Cat Lovers Unite!!! The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge is K is for Kitties.

I was so excited about this Kitty challenge as I have many many kitty stamps, it was hard to pick one so I picked two. I used images from Stitchy Bear/Barbara Jensen.  The first card is very plain but there might be some snark on the inside. Check it out.

Now isn't this some "Cattitude" I just love this image. we have closed the cottage and brought all my crafty stuff home, so far I haven't managed to get it back to where it all belongs, so it's taking me twice as long to craft and I don't see much happening in the next few days either. Life sure gets in the way sometimes.

I thought this sentiment worked perfect for the image.

Now for my second card ~~ Christmas kitty

Another kitty from Stitchy Bear/Barbara Jensen, the Santa hat is from High Hopes along with the sentiment "Merry Christmas, EH!" Just a little bit Canadian LOL.

I used the snow flurries embossing folder and I think the sentiment is from Stampendous.

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers check out the rules and what the rest of the sisters have made for the challenge.

Cat Lover's Blog hop Card 2

Here is my second card for the Cat Lover's Blog Hop, I have so many cat stamps I could probably have entered two cards every day for at least a week. Fluffles is one of my favourites, they were made by Stampendous and they have been deleted from their roster. You can still pick them up on EBay. I used one of my Fluffles Christmas stamps, it was a tough job picking just one.

This is a fun stamp and I was working on using up some  scraps too.

Thanks for checking again today and I promise its the last one for today but do check back tomorrow for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge.

A Cat Lover's Blog Hop meets the Tuesday Morning Sketch.

Finally I found a little bit of time to create a card for the  Cat Lover's Blog Hop, I loved the Tuesday Morning Sketch this week and knew I wanted to try it, I'm sure I will use this one again.

I used my Penny Black cat stamp with presents, this works for Birthdays as well as Christmas and have used it a few times for both. The sentiment is a UFO I found while rummaging through my "bits" box, it's from a retired set from Stampin'up. The die cut is Fleur dis lis square from Spellbinders. The snowflakes are EK punches.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture but it does show the super cute Cat.

Challenge #225 at Shopping Our Stash is ~~ Go Paperless!!!

Looking for my Clear it Out Tuesday post scroll down or click HERE

Shopping our Stash is going paperless ~~ which means NO patterned paper allowed.  Now I make lots of cards without patterned paper until that is the challenge LOL. I really had to put my thinking cap on for this one. Fortunately I needed a masculine Birthday card, you know the ones that are a pain to make. I used a classic car stamp from Class Act Rubber Stamps, they are a Canadian company and go to Scrapfest in Kitchener in the spring. I googled the colours of the '57 Chevy although I should have remembered on my own.

I used a diamond type embossing folder I picked up at Winners one day, I embossed temping turquoise and layered it on black. The dots I used are ones that I have made with perler beads.

The sentiment is also from Class Act Stamps 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will join us for the challenge ~~ Go Paperless!!!

It's Holiday Time at Clear it Out Tuesday ~~ Halloween? or Christmas? Your Choice

Challenge #97 at Clear it Out Tuesday is HOLIDAY!!! You get to choose between Halloween or Christmas for the theme and the stash item is Die Cuts. The sponsor for this two week challenge is SLS Lines and I chose to do Christmas.  Don't forget to check the main blog for the rules of the challenge and see which holiday the design team members have made.

Here is the sweet scene I have made with my digital image from the sponsor. The image was colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut out. I took scraps of white and tore the edges, the first one attached on top of the patterned paper, then I placed the image and put two more torn scraps on top. My die cuts were the clouds and the trees.

Stickles was added to the ornaments and the pompoms on the hats as well as the torn edges of the "snow" 

Here is the inside of the card, now looking at this I think I will add some torn "snow" to the base of the trees. 

Thanks for stopping by today and please join us for the Holiday challenge, you have until November 9th at 8 p.m. to enter.

Jingle Belles challenge and an awesome sketch!!!

I had plans to make at least one more card for the Jingle Belle's Pink Christmas challenge and when I saw Jessi's blog post for Tuesday Morning Sketches everything just fit together and I found a little time last night to create.

Everything I used is retired except the snowflake punch and the pink cardstock. I love this paper I have one small square left unless I have some hiding in my pile of papers, must go digging. The cardstock is pink pirouette and sage shadow. The snowman is from Sunshine Designs and is a set of 4, the company that made them has been sold.

Close up of the cute snow-woman and the snowflakes I added pearls just because they were handy on my table.

It's Challenge Time at Shopping Our Stash ~~ #224 Caffeine Fix

It sure was a surprise weekend here in Southwestern Ontario, some places around us had SNOW boy it sure was a cool weekend. The time is here that we close our cottage for the Winter, it isn't winterized, it takes a while to pack everything up that we have managed to bring to the lake over the summer. I took most of my craft supplies back last weekend and only brought what I needed to make a couple of cards.  Well on with the challenge ~~ Shopping Our Stash has another fantastic challenge for you, by now you might be tired of making those Fall/Halloween ones and need a change of pace. The challenge is Caffeine Fix!! use coffee or tea themed things on your project.  Here is what I made.......

I know another house mouse card but they are so cute and this one is in a coffee cup, The cup looks orange but it's really coral and does match the paper. I added the home made dots hoping they remind you of coffee beans. The patterned paper was a scrap, and was the only non-Halloween paper I had here. 

I stamped the little critter on a scrap of cardstock and fussy cut him out and popped him up.

Of course I didn't to drag too much with me so I don't have a appropriate sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today and if you need a caffeine fix please join us for the challenge.
