Anything But a Card at Catch the Bug


Hi, everyone!
It's an ABC (Anything But a Card) Day over at Catch the Bug, and it's my turn to create something! :0) I always have a difficult time coming up with projects for ABC Day, but I to come up with a graduation gift for my son's very sweet, very unique girlfriend. She has such a wonderful, light, bright personality, and this Bugaboo Stamps Cat in Hat image was a perfect image that worked for a frame I made her (photos here are pre-framing).

This is a single page 12x12 layout using the Bugaboo Stamps image Cat in Hat - Youer than You.   It is going to be mounted into a shadow box frame. I love, love, love the Dr. Seuss stuff! I colored up the Bugaboo image in my PSE, then took it into my Silhouette Designer Studio program to Print and Cut it out for my layout. I picked up the pink Seuss paper at Joann a while back, and knew this would be perfect for the frame, too. I made my ornate frame from a Silhouette cut file on my new Silhouette Portrait (I am loving the compact size of this machine! Awesome!). My title letters are all Sizzix Playground Alphabet Sizzlit die cuts. I used some EK Success borderpunches, some Spellbinder Circle dies and some heart rhinestones. I am going to add her name to the page, too, but wanted to keep that off the internet for her privacy. :)

Here's a closer look at the Bugaboo image.
