True Friendship by Tammy Klingner

Hi everyone Hope you have had a great start to 2016!   Today I'm sharing a layout about one of our other fur-babies. Last week I shared an emotional layout about saying goodbye to one of our pets.  It reminded me that I needed to scrap one of our other cats, and the special relationship  she has with my son.   So this is about Mia. Mia came to be in our lives about 4 years ago. The home where she was living, could no longer give her the care she needed. So as I'm  a bit of a sucker, I took her in. She is now over 16 years old.  When we took her in, she was quite feisty (as many cats are) and  not a real cuddly girl.  Well very quickly she bonded with my son.  She sleeps on his bed,  and although she gives us all a nip every so often, she has only love for my son. She has become a real loved and special part of our family.  

    I had a lot of fun with this layout, and took inspiration from the colours in the photo - the  blue of my son's shirt, and the black of Mia!   I scraped some paint directly onto the page, as well as spritzing some ink spray,  and flicking lots of black paint.     It got pretty messy!    

 I then added a few strips of paper, some paper frames, and some 2 Crafty Chipboard - I really  love those circle clumps - aka Dotty Bits. Overall it's a bright, happy and messy page.    See you next week!
