What a friendly image and great to colour too. And a little bit of doodling from me.

The challenge is NOT A CARD. I repurposed a big matchbox and made cards to go inside. This is for grandchildren who are always saying "I haven't got anything to do". I got ideas for activities from the internet. Another matchbox shows what it looked like before.

I used glimmer mists and a stencil on thick shiny card to make the cogs and wheels. The texture paste is through some confetti waste. The stamp is embossed.

The collective name for cats is a clowder of cats. Who said that? Surely it should be a purr of cats? or even a purrrty of cats? I'm sure you can spot your cat in there somewhere.
I made the background behind the cats by masking the image, sponging with Distress Inks, splattering with black Decoart Media mist, and stamping the words randomly. This stamp is new to me.
Sentiment stamps: Little Birdie
Also: Copics, Distress Inks, gold washi tape, black Decoart Media mist, Kindyglitz on some eyes.

House Mouse & Friends #356 - Anything Goes with option of Something New.
A new-to-me technique of stamping and colouring on a coffee filter. It hardly shows in the photo but the flower has 3 layers and is quite ruffled. It is also the first time I have used this stamp although I have had it for a while. The image is stamped, the background is sponged locally, then misted with Perfect Pearls. The three coffee filters are watercoloured with D.Inks, dried, stamped, cut out, crumpled and applied in layers.
Sentiment:
Also: Distress inks, Copics, Perfect Pearls spray, coffee filters.

A dabble in watercolour stamping. And a sketch; I haven't done a sketch for ages. (Oops, after posting this, I had to change one of the pearls as I noticed it wasn't quite matching the others. I had made the card at night and hadn't noticed.)

iSpy #52 the last week of the year.
Every week, Lysha puts up a photographic challenge with prompts for us to look out for, then we share on Lysha's Saturday (my Sunday). It's always wonderful to see how people are inspired.
The prompts for this week were: Needles, colour Black, Great, Starts with R, your choice.
NEEDLES: in my case, knitting needles.
BLACK: I normally have the black candle holder and the black candlestick sitting in the window, but I decorated the candle stick with silver curly ribbon and black baubles and hung a glass beaded (with black) decoration to catch the light. My colour theme this year was black & silver.
GREAT: Known as the giants of the forest, in our backyard we have a young kauri tree that is so far only about 9m tall with a girth of 1m.
FYI: Kauri are among the world's mightiest trees, growing to over 50m tall, with trunk girths up to 16m, and living for over 2,000 years. Agathis australis, commonly known by its Māori name kauri (pronounced "Ko-ree"), is a coniferous tree found in the northern regions of New Zealand's North Island. The largest kauri trees did not attain as much height or girth at ground level but contain more timber in their cylindrical trunks than comparable Sequoias with their tapering stems.
