Sending....

...love and hugs

"Sending" is another new die from Simon Says Stamp.  I pretty much cased a Simon Says Stamp card by a DT member but no name was given.  Don't have my mojo back so casing some cards really helps.  Love this adorable stamp from Inky Antics.

These came together quickly, so I made several for my emergency stash.

A2, photographing white has never been my forte

simple inside to go with my note with grey shadowing on bottom

Tea Time

(inside):  It's not gossip; it's necessary information!

There's something a tad more eloquent in gossiping over tea in a Tea Room than over coffee in a Starbucks...haha  But when all is said and done we make sure to "Bless his/her heart".

It was time to make some cards with Art Impression images I had colored while my DH was in the hospital back in February.  Yup, that's how long they have been sitting on my desk.  Isn't this kitty a hoot and that birdcage for a hat...bah ha ha ha!  I'm still trying to keep the cards clean and simple...something about hot weather that does it to me.

I hope you can see the darling silver teapot/teacup charm at the bottom, under the bow.  I bought a whole bunch on ebay so I thought I had better start using them.

Friends Fur-ever (2nd posting today)

I made a card/box like this last year using different images and papers.  I loved it so much and it being easy and fun to make, I thought I would try again and entered it into the Clearly Inspired Challenge.  The theme is "puppy love'...well, if this isn't puppy love, then I don't know what is...lol  So sweet!  The stamp image is from Inky Antics called Best Friends.  I have a friend whose birthday is nearing . This will be perfect to hold the gift certificate.

Birthday Blog Hop at Paper Pretties

I just love this diva kitty and couldn't resist making a birthday card with her. She's called Cat on Couch from Paper Pretties.  We always get to have a little blog hop on a DT member's birthday!  My inspiration comes from Jennifer Greco...also a DT member with Paper Pretties.  You should have arrived here from Kristine Reynolds blog.  After visiting me, you should head to Jackie's blog.

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Bugaboo Stamps

No "pussy footin' around"....I'm so loving the "Make It Snappy" images being introduced at Bugaboo Stamps!  I have some friends who are devout cat lovers so this little card will be perfect for one of them.  I used a sketch offered in a former Wacky Wednesday challenge. I also used the Christmas balls svg I made in July.

Kitties for Titties

LINK UP FOR PINK

This is my 2nd posting today.  I continue my quest to support LINK UP FOR PINK this being  Breast Awareness Month. 

This particular card is in honor of my cyber-friend Sue (Sue from Oregon).  She recently finished the Susan B Komen Walk. One particular group of ladies walking wore "kitty hats with ears" and their t-shirts read, "Kitties for Titties".  It brought a lot of good, positive attention.  I'll do whatever it takes to do my part in bringing attention to the cause.

A2 size, glitter, stitching, ribbon, embellishment, punches, PS8, copics

This is Raggedy Critters  from Bugaboo Stamps. I tripled her and placed the ribbon upon each shirt instead of using the heart.

Eye of a newt and toe of WHAT!@#? + FREEBIE

Several challenge cards I've been working on.....The first card is for a cute little challenge at Bugaboo "Anything magical" (including potions and witches) and Stretch-n-Bubbles.  The image is free through Monday.  I "scraplifted " the darling sentiment from another challenger.  It really got me giggling! I could use a few giggles right now.  I'm still dang tired from the kitchen fiasco!  I used copics, glitter, stitching and an eyeball for the center of the sinister flower. (Click on the picture to see close up of that adorable frog.) Also for the challenge at  Something Punchy Challenge at Stamp Something.

Size: A2

The second card is for Spyder's Corner Challenge and I used her adorable free image.  I continue to enjoy sewing, copics and glitter with flowers and badges on recent cards and cards that are quick, clean lines and easy.

I'm so far behind on making my svgs, but I will try to do some more toward end of week while relaxing at the beach. Yup, headed to my other "happy place'...the beach for about 4 days.  Next week, I will be back into full swing of things with my card crafting.

Garfield

I don't have cats, but I've always been intrigued by the Pink Panther and Garfield the Cat.  Both are copyrighted and trademarked so the svg can not be sold and is for personal use only.  Download HERE for the svg and HERE for the SCAL2 (scut) file.  (PS - I attempted to eliminate as many extra cuts as possible.)
