31 Days of Halloween: Day 13- Magical Cat

Hello everyone, welcome back! I am a little under the weather so my project for today is digital and pretty simple. But first, I have sponsor info! Today our very own Black Dragon is sponsoring again with her fabulous handmade jewelry, and we have the Rick St Dennis digi set up for grabs! To enter, find the hidden images and email us to let us know where they are.



So now on to my project. This was a collaboration of sorts between me and my kindergartener. I used our Hallo Kitty digi single stamp, and I'll give you a little bit of the back story behind the image. There is a cat that has been hanging around outside of our house, and she seems to love us very much. I believe she is an indoor cat that just got out one day or someone jus let loose because thwey didn't want her. She is a long hair and I believe she is part Persian because she has that flat nose. She is orange and black with a little white on her belly. Well, lately it's been getting really cold here and I am thinking about letting her into the house and "adopting" her. She doesn't belong to anyone in the surrounding neighborhoods, and doesn't seem to want to go anywhere else. So, I made a vet appt for her today to go get her checked out and possibly get her groomed as she has alot of matting on her. Oh yeah, she is also declawed which is why I think she was a pet.

Anyways, she was the inspiration behind the Hallo Kitty image cause she's so scruffy looking right now. So my daughter wanted to make a card that we can print out and give to her class this year, and she helped me pick the colors and design it. Here it is:

and here is a very bad pic of Ruyke the cat:


Isn't she gorgeous? I can't wait to get her all brushed and cleaned up so we can add her to our family.

So, I am off to go rest and hopefully get rid of this funk before it gets worse, but have fun hopping today! Will see you tomorrow with a better project.

    Well I dont know how much more better of a card you can make this one is beautiful, and it was made with your daughter, that's priceless!
    You will never have that moment back. They grow up so fast! I really do like how your card turned out!
    Poor abandoned kitty. I am happy to hear that you are going to take him in since he is declawed, he will not last long being an outside cat that way.
    Hope you get to feeling better fast!!
    Peace,
    KristyLee

    Terra... let me start by saying I hope you feel better!!! You have a huge heart and I am the same way when to animals... I think it is horrible when people just dump animals off!!! I am so glad that you and your family are going to adopt her!!! She looks like she would make a wonderful addition to your family!!! (Sorry a few tears on this end.) Okay, now to the family Halloween card... I think it is awesome and a wonderful thing you are doing to share this wonderful talent with you daughter!!! I think it is an awesome project and both of you should be very proud!!!

    That is how, we've acquired most of our cats over the years. because we live in the boonies. people (tourists) dump animals out here all the time.

    She is beautiful, how do you pronounce her name? How did you pick that name?

    The card is terrific, and great for your daughter to hand out to her classmates :)
