Design note: This layout is full of different fabrics and machine stitching. The photo itself is even printed onto fabric! Instead of using patterned papers on this layout, I went to the fabric section of my local craft store and chose some fabrics that appealed to me. I also purchased some coordinating colors of burlap. I frayed the edges of the fabric and burlap, layered it underneath the fabric photo, and then used my sewing machine to stitch it in place. I also stitched on some lace and a strip of cream cardstock to break up the fabrics. The heart was actually cut from a piece of cardboard box. I cut it out, roughed it up a lot, and then ran my ink pad across it. The ghost letter "U" was roughed up with sandpaper, inked, and placed on pop dots.

Journaling: Oh how you love your kitty cats.  Grandpa gave you and Makele each a kitten last month. Makele's is the striped cat; she named him "Sprinkles." I helped you name your black cat "Felix." They put up with a lot from you chasing them around and curiously poking and prodding them. This is your first cat and already you have fallen in love with them! July 27, 2007.
