Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop.

The theme this month is: Portraying Pets

The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Charlotte Harding.

This month I am going to show you how to make your own background paper. As some of you know I have two rescue cats from Cairo. One of them Flora just loves to be with me all of the time so I decided to use some of her photos for my layout. I did not have any suitable designer series paper so I decided to make my own background for my scrapbook layout.

How to make your own background.

First I started with a piece of 12×12 Basic White card stock. Then using the cat from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set I stamped the image over the 12×12 Basic White card stock using Black Memento ink. Next I stamped the Hello sentiment from the Love This Moment stamp set again using Black memento ink as Flora meows Hello every time she sees me.

Next I laid out my three photos of Flora and decided where I could do some journaling. I used the line stamp from Love This Moment and Black Memento ink for my journaling and wrote using the Parakeet Party Write Marker.

I then decided to stamp the small heart again from the Love This Moment stamp set using Parakeet Party ink but as the hearts did not show up very well I decided to colour them in using the Parakeet Party Write Marker.

Finally I stuck my three photos onto my scrapbook layout.

U hope you have enjoyed seeing how I made my own background for my scrapbook layout. Why not have a go and please share them on to my Facebook page.

Until next time, keep stampin n crafting,
