pink, girlie and lethal...

Good morning everyone, I hope your all well and happy...a quick update on the cute little cat who was visiting, its still about but I cant bring it indoors anymore it makes me mad itchy...I was scratching away for two days before it dawned on me what it was, I never knew I was allergic to cats, or maybe its just that little cutie, I rang the cat protection place here but they wont come and collect it unless its injured, so what am I to do with it, well I have taken some photos and I will take them around to the neighbours see if anyone has moved lately or maybe know who it belongs to...my Daughter would love to take it but she is the owner of a sumo cat who would just need to sit on the poor thing lol...it has taken root on my garden chairs, the one in the shade during the day and the others at night...the poor little thing is breaking my heart crying every time I go out...but the itch wont go away I'm afraid...right now onto my card for today which is pink, girlie and was lethal my craft room was a sizzling 34degrees yesterday and I could only manage this one before I had to get out...Phil did suggest a fan but a fan and loose bits of paper, ribbon and loads of layers is not a good combination with a fan is it lol...anyway its using this cute little Sugar Nellie stamp called Mackenzie, would you believe I found this cutie hiding never even been inked...I coloured her with distress inks and paper pieced her dress in the same pink gingham from Craft Creations that I used for the background, I finished with some lush green seam binding from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, gorgeous colour isn't it... I finished with a mixture of pink and white roses and some tiny leaves...the fab sketch is from the Simply Stampin' challenge but as I didn't use a Stampin up image Im not entering it...I am entering it for the Oh La La Creations challenge and the Squiggles Stamp challenge...I'm off out to Town with my Dad today as he needs new sunglasses and shorts for Sicily, I hope its a bit cooler today as I don't want to drag him round shops in that heat...whatever your up to have a fabulously sunny day

Good morning everyone I hope your all well...we had a very quiet day yesterday it was nice just to have a day chillin and doing nothing at all, on the days my poor Phil is off work we usually are running around trying to cram things in before he has to go back to work, its so fab having him off for two weeks...he made me laugh today, he was scouring the TV mag and I asked him what he was looking for, wheres all the great programmes that are on in the morning at Christmas, like Laurel and Hardy and the old Flash Gordon's series...I had to tell the poor fella they haven't showed them for years and years, shows how often he is off at Christmas doesn't it...he will have to do with the rubbish that's on now I'm afraid...my card for today is using one of the amazing Adorables from Sugar Nellie, this is the stunning Sybil, I cropped her and just used her head this time...isn't she just beautiful, I coloured her with distress inks and added a little bit of sparkle to her bows...the lush papers are a freebie with a magazine would you believe, I hardly ever buy magazine but cant resist a freebie can you...I used some gold card to frame the fab sketch that's too late for the Simply Stampin challenge sketch challenge but fits their new challenge I hope, and I used some of the papers to cut out loads of the gorgeous baubles, now how could I resist cutting some of them out, when I had used them I didn't think it needed anything else...Im also entering this for the Stampin Royalty challenge too...I still don't have Phil's presents would you believe, he is the hardest person to buy for so I'm off out today to get something and I'm not coming back empty handed...if you don't hear from me send help lol...have a wonderful day everyone
