Hug Layout by Cathi

Hi Cathi here to show you my layout for this month's Moodboard challenge with a theme: Things You Love!!!

Join our February Challenge and share some of the things you love! Our challenge host Dana created this mood board using images that caught her eye on Pinterest. Whether you like birds or butterflies, flowers or feathers, postcards or old books, or something else entirely, just have fun creating a project showcasing the things or people you love. Feel free to incorporate photos, patterns and colors from the mood board in your project, but please do not feel required to use these images. This challenge is specifically about the things you love - no restrictions!

Here is my take on the challenge, featuring many things I love: my daughters, our 15 year baby kitten lol who still runs around and plays with toys like she was a young kitty, and lots of favorite scrapbooking goodies: flowers, chipboard, stamps, stencils, molding paste, mists.... I had a lot of fun putting this together!!

The paper images I used are digital images from the CATfile store. I used paper from the 7 Dots Studio (Soulmates Collection ) and flowers and metal piece from Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop.

Here you can see lots of layers of stamps, stenciling, flowers and the fun files from CATfile store.  I was able to change the colors of some of the digital files in Photoshop to match my theme.

On the photo I was able to take one of the digital word files and turn it into a "brush" on Photoshop. This allows you to add the text, change the color of it, its opacity, and its size...you can have a lot of fun with digital files that way!

I love the handmade flowers I got from  Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop as well as the great metal piece that says love, perfect!!

I really enjoyed making  this layout and I hope you like it!!
I also hope you come play along with us this month!!
