Rae's Paper Bag Album

Well it's been awhile since i have blogged or even created anything have been busy with visitors and general life and my mojo must have gone on holidays too lol.

I do have a little something to share although unfinished as i still need to add bits. I was inspired with Sammy's creations and wanted to have ago so here are some pics of what i have done so far.

In mine as i have a huge love for German Scrap it played a major part in my album along with Papers from Donna Salazar.

I wanted a vintage feel and i think i may have got it - what do you think???????

Happy creating and until next time - hopefully not that far away this time :-)

This is my Interpretation of a sketch designed by Beck Fleck

The title of this one below is meant to be 'Putting the perfect layout together' - i'm not real happy with it but thought i'd share anyway.

It's Jessiah nickname Feral - although he has improved with age . He even told me that Uncle Noel said he wasn't FERAL no more lol!

Last i wanted to share a pic of a little vistor that popped in to say hello last night - I got a bit close with the camera and he flew away scaring the S#@! out of me :-)

My mum is right into birds so i emailed her to ask what it was and here's her reply -

I think your owl is a junior Barking owl [Ninox connivens]. Large, bright yellow eyes. Almost no facial mask. Upperparts brownish-grey, coarsely spotted white. Flight feathers, tail, barred lighter. Underparts white, streaked brownish-grey. MALE larger. Size 40 cm. JUV. incomplete collar; flanks and breast have pattern like adults. Northern birds browner, darker, smaller. VOICE explosive, dog-like, double bark; wavering human-like scream; grating trill; various growls HABITAT forests, woodlands. Found all over Australia except deserts.
