Cat Kindness card


You can never go wrong thanking someone or letting them know you appreciate them.  This kitten and mouse demonstrate the ultimate kindness.  This cat stamp did not come with a saying so luckily My Favorite Things just came out with a new set of kindness stamps.  Originally I was going to make a shaker card and then thought it would take away from the saying so I opted just to use a window.

Cat & Ornament Card


Here it is already December.  Decorating Christmas trees is happening in homes all over the world.  Quite a few of those homes have cats.  Cats love Christmas.  New toys hanging on every tree.  I've had cats climb artificial trees and lay in the branches.  You wouldn't think it was comfortable but they didn't seem to want to admit that as I was plucking them out of the tree.  This stamp from Newton's Nook shows how much fun cats have during this season...hopefully we all feel the same joy.
