September has arrived .... and The Scrapbook Store has another brilliant sketch challenge up, with a great prize for a random winner - $40 instore voucher, and free postage. Enter by uploading your layout to the Gallery....
I have not really followed this sketch, but the outline is 'there'.... not really into mustaches, but I am flowers! The photograph is of my beautiful cat, Malinki. She is a spoiled cat, and has pride and place in the home as being 'it and a bit'... she has quite a story behind her, which I will reveal in future layouts.
Most importantly, she is my best friend, and I love her so much ....

| September Sketch, By Melinda Spinks |
Lots of splattering, inking, spraying and embossing.... I love the way the Shabby Blue, Stampendous embossing powder matched perfectly the Basecoat II, Timber paper. I also used the Aged Silver embossing powder with a Prima mask to create the texture below the photograph. The title, 'unconditional Love' just was perfect....
The flowers were various one's I had in my stash, and seemed to match colour wise. I really wanted to add in some pink since she was a girl, but alas ..... a reason to create another LO. The little 'word' chipboard piece on the flower, comes from a 'word set' which is exclusive to The Scrapbook Store - they are adorable and there is quite a range available. You can see all 'HERE'.
I'll be back throughout the month with further creations...

Hi Sandie, I love this layout and it reminded me of the cat that's adopted our backyard ( I call her Slinky). We've been away for a month and she reappeared the day we got home, I think she visits a few houses in the area because she looks well fed. I'm going back to your blog to catch up on the last month.
Beautiful Sandie!
Love this lay out! It came great Sandie :)
