When I saw the theme at the CD Sunday Challenge was Here Kitty Kitty, I was initially stumped. Then I remembered that lovable Barkley has a kitty friend named Purr-dey. This image and designer paper are both from the Crafter's Companion Papercrafting CD-ROM that was included with their Issue 3 Winter Edition (Christmas Edition) ... which just happens to be on sale.
The inspiration for the falling snow & the bright red door came from this beautiful Festive Friday Challenge Photo. I stamped the Happy Holidays sentiment from Christmas Magic using India Ink and embossed the card base using Let It Snow.
The layout is this week's CAS(E) this Sketch. I'm also joining the Simon Says Emboss It Challenge.
And here are a few *vintage* pictures of me with my own Purr-dey and Barkley ...although my pets were named Charmin (see how I squeezed that poor cat) ...
and Snoopy.
Adorable! Thank you so much for sharing your cute card with us at Festive Friday!
