This is my take on the challenge, I Had some very special photos of these beautiful beasts my mother in law had sent me on her recent trip to AFRICA, So Had to scrap them. I decided to revisit some old techniques which I love. So I got out my ultra thick embossing enamel and coated all my chipboard pieces, I did several coats on the title to get it nice and Gold... With the leaves I used a pewter and then stamped into the utee.... Another idea I love to do. I cut out all my circles with metal shim and embossed some with my embossing folders, I really need to use them more!

 

Isnt he just the cutest Putty Cat!!!

 

Love how everything sparkles and shines in the different lights

 

So that a wrap on the June Kraft plus challenge,

In our Hearts forever

Not a day goes by, without a thought about my Baby Girl Princess. Sadly we lost her just before her 5th birthday, Furkids have a special place In your heart, never forgotten and always missed.

 

I was inspired for this page by a tutorial from Georgia Heald, She is a great scrapbooker, I love her style. This page I really enjoyed making.

Now Settled In Darwin

Hey Everyone, So We made the move to Darwin... Yes a Big Change, BUT! life is one big adventure. :) With my husbands Job we get to Move around a bit and see Australia, On the downside we miss our Family so much and the special friends we make along the way.

I Hope for Good things this year, My Scrappy Mojo has Returned!!!, will share some pictures soon.

The past year I have been doing Quilting and have thoroughly enjoyed this, so now I have to incorporate my love for both hobbies and continue to devote time to both equally.

So the Big adjustment to Darwin is the Weather, I pray for RAIN most days!! and do lovely happy dances when this occurs. I have started meeting people and making a few friends along the way, biggest achievement was finding Scrap matrix. The Owner Vicki is lovely and we became friends straight away. And ive made more friends attending crafty days there, isnt the Scrappin Community just great? Be sure to checkout they have a lovely online store too.

My Pets are settling in now too, Middy Moo (the Cat) and Brutus (the Pug).... Love my Fur children so much. And its been amazing having a beautiful park to stroll around with brutus in the evenings, and the best bit its right across the rd.

So Will update New posts, on all things crafty on what ive been up too these days! :)

Our Park across the Rd

This is our New Pad for the next few years!!, we also drove from Melbourne, it was quite an adventure.



Much love Carly xxx
