Ms Malinki - September Sketch - The Scrapbook Store

 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...

Exploring where we live....


In August we managed to get out and about, exploring some of the areas around where we live.  So, I thought I would share some of the photographs. The one photo of ‘me’ is not being placed up, as John took it while an Emu was chasing me!!!!  It is funny now when I ponder over the memory, but at the time I could have bonked him (and the Emu if I wasn’t so scared of it) on the head!  LOL

Jesse loves birds, he found them fascinating....


I love this photograph, he was just totally mesmerised....

And this cute creature (pig)  just ‘loved posing’ for me ....

Shame I did not get any Kangaroo’s, but they were very lazy and wouldn’t come over to greet us.  Well fed I would say!
