New PTU Kit Paws for a Cause

:: PAWS FOR A CAUSE ::

A kit close to my heart, as are all my dog-related ones, but this one especially as it is inspired by the Million Paws Walk which takes place on the second Sunday of every May all over Australia, and helps aid the RSPCA.

Every year hundreds of thousands of unwanted, abandoned and neglected pets find shelter with the RSPCA but the charity with only 2% funding from the government can only stretch so far. They don't like to turn away surrendered animals, but sometimes it is necessary due to limited space. I found this out when I rescued Jasper (now part of our family) and no one would take him and suggested the Pound which for me was NOT an option, so now he lives with us (he's the Blue Heeler in the photo of my previews).

However, animals need care too. And I've decided that the proceeds from the sale of this kit will be donated to the RSPCA - as a small gesture to help them help those who ask for so little yet give us SOOOO much!

The BNB Train Departs with Whatever Takes Your Fancy!

:: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE ::
BNB BLOG TRAIN

This month we were given free reign with the theme and palette with whatever took our fancy. I chose Alice in Wonderland, even though I still haven't seen the movie or really read the book - I simply listened to the dramatised audio book sometime last year which I found far more entertaining than a straight out read of an audio book. lol I hope you like it

Please remember to leave some love as a note of thanks when you download as we all appreciate your comments.

To download my part please click my preview
Password: thanks
**This is an Add-On of sorts to a PTU kit which will be released in the coming days**

Now...onto the train!

Friendship Tutorial by Me

(click image for tutorial)

I was inspired this afternoon to write a tutorial. Not just any tutorial, but one without scraps, and using the tools, effects and filters in PSP. So I had a bit of a play with a photo hubby took of myself and Susan (of Tootypup Scraps) when were on holiday in Mildura last month. Susan, of course, thinks the tag could be better if she wasn't in it. lol
I hope you like the tutorial, which can be either animated or not. And please, if you do try it, be sure to send me your results to designed.by.stina@gmail.com
