Just Add Snuggles | You Are My Sunshine
Wendy Rasbach • July 24, 2026

It's been a fairly hot summer for us in Michigan, but my grandkitty, Rigatoni, is as cool as always! I used the You Are My Sunshine collection to show off his latest glamour shot.

Those whiskers on that baby are insanely long! He is the sweetest little cuddlebug - especially after you give him some food. As Grandma, sometimes I get to be the dinner hero when my daughter is out of town. Just look at those eyes! Who could resist?!

I pulled my title from the 100% Sunshine Words die cuts, but it originally said, "Just add water." I don't know too many cats that title would work for, so I used a matching blue cut apart from the Furry Friends Word Flags, and I covered up "water." Then I used the Out of the Blue mini Alphas to change it up to "snuggles." I hung a banner from the Lemonade Mix die cuts underneath to help anchor the title.

I added some mixed media in various locations through two stencils. I find that Spiced Marmalade distress oxide matches this collection well. I sprinkled some stars around in orange and teal from the Under the Stars die cut pack. I decided to go all out with borders as a focal point on this page, so I fussy cut them from the Be Cheerful 12x12 paper. I bent up all of the edges to add plenty of dimension.

Around my photo, I used some of the smaller borders from the Snowcone Borders pack too. After adding a few hearts from the Light Hearted die cuts, I called this layout complete!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you are having plenty of sunshine days wherever you are, and I wish you all happy creating! 💛 Wendy

I’m also a third grade teacher. My creative journey began in 2005 with a blank spiral notebook, a bunch of zoo pictures, some animal stickers, and colorful markers to make a memory book for my daughter, and I was hooked!
