Cathy here with a fun card for you.

Stamp Used:

Poky cat

I started out die cutting 3 black film strips and then 3 white cardstock inserts. 

Next, I stamped Poky cat on the 3 white pieces of paper in different spots to go inside the film strip.

OfCourse when you are taking a selfie you always get photos you don't like. He had a few.

I then embossed a piece of red cardstock with a 3D brick wall. I felt he was going to hang up the selfies on a wall. I also added some number washi tape and buffed it into the brick wall to blend it in.

I must say I didn't come up with this idea I saw it on Facebook from someone else, but I put my own spin on it.
