Happy New Year's and a card...

 Hello.  I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year's!  I hope you all have a blessed and happy year ahead!  We don't have anything special planned; just hanging out here at the house with our kitties.  I got to eat so much good food and yummy treats over the holiday; now I need to eat like a normal person again!  lol...  

Here is a card I made using the image "Decorating Tree" from Anne's Digital Art.  It is the image she shared with all of us for The Outlawz Progressive Challenge.  I enjoyed coloring it.

Merry & Bright...

 Hi.  Hope everyone is doing well!  I am still fighting Covid.  I retested Tuesday after a week of being sick and still testing positive.  It has been a doozy, and hubby and I are so ready to feel better.  So many people are sick right now, and my heart goes out to all of them!  I haven't been able to do much of anything since getting sick.  It flared up my syncope problem and Meniere's.   So glad to finally be able to post a card.  

For this card, I used the Gerda Steiner stamp set "Merry & Bright".  I used Azure alcohol markers, Spectrum Noir markers, Prismacolor color pencils, rik rak, bling/dots, and papers from my stash.

I hope you like my card.  Be well and stay safe!

 Hello.  Hope you are all doing well!  We had a good Thanksgiving.  I ate like a P-I-G!!!  But it was so good!  :)

Here is another card I made using the turkey image.  I colored the image using colored pencils.  I made the sentiment on the computer, and the inside of the card reads "Do these feathers make my butt look big?"  Hope you are having an awesome day!  Thanks for looking at my card!

Kitten Kristmas...

 Hi.  Hope you are having a wonderful day!  I am sharing the fifth card I have made for The Cat Lover's Christmas Challenge.  I used a special image on this card; one that came from Ike (Sue Eisenhauer).  It is from the set "Kitten Kristmas" .  I cannot recall if it is one of the sets I won at a previous Cat Lover's Challenge by Janis in the past, or if it one of the ones I purchased.  (I think between winnings and purchasing, I have almost all of Ike's cat images".  Sadly, we lost Ike (Sue) a couple of years ago, but I was so happy to see that her store is still open.  I love that the art she shared is still available for others  Ike's Art Digital Images.

Supplies Used:

• Kitten Kristmas digital stamp set from Ike's Art
• Wax stamp-Recollection Noel wax stamp kit
• Stampin Up!-Tis the Season Designer Series paper
• Spectrum Noir markers
• Colored pencils

The Cat Lover's Christmas Challenges Card #4

 Hi.  Back again to share another card I made for The Cat Lover's Christmas Challenge.  Having a good time with the challenges, and so happy to note that there is still plenty of time for people to sign up and play along!  The Cat Lover's Christmas Challenge

Here is card #4 for the challenges.  I used the Cottage Cutz die (from Scrapping Cottage) called "Santa's Hat Cat"  I really enjoyed making this card.  The die cuts all of the pieces from one solid die, so I like to cut them out of white card stock, and then color them with stamp ink and alcohol markers.  I used die cuts, paper and ribbon from my stash.  I hope you like my card!

Cat Lover's Christmas Challenge Day #1

 O.k., as always, I am running behind!  October 3rd marked the beginning day for the Cat Lover's Christmas Challenge at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge blog.  The Challenge is in honor of Janis Woolbright, who had the wonderful Cat Lover's Blog Hop every year in October.  Sadly, Janis passed this past January.  Jo, from the Kickstart Challenge wanted to continue the tradition that Janis implemented every year to honor her memory.  

Janis was a kind and beautiful soul!  She always had the nicest things to say to everyone, and she made all of the posters on her blog feel so welcome!  She was an avid cat lover and also a wonderful card maker.  She made such lovely cards.  October was always a fun time on her blog with the October Cat Lover's Blog Hop.  That is where I came to know just a little of Janis.  She shared the cutest kitty jokes and pics on her blog, and I looked forward to seeing her posts and her beautiful cards.  She was super kind and always left the nicest comments on my blog.  I have missed her!  I enjoyed getting the notice of her posts in my feed and seeing what she made, and I also miss her sweet comments on my blog.  She was a bright light in this world, and her absence has left a void.  I have no doubts that she is in heaven spreading her kindness and warmth and giving animals and cats much love and affection!  That is just the impression I have left of her in my heart.

I don't know that I've had the opportunity to participate in one of Jo's challenges in the past, but I am so looking forward to playing in her Cat Lover's Challenge.  The theme is Cats and Christmas, so be sure that the cards you would enter feature Christmas and a cat.  I have been looking forward to it, and it is going to be lots of fun.  There are lots of games and prizes and random drawings.  There will be people posting about their kitties and lots of fun to be had.  I know Jo has worked really hard on this; along with some other ladies that have helped her, so it is awesome to see what she has done!  The challenge runs through October 31st.  I hope to see you there!  The Cat Lover's Christmas Challenge

I'm Late...

 Well, I'm late getting in my project for the September Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz.  Where did the month go?  I thought sure I had a few more days.  DER!!!  Sad thing is that I had it made, but just hadn't uploaded the pic yet.  YEESH!  Oh well, I guess better late than never!  Love the image from Sandra; made the perfect background for my card!  Her image is called "Flower Background".  I also used the digis, "Build a scene lamp" from Polkadoodles and " Cat's Favorite Chair" from A Day for Daisies.

I hope you like my card!  :)
