AND if you go over to the Art Impressions Facebook Pageclick 'like' and leave a comment to say that Simon Says Stamp have sent you, you will be entered into a prize draw where you could win this pack of Christmas Stamps worth over $100 !! Woo Hoo !! 


I would like to thank the lovely people over at Art Impressions, especially the lovely Kate :-) They have been so generous and also sent all the DT a stamp of their choice to use for the challenge !

I chose this new Cat Lady Tri Fold stamp set 



OMG ,, she looks just like ME with all of our cats  ( if you didn't already know we have 7 little cuties :-)) I have tried to colour them to match mine ,, haha , the ginger tom is Tiggie, the grey one is Tom, the multi coloured one is Phoebe, Jack is hiding underneath the chair ,,  Mopsy is too difficult for me to colour so I left her in the kitchen having an early lunch :-)

I used a new Simon's Exclusive Brackets die to shape the top and I used a Wood Veneer Cat from Studio Calico to pop his foot against the door to stop it opening, then you just move it slightly and then ,,,,,,,,, the best bit !!

 I love how it opens up ! 
and that sentiment is PURRRFECT ! :-)



I really didn't want to add any embellishments to it,,, I thought the stamp was fabulous on its own and needed no distractions. All I did was to add a clock, cut on the Silhouette Cameo and set to almost 1pm kitty lunch time :-)

I had alot of fun making this and I know the DT had fun with their stamps too ,,, these Art Impressions stamps are hilarious  !! LOVE THEM :-)

So now it's your turn !! Hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and join in the fun !

This is so adorable Lols - a brilliant image and I love the variety of cats you've managed to 'cram' into there - especially the tortoise shell ones. 16 cats + 3 extra on the inside - that's a lot of colouring - phew!!!!!
Love it!!!
