Freshly Made Sketches #619

Judy, I sure do appreciate that you were so brave to choose my crazy take on last week's Sketch - hope you still have your magical glasses on!  lol Here's my take on your fun and fabulous Freshly Made Sketch #619!


An old Cuttlebug EF, a bloom from The Stamp Market, and a sweet Betterpress-ed sentiment came together so well... IMHO anyway! 

Here is how I added the dimension to that darling Paws Up from Waffle Flower:
with one of their detail brushes, of course!  This time Shader #3+ to be exact.


I went right to work using this darling Cat Paw to bring a little of our darling Calvin & Hobbes back into our lives again.  Waffle Flower has THE BEST set of sentiments with 'cat-itude!'  It's called Pet Thoughts and some of them are just exactly what we think our boys would have to say about things!  This one is going to my brother-in-law - he will SO get it!



The bangles and hanging beads in this embossed panel [thanks Lisa!] would
be absolutely irresistible to any cat!

I can't paws another minute for more playtime - after a fun chat with my friend Stephanie this morning, I'm raring to go!  OH! before I go - check out what I saw this morning....


Hope you're having a sun-shine-y day today!

Hi Michele - I love your card the paws are adorable, love the white pad!! And the snow in Michigan - wow! I sort of miss the 'proper' winters we had when we lived in Michigan. Mind we had blue skies today and very cold. Take care, Hugs, Deborah x

These are just the cat's meow, my friend! I love how they're holding this fantastic sentiment and the second card with the cat-itude! Congratulations on your well deserved kudos at FMS!

Lisa Elton said...

I can only imagine the cat-itude behind all those paws! Super creative, super cute and fun to see the bangles put to good use! I see no tire tracks, did Tom make it to work?!?

TK said...

Two amazing and fun cards, Michele, so perfect for the cat-lover in all of us! Oh, and I LOVE the white stuff! Our day started with a bit of snow but by afternoon had changed to freezing rain - ugh! On the positive side, they shut everything down in the courthouse to send people home -- well everyone except my division...

Jeanne said...

Super cute, Michele! Always admire your creativity. And YAY to see some blue sky! Hope the sun melts some of that white stuff for ya!

Kim S said...

What a fun and amazingly creative use of the sketch!!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

I just love those paws and your brilliant way of using them for this sketch!!!! It was paws-itively wonderful to catch up! xxx

Leslie Miller said...

Lovelovelove these cards so much! You have the cutest, most fun stamps and dies! The paws speak volumes, and the sentiments say the rest. The first is just the sweetest with love all over it. The one white toe is adorable. Yes, those little pink paws would be all over the dangly stuff. It must be nice to see that beautiful blue sky. It's still gray here but at least it's not raining at the moment.

Bobby said...

This is the first I've seen those paws and what darling cards they make, Michele.

Darlene said...

OMG how cute is this!!! You are so clever my friend and I have NO doubt this card will bring a huge smile!! Bring on the sunshine! I'm already tired of the 'white stuff' lol.

Linda Callahan said...

OMG the paws make such cute cards - but I will confess before I read your post I thought they were my friend the bear's paws!

Kristin Sluhan said...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Calvin and Hobbes! This is so adorable, so is the second one. We just lost our beloved kitty and now I need to get this die set so I can use it for cards for my girls. Hugs!

Judy Rozema said...

I LOVED your fishing cards last week!! And this week is amazing too! I need those dies for my daughter's cat! Stop enabling me! Super cute!!
