Celebrating Cat

 

I love these quirky cats, they are such fun to use.  The background is made from mopping up excess ink on the glass mat from other projects, adding more ink and sploshes and splatters.  Fun to make too.

Stamp, embossed: TimHoltz

Sentiment: made on computer

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). Get inspired!

This week's prompts were:  workspace, enclosed, clever, shady, your choice.

Workspace (quarterly) , yes it looks a mess, but it's an organised mess.

Enclosed:  This birds nest is perfect, blown down in the wind.  The inside is so smooth and polished and the outside is so beautifully textured... and no, it wasn't in use at the time!  Ps. the eggs are fake.

Clever:  My husband is so clever.  His hobby is wood turning.  He made these tiny birdhouses and birds. The birds are about 1/2" long!

Shady:  This is our granddaughter Grace having some quiet time in the hammock.  We have been sweltering in the heat with days of plus 30 deg C in the shade.

 

Your choice:  I chose this fabulous dramatic dawn moment.

Have a peep at what other folks did with the prompts.  Shared here:  ispy-55

House Mouse Rainy Day

 

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.

HM Seriously Cute

 House Mouse & Friends #356, anything goes option of Something New

For this card, I used new stamps, both mousie and the background leaf stamp. For the background,  I spritzed the paper and the inked stamp (several shades of green) before stamping, so it has a watercoloury effect.
