Art Impressions Cat Lady

Good Morning all, I hope you're all having a great weekend!

A challenge blog teamie is going through a pretty tough time at the mo' and I would just like to send her special Get Well Soon Wishes XXX  

I made a little kitty treat bag to share today! I have 9 cats (all were strays and just turned up starving, or were in need of a home and adopted from the SPCA) 2 of them have been having health issues and yesterday hubby and I spent the morning at the Vet Clinic with them. They aren't out of the woods yet but I thought it would be nice to make them a little treat bag to put some very special nibbles in there for them ;-) 

Now I know some of you will think I have completely gone off my rocker, but really, honestly, I am not a mad cat lady!!! 😜

I used a super cute Art Impressions Cat Lady Cling Stamp Set and a Lawn Fawn Goody Bag Die. I stamped the paw print background using a Furry Kisses Stamp Set and Watermelon Ink and used a LF Harold's Alphabet Stamp Set for the sentiment banner 

Thanks for looking!! :-) 

I receive a small commission on sales through my blog, this makes no difference to the amount you pay. I donate 100% of this to various charities, including SPCA Gozo, Birdlife Malta, Island Sanctuary Malta, Oxfam. every little helps xx Thank You

Simon Says Stamp Classic Bicycle

Just a note to say that my thoughts are with the friends and families of the poor people who were involved in the Genoa bridge collapse. Such a terrible tragedy, so very sad.

I am here to share a card I made using a new Classic Bicycle Die from Simon Says Stamp!

I started by slightly blending Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced marmalade Distress Oxide Inks onto some Watercolor Paper. I then die cut the bicycle from the paper and again using Silver Card stock. I then layered the bike as shown. 

I also used a fabulous Reveal Wheel from Lawn Fawn, love this die set!! :-) The papers are from older, now discontinued, Lawn Fawn Paper Packs 

and I finished the inside 

Thanks for looking!

Simon Says: Back To School

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is 

Back To School

The stores are full of back to school stationary but a notebook, diary or even a bookmark is so much nicer when it is handmade with love! Why not make a little card to pop into a child's lunchbox too. So many things that we can make! We will be looking forward to seeing what you decide to create!

We are showcasing some fabulous Penny Black Productsthis week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used!

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Julie, and the DT have made :-)

I made an encouraging 'Back To School' card using a 'You're My Type' Cling Stamp. I love these quirky cats and need to get the whole range!! 

I have 9 cats and Amy, my daughter, has a special one called Tigger, so I coloured him to match ;-) I coloured with Copic Markers and kept the card fairly CAS.  

and I finished the inside using a new Simon's Exclusive Perforated Flaps Die Set and Brush Stroke Messages Stamp Set and High Dive Ink Pad 

and when you lift the flap there is a little kitty ready to go shopping. I will pop a gift card in here ;-) 

and this is our lovely handsome Tigger helping me in my craft room (please excuse the messy background ;-)
