To create this layout, you will need:

Layout by **Karyn McDermaid-Rolfe**, Creative Memories Design Team Contributor

Step 1: Cut a piece of Red Solid Cardstock to 12″ x 8-5/8″.

Step 2: Cut two 12″ x 1/2″ strips from the light blue striped designer paper. Adhere to the top and bottom of the red panel leaving about 1/8″ from the top and bottom of the red piece.

Step 3: Cut a 12″ x 1″ strip from the woof designer paper and a 12″ x 1″ strip from the pet toy designer paper. Adhere under and over the two light blue strips leaving about 1/8″ in between the pieces.

Step 4: Cut two 12″ x 9/16″ strips from the chew toy designer paper. Adhere under and over the two woof strips leaving about 1/8″ in between the pieces.

Step 5: Adhere the panel about 1-1/4″ from the bottom of a sheet of brown dog bone designer paper.

Step 6: Adhere the dog bone sticker strips above and below the panel.

Step 7: Cut a 4-7/8″ x 12″ piece from the Red Solid Cardstock. Cut a 4-5/8″ piece of white heart designer paper. Layer and adhere the two pieces to the right side of the layout, about 1/2″ from the right edge.

Step 8: Crop photos to 5-3/4″ x 4″ and adhere to the center of the red panel and the white heart piece.

To Create Larger Dog House:

Step 1: Cut a 3″ x 4-1/4″ piece from dark blue striped designer paper.

Step 2: Cut two 3/8″ x 3-1/4″ pieces from Caramel Solid Cardstock. Place a strip on the 45-degree cutting line on the 12-Inch Trimmer with the corner on the dashed cutting line and cut a diagonal. Flip the strip to its backside and repeat with the other end. Repeat with the second strip.

Step 3: Adhere the two strips on the rectangle piece so the diagonal edges form a peak for the roof. Use All-Purpose Scissors to cut off the excess from the rectangle piece.

Step 4: Using the CCS Oval Pattern, center the center of the pattern about 2-1/4″ from the top of the dog house. Cut on the inside with the Red Blade to cut out a partial oval.

To Create Smaller Dog House:

Step 1: Cut a 2-1/2″ x 3″ piece from green designer paper.

Step 2: Cut two 3/8″ x 3-1/4″ pieces from Caramel Solid Cardstock. Place a strip on the 45-degree cutting line on the 12-Inch Trimmer with the corner on the dashed cutting line and cut a diagonal. Flip the strip to its backside and repeat with the other end. Repeat with the second strip.

Step 3: Adhere the two strips on the rectangle piece so the diagonal edges form a peak for the roof. Use All-Purpose Scissors to cut off the excess from the rectangle piece.

Step 4: Using the CCS Oval Pattern, center the center of the pattern about 2-1/4″ from the top of the dog house. Cut on the inside with the Green Blade to cut out a partial oval.

Step 9: Adhere the dog houses to the top and bottom of the white heart piece.

Step 10: Add stickers as shown using Foam Squares.
