Zeus' Perpetual Smile

Zeus is my next door neighbor.
He's a French Bulldog and what a character he is!

I'm lucky to be able to babysit him now and then, even for a whole week sometimes!
Miss Gali & Lucy (my sweet cats) aren't thrilled when these times occur, 
but a protective gate with a small pass-through door (too small for Zeus' big head-LOL!)
 allows them to wander throughout the house while Zeus is sleeping in his kennel. hee hee

I share many funny videos & photos on FaceBook of my times with Zeus.
As many of you know, I always have several nicknames for sweet little animals....
and Zeus is no exception!
a.k.a. Zeus-Meister, Zeuster, Mr. Man, Humpster, Zeus-Man, Meister-Man, Moon Face & Boulder Head.
LOLOLOLOLOL! 
Frenchies are the 'clowns' in the dog world. 
They are HILARIOUS!
The photo shows Zeus' silliness turning his big head sideways while laying on the couch.

now on the layout creation....

I began with the perfect page in the Blue Fern Studios Happy Accident collection.
Zeus' photo was adhered to cardboard for added dimension and placed on the page.
Using BFS Flourish chipboard and their EP color Goldilocks, the design began to fall into place.

The page was splattered with black gesso. 
Each flourish was then decorated with a flower arrangement.
The handwritten title was placed on the larger of the two flourishes.

Die cut leaves are stamped in jet black archival ink.


Reneabouquets butterflies are a fabulous addition to spruce up the page!



Here you can see my hand drawn thread-look edging.

 It's been such a very long time since I've been able to or be in the mood to create.
It felt really good to create again!

Thank you so much for your visit!
Have a great weekend, Lisa >^..^<

(P.S. more Zeus-Meister to come in the future)
