Feline Fun!

Hi there, guess who has managed to find some time to do a little crafting!

My very good blogging buddy and fellow Snarky Sistah, Toni, is Hostess over at Addicted to CAS for Challenge #215 and I have to say I think she's chosen a great theme.


This is what I made.
 

I just love this kitty from All Night Media - Cats; unfortunately, I could only find a link to an eBay sale as this is such an old set. I especially like this stamp as this kitty cat looks so much like my cat Cleo who crossed the Rainbow Bridge several years ago. The sweet, fun sentiment is from MFT Cat-itude. There are some super cards in the gallery at Addicted to CAS, and I love what Toni and the DT have made for this challenge.

I knew that I very much wanted to play in the Snippets Playground Ruby's Memory Challenge #423. This is the final challenge in memory of a very special little dog called Ruby, who was the companion of my cardmaking buddy Lynne and her partner Greg. 


When she heard that Lynne and Greg had lost their much loved fur baby, Di from Snippets decided to do something rather wonderful. She started a monthly challenge in memory of Ruby and asked for prizes to be donated. In turn Di donated the value of each prize to the USPCA (The Ulster Society for the Prevention Cruelty to Animals), the organisation that rescued Ruby before she found her forever home with Lynne and Greg. Di has raised an amazing £300 and I'm sure you'll agree that she's done a brilliant job. Well done to everyone who donated prizes too, and thank you to Di for having such a kind heart.

My card uses snippets that I had on my table from making this card. This is such a pretty pad and I enjoyed using it again.

My hubby has just put a coffee in my hand, so I think I'll settle back and go visiting around my blogland buddies. Happy crafting, everyone!

This is such a wistful card, Jo! The kitty is just gorgeous and I love the mix of papers you chose for the background. I'm always a sucker for a punny sentiment too and this is a lovely tribute to Cleo!
Take care,
Hugs

What a lovely card Jo and so nice to read about Chloe. Your beautiful words about Ruby's Challenge really choked me up. I would have loved for it to go on for longer but people had been so kind with their donations of prizes I couldn't ask them once again. Every little helps as they say and each donation I've made has been sent with the message that it's in memory of Ruby, rescued by USPCA. She was one of the reasons we got Dudley - Len would see me sighing over her photos on Lynne's blog and knew that the time was right.

Hugs

What a cute little cat stamp Jo and how lovely that you are reminded of Cleo when you use it! I love the papers you teamed it with and that punning sentiment is perfect! Thank you for coming to play at Addicted to CAS! Vicky x
