I saw THIS card by Julia Aston and immediately knew I had to CASE it and send to my 2 nieces who are huge cat lovers. They foster and always end up with one more cat than they intended. Both nieces have a cat that looks a lot like these. I colored them with Copics and fussy cut them. I gave them a patterned paper background then popped them up on a die cut panel and then the card base. After I took the photo, put the cards in the mail and upon looking at them in my post, I realized that I glued the XOXO on the first one upside down. This makes me twitch a little because I am such an XO person, not an OX person. I wonder if my niece who got this one noticed? In any case, I LOVE these and thank Julia for the inspiration.

These are just too CUTE and your nieces will love them no matter what direction the XO's and OX's go!! ADORABLE cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I think I had a card once where I did the OXOX because I read that it was hugs and kisses and the Os were the hugs! Then someone told me they thought the Xs were hugs, sort of like crossed arms LOL... who knows! Either way they are going to love their cards, they're fun!
I'm sorry your upside-down hugs and kisses made you twitch, Stephanie; it made me smile because it is SO something I would do! I am dying to know if she noticed she got her hugs before the kisses, but I'll bet she won't mind at all! Great CASE of Julia's fun snarky cat design! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
The cats images are cute! It's a nice fun card.

Don't you just love these cats Stephanie! Thank you for the shout out for your inspiration - I too saw a similar card on the Tim Holtz Addicts FB for my inspiration - love that xoxo sentiment (forward OR backward! ) and your pretty white die cut framing around the hearts dp! Julia xx

Here I was thinking it was very cool that you did one card xoxo and one card oxox - never would have guessed it was a happy accident. Both are fantastic! Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
