Yet more kitty fun!

 


I thought I'd just drop by to mention there's still time to play along in our tribute challenge over at The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge, where we're remembering creator of The Cat Lovers Hop, Janis Woolbright!

I do love this cool dude from Your Next Stamp. What a pity this company is closing it's online store.


He just HAD to be a ginger boy and was so much fun to colour!

Mmmmm, it appears there's just time for a quick cat meme or two...




Have a happy Friday, everyone.

Playing at Some Cat Challenges...

 


I've had a little time for yet another play with that gorgeous Penny Black set I bought on eBay. Isn't this little sorcerers apprentice the cutest?

I wanted to put him on a purple background, but am nearly out of purple cardstock (😱😱😱). It's ok, I've ordered some more. 😌 I sorted through my snippets box and found some lovely bits of card which I cut to size and then ran through my Cuttlebug using a favourite embossing folder.  Phew, what a lifesaver snippets can be! 

I'm entering my card at The Snippets Playground Challenge #465, because... well, SNIPPETS rock!


And I'm also linking at Lost Coast Design where they're supporting The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge with a fabulously, fun Cat Themed Challenge


My little wizard will also be able to cast his spells at Show Us Your Pussycats Anything Goes and Meow-Loween.


And also at Crazy for Cats Challenge #12...


Have a happy Thursday!

Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge Day - #16



Ooooops, guess who forgot to schedule her post for today!

It's Day #16 of The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge where we're remembering our dear friend Janis. Today, we're meeting yet more of our generous sponsors and one of them is a great favourite of mine: Lawn Fawn.


I made these cards using this sweet set Lawn Fawn Pawsitive Christmas.


Mmmmmm, I'll be slipping some glue under that frame where it's lifted!


We're also welcoming two new sponsors to the challenge...

In my opinion, Seven Hills Crafts is one of the very best online crafting shops in the UK and is my 'go to' store. I have no idea how owners Rick and Tara turn around my orders so quickly - if they were any faster there would be a knock on the door as soon as I clicked confirm order!


I bought this set from their store and can't stop inking-up this adorable cat in a hat.

Our second new sponsor is also based in the UK and are called Time for TeaThey are kindly offering the stamp and die set I used to make this cute card...


And if you like Highland cows (well, who doesn't) just take a look at this little set in the Time for Tea store.

I'm so grateful to all of these sponsors for supporting our challenge. If you'd like to join us in our tribute challenge please head here.

Oooooo, look! It's me and all the cats I want!

Hocus Pocus one last time...

Hi guys, I've been having such a blast playing with the Penny Black Spooky set I bought recently on eBay. Isn't this guy so much fun! I'm so sorry I cant find a store to link to that still sells this set.


I'm going to link this little chap at the following challenges:


There's so much spooky fun on offer at LCD for the whole of October!

I don't think this little vampire will be scaring anyone at AI Challenge #362
but I'll link him anyway!
What a great little challenge this is! Please check out 


And another fab, feline-themed challenge - Show Us Your Pussycats


All this and it's only Tuesday! Have a good one, Peeps!

The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge - Reminder

 


During October over at The Christmas Kickstart we're remembering our friend and fellow crafter Janis Woolbright who, for 8 years, ran the Cat Lovers Hop on her blog. This was a 'must play' event for all Cardland cat lovers and a real red letter day on our crafting calendar. Sadly, Janis passed away at the start of this year, so myself and some of her helpers from her Hops are paying tribute to her with The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge.

We're already half way through our challenge and as I'm typing this there are 73 entries in our Linky Gallery. If you're not already playing, please take a look at the Day #1 post and come and join the fun!

Today, I'm sharing two cards made for this challenge...


If I can, I do love to do a little storytelling with my cards and so I really enjoyed using Jane's Doodles set O Christmas Tree she's created for Creative Expressions. In my head these two are called Morgan and Murphy! No, I have no idea why, but aren't they adorable.

I also made this tag-shaped card for Gail's Tic-Tac-Toe using the same set. 


The dies are from Waffle Flower Print and Script Merry Christmas. They're a great size for cards and I'm so glad I bought them.

Here are some fun memes to finish off with...






Have a happy day, peeps...

Hocus Pocus again!

 




I love this pumpkin image from Penny Black's Spooky - isn't it fun! I Picked up this set recently on eBay and am struggling to find a current link. I don't often make Halloween cards, but this year getting a little bit spooky seems to be hitting the spot! 

Lost Coast Designs is a fabulous challenge blog and a great online store too, so why not click the links and go take a look! 


I'm also linking my pumpkin card over at Art Impressions Challenge #162 where they're playing Give Us a Fright! Renee's lantern makes on this post makes are amazing!

And here's another version of the card I posted yesterday featuring a gorgeous image from Angie Blom. 

She was such fun to colour. 

Happy Sunday, peeps!
