Process:
I made this simple layout as an exercise in fantasy. What if Ollie has a secret life when Emma and Jake go out?

I started by framing the photo and then blended both the photo and the frame into the background--I wanted to create a linear design suggesting Ollie's apartment building; to that end, I stamped on the window brush to give the feeling of looking in (in reality my daughter was sitting on the couch with Ollie when she snapped this photo).

I added the type next, using a mixture of contrasting fonts, then the buttons, threads and, for some atmosphere, a ranging snowstorm, thanks to that wonderful new Snowy Fotoblendz set. Then I added a couple of spatters that suggested pawprints.

Because the layout looked flat, I went to my go-to cure-the-flatness stragegy: artsy transfers. I selected Euphoria Artsy Transfer #3 for its lovely textures, stains, tapes, and artstrokes.

Does Ollie really play the guitar when he's left alone? We'll never know....
I believe I'm in Brooklyn looking into the window at these beautiful dogs on a snowy winter's day. I adore your page! Gorgeous textures and design. And yes, I believe they play when Emma and Jake are away.
 
Love the wordart. Love the way the brick unifies the page. Love the concept.
 
Perfectly playful.... I think Ollie looks well-behaved..lol. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,as the saying goes!!
 
such a great combination to make such a believable whole. I can hear those guitar licks now!
 
Such a fun and interesting page. Love the mystery of whether they play or not. ADORE!
