let the holidays go! Well, it's really more of a winter layout. I could have gone with a title that wasn't something more holiday except that I did want to use this picture of my littles on Christmas morning. So, it went together. It had been some time since I got to put so much into a layout, the design, pulling the layers apart to get ready to cut and to put together. I think it took probably 5 different days to get this thing made!      Can I say how amazing paper is? All you need is paper! Seriously. Ok, and glue. But this entire page is done with paper. The only embellishing I did was adding details to the die cuts with pen. Shading, texture, etc and inking all the cuts. Just gives a little something but other then that, no other embellishments.     Ready for the file list? There's a few today!  Skating Bear Couple Winter Critters Forest Critters Winter Dog Winter Cat Winter Cardinal Snowy Scene    Hope you enjoyed my creation today, so appreciative for you checking it out!
