...would be staying home in my room and coloring. How would you answer that question? I just had 4 days off and I was napping and staying up late and it was nice. I was rarely in front of the tv, I was working on projects and in my 'happy' place. Today, reality slapped me in the face at 5:25 a.m., I love the sound of waking up to Jim clearing his throat, clipping his nails. I, on the other hand, tip-toe around without so much as a flicker of light, no turning on the faucet... I swear, right here and now, that all ends today. Hows about a card?
This group of cats could live at my house...no problemo! Stamping Bella's 'attitudy' cats have got the sweetest little faces! Some day I will own more than one cat, {my yorkie is not fond of his feline sister} but until then, I can love these guys!
Can you guess what I used to color up my cats? Yes, you're right...prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I used my oval nestie to cut and shade with chalk inks and I pulled out my nestie tag set...because the sentiment fit inside. I was kinda nervous it was gonna be too long. The paper is from Cosmo Cricket and I used the front/back because the red plaid really caught my eye. The balls seemed to remind me of yarn balls that cats are supposed to love. {I say supposed to, because I don't have any idea if mine would love it...not a string of yarn in my house! lol} Am I slipping from my glitter phase, nah, just another card that didn't seem to say 'throw some glitter on me'. {card size is 4.5x6}
Now, onto some business called BellaRIFFIC friday! We got a sketch folks and Jen del Muro has worked her magic again. Check it out...

This would be the perfect card here in our house today. My 18 year old just adopted a kitten from the Humane Society today. Black and white though, and she called him Oreo. Beautiful card Paula.

That background paper immediately made me think of yarn balls being played with! You are just too clever. Great card and love the way you coloured the cats... I am challenged by cats!

Being a cat love (we have 5) I couldn't resist saying how cute this card is. I love the paper with the balls and did think of yarn when I saw it. Super cute.
