The KitCats Are Back!

The KitCats are back for another season! Yippee!




Jeanette was our hostess for September, and she must have felt that we kittens needed to brush up on our ABCs after our summer break, because sent all of us back to school with a super-cute school-themed kit!

She included great Bo Bunny papers, Martha Stewart ribbon, some cute embellies, and Betty and Spencer Bookworms from Stamping Bella. I decided to feature Betty because, well, she could be me in fourth grade with those ponytails and those glasses... only I was chubbier. And *gulp* ... I used a whopping 24 Copic colors on her! Someone stop me, please.

Jeanette also included pages torn from old dictionaries. They give such a nostalgic, old-school (pun intended!) feel to the card. And I love how the three colors on the MS ombre ribbon fade into each other. So pretty!

I had great fun creating this card, and I'll definitely be showcasing Spencer soon. Very soon. ;-)

Be sure to visit the other KitCats to see what they did with Jeanette's kit:

It's my turn to hostess for October. Hmm, wonder what I have up my sleeve?

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Cheers To You, Laura!

A couple weeks ago, The Girl asked me to make a quick card for a friend's little sister, whom they were taking out to celebrate her 21st birthday.

Oh, I'll use Cosmobella! I said.

Whatever, she said. Don't make it over the top, and be sure to make her a redhead, because it's for Laura.

WHAT??? No! Laura can't possibly be 21! Isn't she still the red-haired little pixie who was so petite that she could share the back center seatbelt with Kelsey, the equally petite brown-haired little pixie? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was picking up the girls at the rink and enjoying their chatter and giggles the whole way home? When did they all grow up?

Suddenly I'm feeling a little old. ***sigh***

But that's okay, because any moment, the menopause will cause a synapse to misfire, sending my thoughts off on another tangent, like Where did I put my glasses?

Hmm, where did I put my glasses . . .

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Have a wonderful day!
