Hi there viewers,
                           Now its not that I been doing nothing that has seen me not posting regularly for months, no it is the fact that I have been very busy! What with one thing and another, working, taking classes, hurting my back (again!) adopting new family members (two little kittens) and working hard on my travel journal which has to be ready for Dec when we head to Sydney I haven't had much time to scrap.

                           Just so you know I was still alive I thought I'd post a couple of cards and tags that I have done quickly mainly through classes attended as it is the only way I get to get my hands dirty at the moment. I am in the process of typing up my journal and that is a long process so there isn't a lot of time for the fun stuff.

The tag is based on one from Tim Holtz's 12 tags of 2013 techniques which I watched on video the other night. He makes everything look so easy and it certainly didn't go as easily as I had hoped. It ended up okay but the patina didn't look like I wanted it to. I always find dragging card through paint and ink tricky as it never seems to look right. I think it is about getting the amounts correct and I am not sure how one gauges that. Anyway I am sure it will come in handy along the line.

 The card I made using up some scraps from a class at Paper Flourish. I'll add it to my collection of cards to use in an emergency as it wasn't made with any one in particular in mind.

To finish off today I thought I would introduce you to Dwaine and Piper. These little loves I rescued from the drainage system from work. They were so wet, scared and bedraggled when I found them but they are doing better now. Aren't they just so cute. People MUST get their cats desexed so that this doesn't happen, it is so unfair on poor little innocent creatures!

Dwaine is a ginger tom and Piper is the little black one.

Dwaine is very confident and cheeky.

Piper likes the comfort of her bother and is still very timid.

Dwaine was found on a Monday (we think they were dumped Sunday night) Piper wasn't found until Friday hence she went through lots more trauma and is showing the effects. Hopefully in time she will feel the love and become a little more confident. Aren't they adorable?

 

Until next time, stay warm and safe....

Angela
