A Good Day

GIVEAWAY! (As this is in appreciation for those who participate in the Cat Lovers Hop, entry in the drawing requires an entry in the hop challenge. Thanks for understanding!)

Here I am, back again, to share this card for the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop. Everyone knows that cats love nothing more than to knock things onto the ground and make a nice mess, so I used the Hello Stampurr set to create this scene of two naughty kitties who have scattered books and cards across the floor...while acting perfectly innocent. "Who me? No, it wasn't me". The papers are by DCWV and the sentiment is Simon Says Stamp.


 

I would like to offer a cat stamp by Nellie's Choice to one, randomly chosen commenter to thank you for checking out my project and joining in the hop.  Sorry for the glare but I can't seem to get a decent photo and didn't want to open the package. Open to US or International.

Here is another card, made with some of those old stationary elements.  I, again, used papers by Graphic45, along with the same paper lace, a sentiment by Anna Griffin, and added a small bow with pearl center. Isn't this a handsome pair of cats?

Charming

 GIVEAWAY! (As this is in appreciation for those who participate in the Cat Lovers Hop, entry in the drawing requires an entry in the hop challenge. Thanks for understanding!)

I bought a sheet of stationary over 20 years ago that featured the sweetest Victorian kittens, and could never bring myself to actually write on it. So, I finally pulled it out two weeks ago and proceeded to snip and trim, to turn the elements into a card.  I combined the kittens with paper by Graphic45, paper lace, and a stamped sentiment by 7Gypsies. This card used items and supplies from three different companies that have been languishing in my stash for 8-25 years. Yay for stash-busting!

Still having trouble getting a decent photo, due to glare, argh!

Can you believe it's the 8th year of the Cat Lovers Hop? I still remember when it was a twinkle in Janis' eye Her Peaceful Garden ...should she do it, should she not?  As you've figured out, she did decide to host one and here we are. I am pleased to one of the guest designers on this year's 2022 Cat Lovers Hop again, and am sharing a card made with a stamp by VivaLasVegastamps, which is one of the sponsors. I have quite a few VLVS images in my stash, as I collected unmounted stamps years back. This one was begging to be inked up for the hop. I love the vintage look of the image..

 Did anyone's mom or grandmother have a kitchen towel or potholder embroidered all in red, in the style called Redwork? I remember a kitchen towel in my Grandma's kitchen that seemed to be part of a "Days of the Week" set, with only the "Tuesday" part left. This card is inspired by redwork, and I just love the charming mama kitty, by VivaLasVegastamps, hanging up mittens to dry on wash day.  I used a Spellbinders die, and eyelet and embroidered lace by May Art Ribbon. The sentiment is by Cardz TV.

Unforgettable You

 Here is another card that I made with the K&Co embellishments that have been gathering dust for over 10 years. As before, the papers I used are from Small Wonders by K&Co. The small die cut doily is by Stamplorations (Bloomdale Bliss - Felicity die)  and I tied some jute twine in the middle of the flower to add texture. I also used strips of paper scraps to layer behind the main focal point.
