Hello! The latest challenge at Scrapbook Challenges is a pattern challenge... and the pattern is: DOODLED! 

Well, here's what I came up with. Didn't turn out at all like what I thought it would... Still, I just had to scrap this subject... my orange kitties!

The title means "If one is good, but two is better, what's four?". This refers to an old milk commercial that said that drinking one glass of milk was good, but drinking two was better! I had made a layout here of this a while back about my two orange cats... But now I have four! (all rescued from the streets) I just love orange tabbies! They're such sweet natured cats! 

I didn't have any doodled patterned paper (unbelievable given my enormous stash of paper! ;) so I decided to make my own. I just played with fun-looking fonts and wrote words that describe my kitties, along with each of their names. I printed that on vellum and attached it to the paper with heart brads.

Hi!

Scrapbook Challenges has just released sketch #426. 

It's a one-photo sketch showcasing a large picture and a great opportunity to mix and match patterned papers, which I love to do! I don't often scrap with large photos, so this was fun to do. I simply tilted the sketch to the side and added an extra little picture at the bottom.

The title of my layout means "How can you resist this?", "this" being that cute little orange kitten face with pleading eyes! These are my two latest rescues, which I adopted completely unexpectedly. To make a long story short, my niece showed me that little picture one day. Her friend was looking for someone to take in an outside kitten that she didn't think would make it through the winter. I just couldn't resist those sad little eyes! Turns out there were two babies... The very next day, I was picking both of them up and bringing them home! 

Come play with us at Scrapbook Challenges and show us what you create with this sketch! 

Have a scrappy week!
