Hello everyone! Thanks for being here today. You may, or may not have, noticed that I have not been around the blogosphere so much lately. I haven’t been at my craft desk much either. My family adopted two baby kittens and while they are completely adorable and loving, it definitely takes time to raise them.
We lost our sweet 17 year old cat last summer, who we had raised by hand after he and his brother were abandoned by his overwhelmed feral mom outside our workplace. Now, that was more work than the ones we have now, as we had to wake in the night and come home at lunch to feed them with bottles. I have had cats and kittens my whole life, so after a year of mourning, it was time to get some new babies. I always like to have two cats, since they are quite social, and many are happier as a bonded pair. And, at the kitten stage, it is more appropriate for them to tackle each other rather than tackling people!
So, I made this kitten card to celebrate the occasion, plus it will work great for any female cat lover, of any age! I got to use up some patterned paper scraps too.
Supplies: I Brake for Stamps Kitty in a Can, Florals Sheet, Memento and Versafine Black ink, Gina K Double Stitched Rectangle dies, all other items are scraps from my stash. Save 10% on these stamp at I Brake for Stamps with my code SAVE10HEIDI.
I would love to enter Tuesday Throwdown’s Furry Friends challenge, Pixie’s Crafty Workshop’s Snippets Challenge, Word Art Wedneday’s Anything Goes challenge.
Also, in case you were curious, here are our babies.

So adorable, I love how you colored that cat in the card! Love the font on the sentiment too!
