Curiosity

When our kitten, Liquorice first arrived she spent the day just exploring the house and investigating everything. She was fascinated by the washing machine.

I used Navy Bazzill cardstock to make a frame for the page, and a mat for the photo. White Bazzill was used for the main background and the stars.
The patterned papers are scraps from Cocoa Vanilla's Legendary collection.

I added some additional embellishments from my stash.
