Day 18 Cat Lovers Challenge

 

Day 18

Today, the answers to Kitty's word search is up and if you didn't get to do it, here it is! Just copy and paste to a document, and enlarge it.   And if you want the answers - find them here   

 I've been finding all sorts of stamps in my stash and now starting to mix up sets to make little 'scenes'. Even found a star punch not used for years!  Oh my goodness the things I have tucked away! 

What do you think?  Is the kitty, naughty or nice?

Entering it into the three places who are honouring Janis and Ike's memory this month

Day 17 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge

Day 17

 Another card done, and loving this month of creativity.  I think I do much better and become more productive in a community like Cat Lovers Challenge that Janis has created and Jo has continued.

I've got to my maximum for Cat Lovers Hop and Tic Tac Toe,  so going with two wonderful challenges who are celebrating Janis and Ike this month.

Crazy for Cats 

and

Show Us your Pussycats

Also over at the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge, Jo has uploaded a funny video that Janis had on her blog re cats - its not the sort of cat video you'd have in your mind - you would never guess what kind in a million years!! 

You definitely want to go see that HERE!!

A fight!

Yassi defending our backyard from a big ginger cat who comes into our yard occasionally of a night and sprays!  My cats stay in our backyard boundary, yes I have trained them (we have extremely high fences and are under supervision at times through the day.  I might add, Yassi has cardiomyopathy!  It took a lot out of her even though I was there in a flash to terrorise the big cat away - he has not been back!

Day 15 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge

 Day 15

First up is my 3rd Tic Tac Toe entry!

If you remember, Gail (one of Janis' Hopper Helpers) is having a little

BLOG TAKEOVER DAY 

 at

The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge, 2023.

To celebrate Janis' love for card making, Gail has created a Tic Tac Toe of  some of Janis' favourite techniques and themes: 

I thought I'd move along the bottom row for this card :

Embossing, Gold, Stamp!  

I absolutely love this idea of Gail's and you can enter up to three cards 

HERE

And with Gail's Lost Coast Designs, there is a Kitty Challenge there too,

So I'll enter this card too, the details of that challenge below:

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda 

collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Challenge #176 - CATS!

 Must use rubber or poly stamps - no digis though :) 

-----------------------------------

There are three more Sponsors introduced today for the 

Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge 

The prizes are lucky random draw.

Alex Syberia Designs - £15.00 voucher from the store

Meghan Kennihan - a gorgeous cat themed Halloween set

Helpful Hopper Becca - Purr-fectly Perfect by Unity Stamps 

(4) stickers from Newton's Nook and a note pad.

---------------------------------

Lastly Game #4 - a quiz  

Becca's Quiz! 

and I can tell you it is not easy!  

There probably 'is' a place to go to to find the answers, but that place is not opening up to me! 

Got most of the questions' answers from here and there, and will definitely have to spend some more time on it.  Some answers I've found are conflicting.  Even tried the suggested site, but nope and I cant get the better of me (insert determination!) We have till the 24th!

Of course its all about cats! 

You'll have to go and see for yourself

Days 13&14 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge

 Day 13 & 14

Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge

& 

Lost Coast Portal (see further down for information!)

This little black cat stamp is bent at 90 degrees, 

and for the cat to cling to the top of the star, I needed her to bend more,  so cut through the leg section and bent her more to as far as it could go, not quite where I'd like, but risking a muscle tear, it was close enough! lol.

Stamping over mis-matched edges of paper is problematic, 

but nothing a black pen could not fix (smile)

We've also been introduced to another wonderful Challenge Blog 

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda 

collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun! 

(enter as many cards as you like!)

Challenge #176 - CATS!

 Must use rubber or poly stamps - no digis

How exciting!  So I'll be entering the above card too

You can find that wonderful challenge and information

HERE!

For Janis and since its the month of Halloween....

The latest challenge - its anything goes or perhaps a Halloween project! 

Crazy for Cats Challenges

                            I wanted to create a little scene here, I call it 'Witch's Cat's Revenge'

Something happened to the witch!
