Cats
as the current challenge over at Moving Along With The Times .
I hope you can join us on this one, there are loads of cat stamps out there - the hard bit is deciding on which one to use! The prize this time around is this is this wooden Hampton Art Stamp
So I went with a new PB called It's Your Day, I got it from Sam as she won it in a prize from Laurie when she did an earlier MAWTT challenge - so I guess it's thanks to both of them that I now have this little beauty!
Papers again are LOTV, as is the sentiment and the card is decorated further with ribbon, glossy accents, pearls and heart diecuts.
Challenges;
Hobbycutz - Lots of Layers
SSW2 - Another beautiful sketch to follow
Deep Ocean Challenge - Birthdays
Shopping Our Stash - Winter Blues
Cutie Pie Challenge - Cute & Blue
Kaboodle Doodles - Use Blue
Make It Monday With Kraft Outlet - Kraft & Winter Blue

613 Avenue Create - Winter Blue
And now a story that happened a few months back, which made this stamp so perfect. When Merlot had only been with us a few weeks, he followed me about like a shaddow - still does when he's in the house! Anyway, one night I went for a bath and you know whats coming... little Lotty jumped up on the side and was happily patrolling the perimeter when the inevitable happened and he went for a dip. Strange thing is he wasn't that phased, just soaked thru!
And this is my shaddow before his op as I upload cards!

Hi Janice, Oooh that is one cute image! Love the layout and touch of kraft as well!
And isn't Merlot just the handsomest little boy! Glad to hear he's recovering from his op. When we had the kittens 'done' we sent them off to the vets saying two girls to be done. Ewok had had his (oh yes!) side shaved before the Vets phoned and said nope one boy one girl!!
Great challenge!

Gorgeous card Janice, such a fabulous image and I love the papers and layout.
Awwww such an adorable photo, poor thing falling in the bath though, so funny that he wasn't phased by it!

I'm so glad you have managed to put that super stamp to good use, i mean a girl can't have 2 of the same stamp and keep it for herself, when her buddy is CAT mad :-)
Oh what a giggle about your cat falling into the bath, it's funny Whisper loves river bank dirty water, but goes like a donkey, when you get her near clean water :-), Luv Sam x
Your little helper is just adorable and so is you card, I just love PB images. Super cute. Thanks for joining us this week.
Hugs, Heide SSW2-DT
Adorable card Janice - love the color combo and fabulous image.
Merlot is soooooo cute - looks so much like my little Pickle-Lilicat.
She used to be my shadow too when we first got her - still is to a certain extent - loves to curl up on my knee in the evening.
