'rotten puppy' layout

I've been wanting to create a grid style layout for a while and really wanted the squares to be a great focus so when I snapped these cute pics of our daschund puppy I knew they'd be perfect for this layout featuring Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock. 

I chose a piece of 12 x 12" Snowflake Jillian Dot for the base and then cut (25) 2" squares to create the focal point of my layout.  I used carstock from the Neutrals Collection and ran them thru my Big Shot using (3) different embossing folders.

I lightly sanded off the top and then laid them out evenly spaced onto my base.  Once I had them all adhered, I used a ruler and bloack journaling pen to draw the 'stitching' in between each row.

I adhered one fo the photos of Marshall flat and the other raised using 3D foam.  I used a large 'ticket' embosssing folder to create the 'Admit One' ticket and then precision cut it out of the cardstock.  I tucked it just under the edge of the flat photo with a piece of May Arts ribbon. Then I lightly twisted another piece of May Arts ribbon on an angle underneath the photos and added a couple stickers to it as well.

For the title I used a piece of Kraft-Core and cut 'puppy' using a font file on my Silhouette.  The 'rotten' type text stickers are Bella Blvd. High Five Alphas…..LOVE how this one of my 'rotten puppy' came together !!

TFL .... Talk soon.
