When I first saw the new Cosmo Cricket Delovely, I knew I would own it. I fell in love with the fresh and fun bright colors. I have a thing for yellows, right now, too. When I saw the chipboard, I kind of paused. "What on earth am I going to do with a couch?". There has definitely been a trend of home decor and I admit I have avoided it. I think it's cute conceptually, but I have no idea how to use it.
Anyway, the Delovely couch didn't stop me from purchasing the product, but it's been sitting in my mind churning away for a while. No doubt how to use couches and lamps is glaringly obvious to many of you, but it really eludes me. I, however, like challenges. I was determined to figure out a way to use that couch!
This month, Petaloo, challenged us to do Pet projects. I have three huge cats, all of whom are girls and very, very lazy. They are more dog-like, than cat-like, for sure. I looked at the chipboard and thought "duh". These kitties are the ultimate couch potatoes. They wouldn't even stir if a bird flew in the room and buzzed over their heads. So, there you go. That's what I went with in a silly way.
I started with a white background, cut down, so I could use some Creative Imaginations Luminarte in yellow and pink. I had fun with Petaloo's glittery flowers and blingy flower centers. My favorite is their sequins. I love the long, skinny sequins and thought they'd make a fun border instead of sewing. I'm not sure I love my layout, but I do love that I got a page about my kitty done. I tend to focus on the kiddos and have been neglect in documenting the other part of our family.
Have a great Memorial Day!
