SCRAPBOOKIT - February Challenge..

Hello there,
So very nice to have you drop by! I am pleased to say we are having a break from the extreme heat we were having last week..  We got up to 46c on Sunday.. which is about 115f.. so very hot..  Today is quite pleasant, very summery but with a breeze...

I have been scrapping, mainly layouts for March,  but have created a layout for SCRAPBOOKIT which this month is using a fabulous sketch from Laura Whitaker who creates lovely easy to follow sketches.. and it looks like..
with the added criteria to use some gold and some washi tape as well as some lyrics on your page.. 
My daughter got a kitten from the RSPCA for her birthday last year, so I have used two photos of them together.

some closer views.
 my corner cluster!

some fussy cutting!!

Pussy cat Pussy cat...  I love you....

My washi runs up the side of my layout and there is a gold doiley and gold spotted papers.. I remembered that Tom Jones sang a song with the words.. pussy cat pussy cat I love you... 
You can see it...HERE!!!!!
My Daughter called her cat Orva  which in French means 'worth gold' and in Anglo Saxon means 'brave friend' so a pretty unusual but beautiful name..
Thanks SCRAPBOOKIT for a great challenge this month..
And as always thank you for coming by and for the wonderful comments you leave me too..
Enjoy the rest of your day!!

  9. You are the Queen of die cuts Lizzy . As always your page is stunning. Love the meaning behind the name of your DD's Cat. The colours work so well with your background paper and I like the texture you have addes as well. Glad it has called down from last weekend, that was just way too hot. It was a record for us, looking like rain here atm, so fingers crossed

  14. Hi Lizzy! First of all, thanks so much for visiting my blog today! Secondly, I absolutely LOVE the gorgeous layout you created using Laura's awesome sketch! Those photos are amazing - you scrapped them so beautifully. I love your clusters, too! I hope you keep getting relief from your extreme heat. We are supposed to have spring like weather this weekend and I am looking forward to a break from the cold! Hugs to you, my friend!

  15. Hey Lizzy....so glad to hear that your weather is a little cooler! I can imagine that at 46C you were melting. We had similar hot weather a few weeks ago and luckily it has cooled down also, with nice amounts of rain! ;-) Loving the page of your daughter and her kitty! Love the blooms and clusters! ;-)

  16. A stunning interpretation of the sketch Lizzy and I love the clusterings, especially the peaked doily at bottom left. A beautiful name for your daughter's cat and I laughed at the little image about charging the cat! So much to look at on this multi-layered page - it's just beautiful.
