Meow

Last night I played with the (checking real quick ...) current Card Patterns Sketch Challenge:

 I took a scrap of Basic Grey Max & Whiskers paper to use for the grey part in the sketch. Then I took another piece from the pack for the white part of the sketch. I did the scallop and the ... WASHI TAPE, then got stuck.

Then tonight I flipped the sketch like this:

and my card was born:

In a rare moment this past weekend, I cleaned widened the paths in my craft room, and along the way I found a pack of Basic Grey felties that went with the Max & Whiskers papers. So once I reoriented the card, I added the kitteh (here he is up close and personal):

 (squee -- so cute!) Love the whiskers! And maybe you didn't notice the mouse down below:

So cute. But it needed a sentiment and I was out of room, and out of ideas. I finally ended up with my trusty Dymo labeler and a scrap of the brown to anchor it. Yeah, it's not part of the sketch, but ...

In other news, if you haven't read "Let's Pretend This Never Happened" by Jenny Lawson (aka: The Bloggess), you must get it. It's so irreverent. I mention this now because tomorrow (Tuesday ) night is her first online book club session over at GoodReads, and I think it will be a hoot! Just think: a chapter-by-chapter discussion of an irreverent book with the author! If you want a peek into her book, she reads the introduction and first chapter on her blog post about the book club. Okay, I'm done now.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. The card is adorable, love the kitteh. I popped over to Jenny's blog and sent the first chapter (or so) to my Kindle app on my iPad, which I will read later. I also subscribed to her blog, and thank you for the link!

  7. oh my gosh, that feltie cat (& mouse!!!) are just toooooooooooo adorable for words!!! brilliant sentiment, as well, the dymo rescues one from SO MANY card-related predicaments, no??! ;)

    ps: totally laughing at the "...just checking... CURRENT sketch" scenario... can i tell you HOW MANY times that happens to me, only the answer is NEVER "oh yes it IS the current one" (ARGHH!)

    ps: you totally got me hooked on the blogess, she is HILARIOUS!!!
