Our Sweet Leo...

 We lost our sweet Leo March 5th, 2025.  We miss his sweet personality and adorable face!  He was such a good natured and laid-back kitty.  We had to be his doormen; letting him in and out many times throughout the day.  He liked to curl up just as close as he could get to me to sleep.  He was such a blessing in our lives!  We miss him!  Our sweet little Swirly Tabby!

He actually came here for two years to visit and eat before he came here to stay.  We called him "Big Head", as he had such a large head for such a small body.  When he came here to stay for good, he got all the food he wanted all the time, so he gained weight and grew into a full sized cat.  He was such a sweetheart!

Teddy...

 Hello.  Hope you are doing well!  Here is a card I created using the image "Teddy" from Anne's Digital Art.  It is the February image for The Outlawz Progressive Image Challenge.  The sentiment I used is from Beccy's Place from a digital set "My Heart".  I used Gina Marie Pleated Lace Rectangle dies, Momento Hexagon dies, washi tape, Staedtler Color Pencils, and The Paper Studio card base.  I made the mint background using photo paper, spray glue and an ink pad.  I made the pink background using homemade alcohol inks from dried up markers.  I hope you like my card!

A Thank you card...

 Hi.  Hope today finds you well!  Here is a card I made using the stamp set "Bunny Lovin'" from Virginia Turtle.  I used the die sets Simon Says Stamp Nested Banners and Spellbinder's Labels #8.  I used my Prismacolor colored pencils and ribbon and papers from my stash.  I made this into an A6 sized card.

Flying By To Say Hi...

 Hope everyone is well and having a great day!  Here is a card I made with the Outlawz Progressive October image "Planes" by Cara. I love the swirly clouds and paper planes.  They go perfectly with another stamp set that I have Lawn Fawn's "Flying By".  I used water and inks to smoosh the background, along with the following supplies.

• Digi image "Planes"by Cara
• Lawn Fawn "Flying By" stamp set
• CTMH Simple Stitches stamp set
• Recollections Planner Occasions stickers (corners)
• One Heart One Mind Art Deco Doo Dads Rub-ons
• Fishtail Banner dies
• Aquamarine alcohol marker
• Dots made with hole punch, card stock, dry embossing stylus and mat
• Smooshed stamp ink background

Fancy Pants

 Hi.  Hope today is finding you well!  I worked on a card today and was able to actually get it finished!  Whoo Hoo! 

I used this stamp, "Diva Hopper" by House Mouse.  I coated it with Aleene's Tack It Over and Over to store it in a cd case.  

  

So I used this stamp, Spellbinder's Nestabilities Circle dies, Chevron dies, bow die, Recollections Hobo paper pad, Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Prismacolor pencils, a friend die cut (from my stash), and plenty of scrap paper pieces that I used the Chevron die to cut.  I used an aqua/teal card base from The Paper Studio.  This was a fun card to make, and as always, the kitties helped!  Thank you for looking at my card!

Another Tiger...

 Hello.  Here is another card I made using the Stamp "The Courageous Tiger" from For the Love of Stamping by Hunky Dory.  I was testing out different black inks, so I stamped out multiples with this stamp.  I water colored the image.  I guess I was in the mood to make animal cards!  :)
