Mimi, on the other hand, is the dog that did this to my kitchen floor - and to herself:
It really shouldn't come as any surprise that she likes to interfere with crafting.
Her contribution this time around was the pawprint border, to cover up the fact that I dropped the stamp when she barked.
Supplies: Kitty, shadow, yarn, pawprint, 'hee' stamps all from Paper Smooches; haha! stamp from CTMH; 'you are old' stamp from Unity; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Distress inks in Evergreen Bough, Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters; classic small circle Nesties; Bic markers
Let's be honest, though. If any animal is going to mock you in your old age, it's gonna be a cat. That said, Mimi the Mastodon has given me a whole new appreciation for how ridiculously low-maintenance the three cats are.
This is perfect for the current Naughty or Nice Furry Friends challenge, and the Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes challenge.
I've been catching up with my Christmas card challenges today, probably inspired by the fact that snow was in the forecast for this morning. We escaped it, but sheesh.

ReplyDeleteAbby always put a smile on my face whenever you post her! She is just so lovely. Cute card!
ReplyDeletehahaha, so adorable!! Thanks for playing along with the Naughty or Nice Challenge!!
ReplyDeleteI think that's why I'm more a cat person than a dog person... I'm all about the maintenance levels. But again, Mimi created a fine design opportunity, so how bad can it be? I really like the circular senitment stamping and the background to mockingcat, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Love your doggies too! Thanks so much for playing at Paper Smooches Sparks this week!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love how you covered this little mistake with the paw prints! I'm sure that Mimi didn't mean to scare you:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your background design and your stamping with the sentiments round the circle! FAB card all around:) THANKS for joining in the fun and playing along with us over at the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge <3 Hope you join in the fun with our Picture Perfect challenge this week <3
Wait! I want to know how much you laughed at Mimi for getting caught in a chair and trashing the kitchen?!!! C'mon, I know you laughed!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso you are spot on that cats will mock you for being old, for being not old enough, for walking on two legs, for crawling around on four, and for about everything else... ...except having thumbs.
Fun card!
