Hello, pattern-mixing! I realized I had this sheet of bird-print paper in my Counterfeit Kit (see more in Monday's post), and it's one that I was determined to use, so I made it the background for this page about my cats, who battled each other for the sunniest (and best bird-watching) spot in the house.
I also wanted to try out the DIY Thickers that I've had for awhile -- they're foam Thickers with adhesive on top, allowing you to add whatever you like -- I went with glitter, dunking the bottoms of the letters in one color and the tops in another (gold...like sunshine...right? Sure.) I got the two-tone-dunking idea from a video Shimelle -- or rather, Glitter Girl -- did a bit ago.
And of course, the Unity goodness. I used this summery Simple Stories co-brand set here to finish off my title, and I also used it up in the corner to house my journalling (which you can see in the first photo). I highlighted both images with some stickles, which I also used elsewhere (more sunshine-y goodness).
Well, I guess that's just about it! You have until the end of Sunday (11:59 EST) to leave comments on this week's posts, and sometime Monday I'll use random.org to find our winner. On Monday, I'll also show you my actual Counterfeit Kit...or what's left of it, anyway! So if you've been curious about the products you've been seeing, Monday's your day.
Enjoy your weekend, and go shop for some Unity! They have great sales going on...hint, hint!

LOVE the glitter! Those thickers turned out amazing. Love the mix of patterns.
Loving all the fun sparkle on this layout, and also those cool brads. You did a great job of pulling all these elements together! Love it! This was a really great GIU week!
I love how you added birdies to your layout---kitties love them, so of course you should include them! So cute...
I just found out that you are the Unity lady of the week. How great. I love this layout with your cats---I'd like to make one for my cat, Ari. He's adorable, too.
Your layout is so fun, Angela! I really like those two-tone glitter letters. So fun!
love the touch of glitter, and how the letters mimic the photos with the sun shining on the cats.
Great layout! I have enjoyed seeing your creations all week, thanks!

Hooray for a Simon/Dex double bill! And hooray for two-tone glittery letters! I could go on, so let's just say... wow!
Very cute! I have some DIY Thickers that I've been saving for a rainy day... maybe it should rain this weekend. :)
This is fabulous. I love the sparkly letters.
What a fabulous layout! I love all the fun embellishments and colors!
I'm a new follower now and can't wait to see the rest of your blog for more ideas on using stamps on layouts!
Cute Kitty layout!
Really colorful and fun layout! I have 3 cats and always mean to scrap some photos of them but never seem to get around to it. Now I'm inspired to pull those photos out and go for it! Love your foam Thickers with the glitter !
I LOVE how you did the glitter. I'm inspired! The mix of papers is fantastic...love that bird pp in particular.
Eeek, I love the photos of Dexter and Simon sunning themselves! What perfect stamps to showcase your furbabies. I might need to get my hands on some of those DIY thickers even though I have no use for them! LOL
