Jill has both a cat and dog and took advantage of lots of sunlight to snap some darling photos of both. She used a trendy faux postage theme with layers of stitched down pattern papers behind the photos, scattered bubble accents and many postage inspired designs.

During the warmer days of Summer it’s a terrific time to spend more time with our pets having more sunlight also makes for brighter photos. Maybe your dog loves to swim in the pool or maybe your cat will go on walks around the neighborhood on a harness. The dog (and cat) days of Summer is really just an excuse to snap adorable photos of our pets enjoying the nice weather outdoors or by a sunny window that you can then scrap in your craft room in the air conditioning 🙂 Today we’ll take a look at some amazing pages that capture those fun times with our best furry friends.

Sophie pulled the plaid from the rug in the photos and included several different plaid papers on her sweet dog layout. There’s also lots of texture from sewing, paper tearing and dimension from popping up the printed embellishments. Take a closer look at the Simple Stories blog.

This darling double page doggy spread has one page with a large photo as the focal point with layers of coordinating pattern papers behind, a large title, word bubble and a scene created with printed dies.

Andrea used a grid design for her perfect pooches layout. Each square is either a photo or layers of sewn pattern papers with words, threads, printed dies or journaling layered on top. This is a great way to use of scraps of papers! I spotted her idea on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.

“Good Dog” is the perfect title for a sweet dog layout like this one from Dorymar. She’s got a fan of 3 photos over a large die cut circle with puppy themed papers behind.

This beautiful layout from Gia captures the Lazy Days of Summer perfectly. Behind the two cat photos are two hearts and loads of pretty fussy cut flowers tucked behind. There’s also vintage inspired papers and elements with a bold thick yellow title. I came across this idea at the Gia Aloha Instagram page.
I hope you’ve found some inspiration to scrap some photos of your pets this Summer!
