Pawprints: Creative Embellishments & SpiegelMom Scraps Blog Hop

Hey there!
Today the Creative Embellishments DT is teaming up with SpiegelMom Scraps for a blog hop! I was so excited to play with the goodies from SpiegelMoms Scraps and pairing them up with Creative Embellishments goodies was the perfect combination!

Back in November, we had to put our yellow lab, Bender down due to kidney failure. This was the hardest decision we ever had to make, but it was best for him. The photos on this layout were taken the day before and are the last ones I took of him. RIP Bender. We love and miss you!

Now onto my layout.

I created the background using the Fairy Dust Stencil and light modeling paste. After I applied the modeling paste and while it was still wet, I added some of the yellow sequins from the Amore Sequin pack. This saved me from gluing them down later. I added some watercolor using the packaging technique. I also added some pawprints cut from a Silhouette frame cut file and colored with watercolors. 

I kept my patterned paper to a minimum since I had the mixed media background. 

I used Shimmerz Tar, Tar Acri Tones to color the"Paw Prints" chipboard piece and added some red paint spatters. I tucked in the "Fuzzy Friend" flair from the Happy Tails Flairs and added a yellow heart feltie from the Love U Tons pack.

It's hard to see, but I did add a Silver Foil Holiday Doily behind the photo on the left:

I took a Heart chipboard piece, added Gesso and mists to it. I tucked another yellow heart feltie inside it and added some tangles thread and the "love" flair. I added 3 Cork Chevrons under my photos along with a sticker:

In the upper left corner around my photo, I added a mixture of alphas to create my title: "Our hearts will always wear the pawprints left by you." I also added another Yellow Heart Feltie and a couple more of the Cork Chevrons:

I love how this layout came out and I think it is a great tribute to this wonderful member of our family.
