Taking my inspiration from advertising posters, I scrapped this 8.5"x11" layout about a friend's pet. It's a simple design where the patterned papers from the This & That Charming collection echoed the grey, white and brown colours in my photo. To focus attention on Mimi's eyes, I placed them in a visual triange with two spots of attention-grabbing reds.


Now hop on to Linda's blog where more exciting ideas await you.

Linking up to these parties.
