Sweet Kitty

Here is my fifth card for Gail's "Animal Week" challenge at A Dragonfly Garden. I combined this with Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #15 over at her blog, Fresh & Fun. I really need to play along with Beate's sketch challenges more often because her sketches are always wonderful.

I'm trying to use some of the animal stamps that I don't use very much. I found this sweet little kitty cat for a $1 at a used stamp sale a few years ago. Doing this challenge, however, has made me realize that I am definitely in need of more animal stamps! Seriously!


For some reason, in this picture the cat looks pink. Just so you know...it's not...it's gray with a soft shimmery pink background. Looks much better in real life...believe me. LOL. I didn't mean for the phrase "believe me" to show up either. I think the "me" is part of the word "memories." This is such pretty paper. I love CTMH's colors.

I'm doing good so far with only using paper from my scrap pile and not cutting into new sheets. I'm getting a lot of ideas just by sorting through my scraps. I keep my scraps in hanging file folders by color, so that makes it easier when I go to make a card. Once I choose my colors, I can just pull out that folder and see what I have.

Well, I'm going to leave it at that for tonight. I'm not feeling too well, have had a headache, so I'm going to go give Paul the haircut that I promised him I would give him before his work-related Golf Play Day tomorrow morning, and then I think I'm going to call it a night.
