Freak is one year old! What a big boy!

My girlfriend's cat, Freak, turned a year old on September 24th!

The colours on this scan came out really off. I'm gonna try to get some decent photos using my camera tomorrow. The background paper should be bright yellow and that cloth tape where it says "Birthday Boy" is really fluorescent ORANGE! hmmmm. Darned scanner settings. I'm a fool with that thing.
I actually repurposed a few items on this layout. The frame on the photo was originally the card backing for the dog brush I bought today. I just cut out the inside and had a lovely chipboard frame left over. The three glittery circles on the right are leaves I cut from a Christmas pick for plants that I bought at Michael's. Fun stuff!

A litte more more for you viewing pleasure. (I hope)

The page of my kitty is one of my very first pages. It's a little more traditional. It's kind of apparent that I'm still trying to find my style. I'll get there soon!

I figured I'd start this puppy off with a few pics of my first pages. There aren't many yet. I actually have yet to fill my first album. Off we go. . . . . .

I have a few more pages done but have to wait for decent daylight to get pics of them. I'm currently working in the 8x8 format because 12x12 is a bit daunting. I like the new trend in 6x12 lo's but I'm not really sure what people are doing with them when they are done? Can you get pages/books that size?
