SCRAPS OF DARKNESS - AUGUST REVEAL AND KIT

Scrappy Dark sisters, Here we are another month almost gone and I am Late again.......

This month Scraps of Darkness revealed their gorgeous Jamaican Sunset kit filled with luscious summer colours to delight our eyes.

Suepup or Charlotte has provided a gorgeous sketch to tantalise us all

So here we have a couple of my layouts, Firstly, Id like to introduce you to

Tammy and Buffy.

I got Tammy, a Cardigan Corgi for my 7th Christmas. She was such a gorgeous girl and after a couple of years she had a litter of puppies. We kept one of the pups, Buffy a male is on the left in the photo.

Tammy and Buffy came everywhere with us, we used to campand travel Australia for long camping trips and we always took our dogs.....

Then I used my current mixed media course Im taking to inspire the next page

Its of my Little Bella, and her Tiara falling off her little head.....Isnt she adorable...ooops Mum, it fall'd off....I used a stencil from last Months kit and added a little saying: She was a creative soul and knew she was loved!

Bella sure knows shes loved and shes always being creative!!!!!

I have to shout out a Humungus Thank you to Manorhouse Creations for the flowers & paper, they saved my bacon this month.....Thank you Nerrida.
I had a major catastrophe with the postal service and wouldnt be scrapping this month without their input!

Please do yourselves a favour scrappy sisters, check out Manorhouse their flowers & paper collections are to scrumptious to pass up....yummy!

My next layout is of My Handsome Big Man Mr Spike....The treasure of his Momma's heart!!!!!

This one looks better in person ,but the afternoon light had set in....... Here is my Big Man on the bed, giving cuddles!!!!!!!!! No matter where I am he follows and if I go take a "nanny nap" hes right there.....

There was this month a mixed media add on, WOW, it is awesome, and the possibilities are endless...I made this mixed media steampunk canvas using the kit contents.....I called it Time Flies....I love steampunk so bought that theme forward

You wont be dissappointed with this kit.....Its scrumptious!!!!!

When i got my first peak at the papers I instantly knew i had to use the many gorgeous faces of Johnny Depp....Instantly  I thought Mad Hatter.....Hellooooooooooo.....The kit was filled with so many awesome embellishments and papers and everything just flew thru my head, and thats never happened before, these papers spoke to me, they actually lead me and that was a surreal experience....I guess all you talented scrappers find that like....yeah we know...but its happened to me.....

Here is JD as the Hatter, isnt he adorable, I used the Finnabair papers and the embellies to show of his eclectic weirdness......

Then I used Suepups gorgeous Sketch, its so out there!!!!!! and supremeo gorgeous Mucho thanks Charlotte!

For my take I wanted to stay true to the sketch as I love it so, the papers are dreamy!!!!! So I thought Alice, you in wonderland Girl, its a freaky place, with smokin caterpillars and the like, so Honey get jiggy

Here is Alice, I used Picasa to turn the photo to its negative form, Giving Alice a freaky glow.....yeah shes hanging with that grub! hahahahaha

I then found a gorgeous hunky dreamy ( excuse my drool) photo of the Depster! as Captain Jack.....Now he can kidnap my bustle anytime his little heart desires! hubba hubba

I found an old vintage brooch on ebay a while back of a pirate ship and it has a little black pearl on it,...helllloooooooooo The Black Pearl.....oh this is to easy, Mels kits make it easy....they whisper.....
So I used the bo bunny and Finnabair papers again with some cheescloth and gears,  I used Mandys awesome pin from the kit and added some dangle charms, Just like in Jacks hair.....I put my main spunk up front.....ahoy there mateys.......

Now I ask you is he not the most Gorgeous thing God created! And God has to be a woman, and she knew we needed eye candy!!!!!!!!...I sure hope you come along to Scraps of Darkness, its so much fun, an awesome group of ladies and the kits are to die and drool over!!!!!!!
