Kitten Portraits (Scrap lift part II)

In September our three year old cat Mercedes had four healthy, lovely kittens: Kalle, Figaro, Septima and Preben Mohammed. Here they are at six weeks old.

Black word stickers: Authentic.  All papers & other stickers: bella Blvd Color Chaos. Black word "smitten: Amy Tangerine/American Crafts. Fishbone rubber charm: Aroundtheblock

I got the idea for the  layout whan I spotted the mid March scraplift challenge at Paper Issues. The overall design and somewhat busy background paper inspired me to make my layout:

Which kitten we kept (we could not keep them all, even if we wanted to)?
The ginger, fluffy one (Preben Mohammed)...

The empty cage

Ouch - I have obviously been slacking on blogging my creations again - It's so easy to just put them up on FB, and forget about the blog. But I promise, the baby cards I promised you in my previous post, will be up on Tuesday!

Last monday we put our old cocker spaniel Scoobie down, and her crate is now empty:

Papers: Doodlebug Designs. Black stickers: Authentic. Other stickers: Doodlebug Designs. Alpha: American Crafts.
Cocker Chipboard: Memory Maze

The house is empty - you know the small details like her begging for food or cuddling, barking when the door bell rings etc etc. But I admit I don't miss all the fur around!


Close ups

My English Cocker Spaniel didn't have a cut tail, but I still find this chipboard so adorable (Memory Maze)

I still can't let be drawing on my pages - iit seems to have become my signature :-)

The design for the layout is taken from the March sketch at Scrapping Clearly:

I flipped it to fit my photo, but bisides from that stuck pretty close to the sketch.

Thank you for popping by, and please come back as I have more pages to show you!

Crazy Cat Lady Starter Set

On September 24th, our cat Mercedes had four beautiful little kittens: to black/grey girls and two ginger boys:

Papers & word sticker: Authentic. Alpha: American Crafts. Ribbon: unknown

In the photo the kittens are 4 days old. The might look big, but their weights are 55-60 grams only.

Mid December they were ready to leave us, and I was happy to see them go to good homes where they will get the care and attention they deserve. Oh wait! We kept the most fluffy ginger: how could we not <3

Purrfect papers.

This layout was made back in November for one of the Paper Issues' November Challenges: a scraplift challenge.

Rock Lobster lunch

When DS12 and I was in Crete this summer, we had a great lunch at a sea food restaurant in Rethymnon. They had rock lobster on the menu, and as none uf us had eaten it before, we decided to dig in. Oh my, so yummie!

DS12 studying his plate before we start eating:

Background paper: Authentic. Other papers: Bo Bunny. Cut outs: & alpha: AC. Brads: MME. Epoxy stickers/words: Heidi Swapp.

The design is taken from this great sketch at Scrap Africa (sketch challenge 38):

I wanted to recreate that summer feeling from our holidays and spent the rest of my scraps from Bo Bunny's Lemonade Stand collection. I just love the bright happy colors!

The restoration project

A month ago huby finally found his dream boat: a classic  - a 13 foot Selco Select - 1970 model.
The body is in quite good shape, but the seats: oh boy!

I know where to find my hubby this winter: in the garage (no room for his car for a while), making this baby pretty before the summer season.

Background paper & buttons: unknown. Journaling cards: Becky Higgins PL. Stickers & alpha: Authentic. Anchor & wheel dies: LaLaLand

I found the design in Sketch-N-Scrap's Sketch #66:

Do you - our your better half - have any restoration projects going on?
