THE CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 5

Good morning Peeps,

I am getting in pretty early today with my creation for DAY 5 of THE CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP, but first.... some funnies :-D...

This just makes me laugh because it's what my dog does to my cats :-D ..........

I laughed so much with this.... my daughter hates and detests Crocs and she said if I buy any more, she will have to come over and kill me LoL.....

This is pure cat humour..........

Translated :

" You say the dog disappeared ? "

"Bwaahahahaa"

" Hahahahahaha - I'm sorry human "

" Hahahaha - Ok, really...... I'm very sad "

And now - my piece for today. 

This is card made from a portrait I painted of my cat from many years ago. He was called Grizwald and just loved going in the car. He would sit on the back shelf like a nodding dog. Sometimes he would run along the fence and jump on top of the car after I had gotten in. On day he did this, without me knowing,  and I drove out of the drive and half a mile down the road without knowing he was there. I stopped at some traffice lights and he gently slid down the windscreen !!!! I had to take him to my baby's doctor's appointment hahahaha LoL. :-D   One crayyyyzeeee cat !!! :-D

I used to paint pet portraits as a small part-time business in the UK but unfortunately, here in Greece, there is no call for pet pikkies - they don't have the same relationship with animals :-(

So, there we are. This has been a delightful Hop and I have enjoyed seeing all the fabulous creations and meeting new people.

I got so inspired by this that I am thinking of starting a Challenge Blog just for Cats and Cat lovers........ what do you think ????? Would it be popular ?????

Hugz and thanks for dropping in.

THE CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 3

Eeeek !!! - Watch out Peeps.... there's a flock of ferociously fierce Halloween felines coming this way just looking for blood !!!!

Here is my contribution for DAY 3 of THE CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP....

The kitties were stamped with my NBUS "Scaredy Cat" cling stamp set by RECOLLECTIONS using black Whispers archival ink. I then cut them out, added a spot of colour here and there and placed them on a multi colour, multi stamped background, with spritz sprays and daubing too. There's some glitz on the background too and a die cut skully.

The stamp set was sent to me as a gift by a dear friend, so I am afraid I can't add a link to any shop for this. :-(

CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 2

Hello Peeps and welcome to the Cat Lovers' Blog Hop DAY 2 :-D 

This is leading up to October 29th - National Cat Day     YaY !!! 
There were some fabulous kitty creations yesterday on Day 1 and I will be hopping around to comment a bit later :-)

Here is my contribution for Day 2...

The kitties are from SPYDER and were coloured with Promarkers or Prismacolour pencils and the Poem is by John Keats - "To a Cat".

The stamping was done with one of those cube stamps with different designs on each side from StampCraft and I have had it for years :-) I used the fish bones and the pawprints.

I hope you will come along to HER PEACEFUL GARDEN and have a look at the Hop and maybe even play along if you LUV cats too :-D xxxxx

The blog hop starts today and runs until Friday, October 30. Janis has lined up some fabulous prizes, so you will want to head over to her blog for all the details! Guidelines and FAQ can be found here.

THE CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 1

Hello Peeps and welcome to the Cat Lovers' Blog Hop DAY 1 :-D This is leading up to October 29th - National Cat Day     YaY !!! Well - I have got 15 of the little furry critters, so it would so rude not to participate wouldn't it ?? hahaha

Here is my contribution for Day 1...

The background papers are from my box of Halloween snippets stash and I found that I had just one of these cute cat with broomstick brads :-D The pumpkin is made of clay and was from my good friend CREEPY GLOWBUGG (she makes them).

I coloured the kitty in PSE9 and then printed him multiple times to fussy cut and make a 5 layer 3D image.  I cut the spooky letters from magazines.

The kitty is from DIGI DARLA DESIGNS and is called "Kitten n Cloak". I don't think she is trading any more... the Facebook page is very old. :-(

I hope you will come along to HER PEACEFUL GARDEN and have a look at the Hop and maybe even play along if you LUV cats too :-D xxxxx

BUTTERFLY BIRTHDAY

Happy Sunday everyone,
I am trying to find my Mojo recently plus having a massive clear out in the house :-) I had to make a rush card order for a friend yesterday, so at least I had a bit of craft time.
I made this card after being inspired by a gorgeous one made by SABRINA . I have linked up her name so if you click you can visit her :-D

I used an ivy stamp from Dimension Fourth for the background and kind of shadow printed it, and I used the reverse cut out from a die cut at the back. The butterflies are clear stamps from INKYLISCIOUS and everything was stamped with Whispers Archival ink in Rich Plum. Butterflies were coated with Stickles for a bit of bling.

Thanks for dropping in folks and I hope to get a bit more Blog active soon :-D x
