Earlier I though that page with these photos will be at the same (as photos) colors - grey and hint of red. Well, creating is different than planning ;) I used the least suitable for use: scraps, pieces from other projects etc.
I arrange papers from MME, 7Dots and The ScrapCake to 8x8inches piece and stapled, connect with adhesive tape. I glued photos (connected with staples) with adhesive 3d tape in the center and started to add stripes cutted from small scraps. Polka Dots are from MME, flying pigs are from Graphic45. I don't remember of what my cat looked then but pigs match perfectly ;)
I added some washi tape, some alpha stickers and then apply white gesso for quite large are of my page. I apply gesso with silicone brush to get thin, plain layer.

My page is proof that all scraps must be used! :D and effect can be so interesting :) Random things like folding paper, cutouts, random distressing or other (eg cut openwork pattern was supposed to be the top of the box) are cool way to enrich Your work.
