Belated Easter Wishes & Kit Cats

Good Tuesday, everyone!
I hope you had a blessed Easter (or Passover)! I enjoyed a lovely weekend with family...and maybe a few too many Peeps and mini peanut butter cups. ;) The only downside was that, yet again, I am late with my Kit Cat. Thankfully, the Kittens are a patient and very understanding litter.(Love you girls!)
All the kits have been so nice and so fun to work with, and one day I will catch up on the previous two that need to be finished and posted. But for now I am uber happy to be sharing a really adorable one that sweet Miss Lorie provided for us this month. I wasn't able to incorporate all of the fab elements she sent us, but they will definitely be used because each was a treasure. (Thanks, Lorie!!!)
If you haven't already, please be sure to visit all of the kittens to see their cuddly creations: Kelly, Lorie, Susan, Michelle, and Jeanette.

Hugs & Blessings,

December Kit Cats

"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but snowmen are still delightful..." At least that's how I'm singing it today. Jeanette was our hostess with the mostest this month, and supplied us with a very cute image and lovely papers....and luxurious ribbon, fun snow-fetti and chipboard snowflakes that I'm realizing just now I totally forgot to use. Eesh! Time to go burying my head in the snow! As luck would have it, this also fits the Stamping Around challenge fellow KitCatter Lorie is hosting! Woohoo!

I colored up this snowy sweetie with my trusty Copics and taking a cue from the embossed & glitzed pattern paper, Stickled his brains out! :D I used a Snowflake set from Spellbinders to cut snowflakes from the text paper J supplied.

Be sure to visit all the Kit Cats to see their sure-to-be adorable creations.

November KitCats (just a wee bit late)

If you're doing the FRESH BREWED DESIGNS Blog Hop, scroll down to the next post!Thanks!!!! And if you aren't following the hop, why not??? The images are awesome, the possibilities are endless, the inspiration is divine! Go ahead, take a peek! :D

Hey friends! Normally we post on the first Sunday of the following month, but November was my turn to play hostess and I was a little distracted my a professional exam. My fellow Kittens were awesomely supportive & understanding, and didn't even blink when I asked if we could delay a few days. Love you girls!

So for the kit, I sent everyone this super adorable image from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. If you haven't shopped with Susana before, you really need to put that on your list because she is super sweet, ships quick and always throws in a little something extra. Another fabulous thing is that she carries exclusive lines from Victoria Case, Elisabeth Bell and Anki Bärgman. This image is from Victoria's Winter Wonderland release, and she's called Cocoa Puff. I knew the girls would love coloring her and that she'd look totally cute with some papers from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kiss collection. I honestly forgot which ribbons & fibers I gave the rest of the KitCats, and just grabbed some sheer pink polka dot ribbon and white pearly dew drops. I used Stickles on the snow and Diamond Glaze on the poinsettias, to hopefully make them pop. I also used Stickles on her hat for a little added interest.


Please be sure to stop by and leave some love for the rest of the KitCats:
Kelly, Susan, Lorie, Michelle and Jeanette.

TFL & Hugs,

October Kit Cats

Ugh! So close, and yet officially (even with the assist from turning the clocks back), still a day late.

This little cutie is one of the Manga girls from Sugar Nellie - all dolled up for Christmas. Michelle was our hostess this month, and we all got to pick a holiday. But as you'll see, most of us opted from Christmas. I decided that in combination with the snowflake die cuts, Cuttlebug embossed snowflake cardstock, and yummy pattern paper Miche provided, my Manga girl was feeling elfish. So I colored her up with my trusty Copics and laid her out using SC211 from SCS. At the last I remembered that I might have a few mini jingle bells (that actually jingle) left in my stash. As luck would have it, there were exactly two left, one for each boot. The ribbon is attached so that the recipient will untie the ribbon to open the card, just like you would unwrap a present on Christmas morning. :D

If you haven't already, I hope you'll join me in hopping over to visit all of the Kit Cat blogs (Kelly, Michelle, Susan, Lorie and Jeanette) to enjoy their creations. Next month it's my turn to play hostess...

TFL,

Kit Cats and Coffee

My fabulous friend and fellow Starbucks addict, Kelly, has organized a small band of gals together into the "Kit Cats". Every month a different Kit Cat girl picks an image and some DP, sends it out to the rest of the group, and we each make a card. The fun of this is seeing how similarly or differently we all interpret it. There are 6 of us all together, and we'll post on the 6th of the following month. Love it!
For August, Kelly chose this cute and funky image from Stampavie. I made one of the gals blonde and one brunette - my vision of Kelly and myself sittin', sippin', smilin' and sharin' for hours on end. One day, Miss Kelly! {{{{HUGS}}}} I'm not sure which collection the rich and yummy DP is from, but they were included in this month's kit, along with some flowers and blingy brads. I actually made new flowers (thanks to a long term loan of punches from my sister), and am saving the ones from Miss Kelly for another project ;)
Hope you have fun visiting each of the Kit Cat gals' creation! I know that's where I'm headed next! :)
