I had several vintage cat images in my stash, and decided to turn this one into a card. I love the expression on Mama Cat's face. Can't figure out if she's thinking, "When will this day ever end", or " I just finished cleaning, and now they're at it again". Either way, it was time for me to use whip this up for the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop on the Her Peaceful Garden blog. We don't have any cats anymore, but I'm a cat lover from way back (even had cat jewelry and made TWO cat vests for myself...haha!) Now I am content with making cat themed cards and watching funny cat videos on Youtube. I used paper from my stash, a scalloped rectangle die by Winnie and Walter (no longer in business, sad to say), scalloped circle die by Die-sire, seam binding ribbon, and even forced myself to use a paper flower. The little brad in the flower center has glitter on it, and so I was hoarding it (as crafters will do). My new resolution though, is to USE IT UP...so there it is on this card.
Don't forget to leave a comment on each one of my projects to be in the running for my Cat Lovers prize giveaway. Thanks for joining in!
A lovely vintage image on your beautiful card, Karen! That's the look on my face when I find crumbs on the floor as soon as I've finished vacuuming! Lovely to see you again at the Cat Lovers Blog Hop. xx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This card is just so gorgeous! I love the vintage style of it big time!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to be back to say hi again and see what you are up to! I absolutely get the 'use it up again'! Mother Kitty looks like she is 'sighing' and will be relieved to see her little lovelies in bed asleep! Gorgeous card! Happy Hopping with Cat Lovers!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Love this vintage image you have used. I love all things vintage. And yay for using a brad (I have a whole drawer full!).
ReplyDeleteSince I can't get my blog working at the moment, I'm taking a break to pop in and say HI! She looks about as aggravated as I feel right now. Ha! Love the frame=up in soft colors!
