The theme over at Inspired By Challenge is "Heart Your Cat-titude". I love these cat-themed images from Waffle Flower's Flora Cat Play stamp set. When I saw this challenge, I pulled out the stamp set and my Zigs and voila! Is that little mouse the cutest?

When I saw the Inspired By Challenge this week, I HAD to play. I am late to the party with my acquisition of the Essentials By Ellen Bear Ware Collection, but now I will be using them like crazy as I finally have them all. Thanks to my enabler - she knows who she is! I hand drew the collar and cuffs of Bear's sweater. and gave them a little sparkle with WOS. If you look closely at his sweater, you can see a herringbone pattern that I added with some masking and a stamp from PTI's Background Basics Herringbone. The stripes he is standing on are from PTI's Background Basics Super Stripes. I have had both these sets for years. I am using my NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff! This is a Valentine for my coffee-loving son. He will love it.

Festive Happy Birthday

 

It's time for a new challenge at Festive Friday where every challenge is an inspiration list based on a selected holiday/festivity from the traditional to the unusual. Challenge projects must include at least three items from the festivity inspiration list.

Since the Inspiration List is a mix of elements related to the festivity, the creator has the choice to make something for that festivity, or to ignore the festivity all together and create something using just the three (or more) elements selected.

For my Cat-themed project, I used: a cat, sparkle (the cat, banner and balloons are all coated with Wink Of Stella but I could not capture it with my camera), and clean and simple design. I used a variety of Copic markers for coloring, and die cut the small square with Spellbinders Hemstitch Squares. All stamps are from Simon Says Stamp Baby Party Animals.

For more inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the  Festive Friday Challenge Design team.
