Sketch Day!!

It's Saturday which means a new Sweet Stop sketch....you may not be aware of this but I stepped down from the Sugar Baby team a while back to ease up on some of my responsibilities....I can say, I sure do miss playing along with the sketches.

These past few weeks have been insanely busy with home stuff, business stuff and everything in between so my *stamping for fun time* as been majorly limited. Last night I had some free time so I decided to use it to make a card for today's sketch. It felt great to stamp just because :).


This week is the Sketch with a Spin and you know what that means.....there is a sweet prize up for grabs!! Head over to The Sweet Stop to check it out.

This week's spin is "Starstruck". You can interpret that any way you wish, but the most obvious way is to use stars somewhere on your card. I found these awesome metal stars at Michaels a year or two ago and have kept them in my "Christmas embellies" stash for such times as this.

My wonderful man in brown dropped off a box full of yummy new Echo Park Christmas papers yesterday, so you KNOW I just had to break some out for my card :). The paper I used is from their new Season's Greetings 6x6 pad. I think it's my favorite line of the 3 holiday lines they released this year.

I also used Dina Kowal's gorgeous new Christmas Light stamp set and die. I am telling you, dies for stamped images are the best thing since sliced bread :)!

Today I leave you with another funny kitteh pic....

Meet Tank....a basement cat in the making....hehe....


In case you are "unawarez"....basement cat (typically a black cat) is the arch nemesis of ceiling cat (often a white or light colored cat) in a fun online battle of the kittehs known as lolcat. Lydia knows exactly what I am referring to....and I have to say it's a pretty funny thing....you can find more amusing basement cat pics HERE.

Until next next time....

Back in Business! Christmas Sweet Peek #2

Sorry for the late post....my internet has been down since 11am. Thankfully my awesome hubby came home and fixed it. He rocks!!! Seriously....totally rocks :)!!

So without further ado, here is my card for today's adorable Sweet Peek, Christmas Puppy illustrated by Rachel Zimmerman.

I used up various scraps I had on my table from other recent card projects. I added some yummy twine and these fabulous glittery metal stars I got at Michaels last year.

Thanks for taking a peek today!

I leave you with a video I made last night of our adorable kittens....

Aren't they so sweeeeeeeet :)?

For the love of kitties!

So my friend Lydia (aka understandblue) and I are having a grand ole time sharing our love of kitties lately, especially on FB. I think most of our friends think we are insane because some days we really do get quite carried away, but it's great fun....and we really ARE crazy, so there ;).

We've been chatting it up about my cat's kittens quite a bit and mostly picking on, if you will, the largest of the four kittens, "Tank". He is a whopper, let me tell you. So, just for giggles, here's one of the more recent pics I posted on her wall...


See??? Great fun :). Who wouldn't love to get a funny kitty pic on their FB wall? Right?

Wanna see how big the kittens are getting? Of course you do! They will be 3 weeks old on Friday. Oh, they grow up so fast! Before you know it, they'll be off to kitty college....*tear*.... ;)

As Lydia would say....Tank's got back!

They are very wobbly but they are trying to walk some now....I am sure I will have LOTS more fun pics to share with you soon ;).

There really isn't much cuter than a kitten....come on, really....admit it :).

Ok, back to business.....as I mentioned in my last post, SCS Virtual Stamp Night was this weekend. Lydia and I participated and got all 17 challenges done! can you believe it!?
