A House Is Not A Home Without A Cat

Good Morning my lovely crafty friends. Are you good today?

I would like to introduce our new rescue cat Sybil today and also show a card I made dedicated to her..

Here is Sybil

She is 2 years old and as you can see is quite a fat cat. Now she has a home she is starting to lose weight. She also has blocked tear ducts so her face can look mucky at time as her tears fall and dust gathers on them. She won't let me clean her face but does so herself when she can be bothered lol. You can't see from the pics that she has 1 green ey and 1 blue eye. She is adorable and is now starting to be very loving towards us.

Here is her card....

It took me 3 attempts to get this shaker card right lol. I followed the instructions out of the magazine the stamps and embossing folder came with (Simply Cards and Papercrafts) and still struggled. I got it in the end!

Challenges:-

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes - optional Shaker Card
A Bit More Time to Craft - Anything Goes
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.

Happy Bird-Day to You

Good morning crafty friends. Hope you are all not too cold today. Snow is heading to the UK and freezing temperatures too which means I will just get into my craft room and get warm there lol.

This cute birdie is from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and is called BUGBDAYBIRD3. I have coloured this cutie in with ProMarkers and the papers are Echo Park. That sweet ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl. I have die-cut and paper pieced the stars. Last but not least the sentiment is computer generated by me :)

There is another wonderful challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty this week and the theme is USE YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR OR EMBELLISHMENT.

I decided to go with my favourite colour. Now this was a hard one for me as I love Pink, Purple and Blue equally. In the end Pink won and here is my card.......

This uber cool image is from our sponsor Little Blue Button Stamps and she is called Dread Girl. Now I enjoyed colouring this one very much and I think she looks lovely. I love her big star earring lol.

I used ProMarkers to colour and my papers are LOTV NitWits. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, gems from The Works and ribbon from the Ribbon Girl.
