Love My Pets!

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today.  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  Rather than a card today, I decided to do two framed pieces that would be perfect for the pet lover in your life.

My initial thought was do make a card, but I had the 4 x 6 frames from a package of frames I had previously purchased and this design just worked so well with them.  However, this design could easily be made into a card.

I first cut all the pieces from various colors of card stock.

For the dog, I used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Real Read.

For the cat, I used Basic Black, Basic Grey and Real Red.  (Can you tell I have a brown dog and a grey cat at home?  LOL.)  My white panels are cut 4 x 6 inches to fit the frame.

Next, I embossed each panel with a falling hearts embossing folder.

I placed the pieces on each panel.  Before gluing them down I put the frame on top (minus the glass which I threw out) to see how the layout would look, and how much border I had around the layout.

When I was satisfied with each layout I glued the pieces to the embossed panel.  For the cat panel I went with a vertical layout since the kitty is rather small.  Because the dog is a bit larger, I used a horizontal layout for her.

These make fun, quick gifts for the pet lover in your life - even if that is YOU!
