party hat cats

hello again and happy new year! at tag tuesday we are challenged to "celebrate" and at lost coast portal to creativity we've got "anything goes." so i brought out my lost coast designs "party hat cat" stamps to party with!

despite their serious faces, these cats are decked out in party hats for sweet celebration.  my backgrounds are spritzed watercolor inks and the stamping is done simply in dark blue and dark brown inks. the super cool fiber ribbons were a gift.

play along!

i love cats, i love art, and i love a nice party.
happiness and love to all.

our animal angels

the new challenge at tag tuesday is "cats."
i think our cats are our angels and i think angels watch over our cats! my dear gilda has been gone several years now and i have not added a new animal companion to our home.
i enjoy living through the cats of my friends and the ones in our art!

cat and angel are from lunagirl collage sheets.
the rest is stash.

love to all.

party cat in the stars

this month's challenge at lost coast portal to creativity is "use a stenciled background."  i struggle to get good effects with stencils but i decided to give it a go anyway.

the stars stencil is from winnie and walter and the stamp is by lost coast designs "party hat cats".  i used a silver sharpie with the the stencil.  the gorgeous background paper is from the itKuPiLLi primavera paper pack.

love to all.

cats/katzen

for moo mania and more cats/katzen challenge:

my first 1.1x2.8 inch moo is a cheshire cat, stamp company unknown with a sentiment from viva las vegas stamps, stamped on designer paper from my stash.

my second moo features a stamped image from lost coast stamps, again stamped on designer paper from my stash.

i'm a cat lover so i always appreciate a cat theme!
love to all.

furry friend

earlier this month we said goodbye to our sweet gilda, friend and companion for 18 years.  she was an orange tabby.  i still think of her and expect to see her around the house.  but her time had come.

the cat in this ATC, though she doesn't look like gilda, has had me thinking of her.  i made this ATC in response to the prompt at wicked wednesday "furry friends."

i used an image from a lunagirl collage sheet "yictorian cats," french newsprint background paper from my stash, a flower stencil and spray water color ink, lace and a butterfly brad to embellish this piece.

love to all, especially our dear animal companions.

c is for cat

the challenges at the lunagirl moonbeams blog now last for one month so there is still plenty of time to play along with our "animals" theme!  i have another "alphabet ATC" to hopefully spark your interest in joining the challenge. 

you do not have to make an ATC, you can make any creation featuring an animal.  i am just trying to ultimately create a full set of alphabet cards!  this sweet kitty comes from the lunagirl "vintage cats" collage sheet.  i used designer paper from my stash, 2 types of washi tape, letters from a tim holtz collection and a butterfly brad.

a randomly selected winner will win shopping credit at the lunagirl store, a fine prize!  i hope you will play along.

love to all.
