While You Were Gone....

This layout is about pet-sitting, something I do a lot of, being there are four grand-animals in my life. When last on pet duty, I did some early decorating, to make the human-grand's homecoming more special.

To make this layout I clipped the main photo to a Fotoblendz (which I duplicated and moved along with a duplicate of the photo in order to capture more of the image). I then added phone extractions of the house number photos, arranging everything roughly on the page. For background, I used three Artsy Papers combined on different blend modes to enhance texture, as well as some supplies from the Transfer/Overlay part of the Artplay Palette. Once I was finished, I realized there wasn't enough visual story on the page for me, so I blended in one of the dogs over all the other layers, old-school style—with blending modes, layer masks, and an aA blending brush.
Awesome page filled so many happy house vibes! Great extractions, love the pup! Elliott is going to love the new numbers on the mailbox. We get our little pup next week for a couple of days. I actually think it's more nerve racking than watching all 3 grandkids at the same time. :p
That's so funny, I'm the opposite, probably because the dogs are basically couch potatoes but the kids are always up to something!
 
Agree with everything Jeanne says - there's this wonderful swirl of focus, between Artie? and the foreground numbers to the orange mums and back again. Love the differences in scale!
That's Louie (and he is super-sized in real life too). I felt bad about not including Artie on the page but even with my penchant for squeezing stuff in, I could not find a way to include him.
