Friday Sketchers #70 & Cat's Corner #9!

Hi again! I hope you've all had a nice weekend! I've done absolutely nothing and loved it! Although I did make this card! It's for the Cat's Corner which is to make a card with an Autumn theme and of course feature a cat, I hope Halloween counts as autumn! It's also for this weeks Friday Sketchers sketch which I've flipped to fit this stamp on. I've used this cute Witches cat from Alota stamps and some of the funky Pink Petticoat Happy Haunting papers which I managed to nab last year before they disappeared! I've tried the technique where the image goes over the edge of the Nestie, except don't have the oval Nesties so I used my Fiskars template! Thanks for looking!
Supplies-
Stamp - 'Cat on Broom' by Alota Stamps
Colouring - Copics
Papers - Pink Petticoat 'Happy Haunting' & Bazill Bling 'Black Tie'
Sentiment - Scrap'n'Fonts
Stars - Dovecraft punch

Tilda & Friends: Time to Decorate!

It's all getting very festive this week on the Tilda & Friends ATC challenge, it's time for Christmas decorations! We're putting ours up on the 7th this year, but usually take them down on new years day as by then we are so fed up of Poppy climbing the tree and knocking off all the decorations! I decided to use the top half of this Alota stamp for my ATC, the glitter doesn't show up too well (when does it ever?), and the foil paper photographs rubbish too! Even so, I hope you like it!

Supplies-
Stamp - 'Bugs Decorating Tree' from Alota stamps coloured with Whispers, Sakura Stardust and Stickles
Papers - stash
Gems - Create & Craft
Snowflake punch
Also I thought I'd show you my new toy! I've wanted a sewing machine for ever but was put off paying over £100 for something I'll just use for fixing hems or making cards, and then I saw this red beauty in the John Lewis gift catalogue and it said 'Beth - buy me' so I did! It was only £49! It came today and I love it! Now I just have to learn how to use it!!

Cute Card Thursday #27 & Spoonfull of Sugar #16

This card originally started out as an Autumn card for the Papertake challenge but I didn't finish it on time. It turned into the card for Nikkis sketch on Spoonful of Sugar, then I thought, as it's a cat, I'd use it for this weeks Cute Card Thursday which is Cats and Dogs. I got in a real inky mess with this card, it was brilliant! Thanks for looking!
