Christmas Came Early Challenge at Art Impressions

 Hello and Happy Sunday!

Today I'm sharing my card for the Christmas Came Early Challenge and the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge in honor of Janis Woolbright.

Art Impressions has sponsored all 9 of the Cat Lovers Hop Challenges and this will be the final one.  If you'd like to enter to win lots of great prizes just click the photo to be taken to the page where you can register.

I used: 5785 – Gnomes Set, 4929 – Winter Window MTF, 5712 – Christmas Journal Paper Pack, 5324 – MB Cat Accessories, 5489 – Front Porch Christmas Set

I apologize for the little hairs on my card.  (They're dog, not cat...lol) My card was sticky from gluing all those fine line pieces. I didn't notice until I saw the close ups of the photos. No time to reshoot and edit them all.  I've since pulled them off and dusted it so it's not sticky anymore.

Copics used: B02, YG03, YG17, YR04, YR24, Y04, W4, N1, R37, R85, E00, E23, E31

Oh...were you gonna eat this?

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop.
I combined several sets to create this humorous birthday card.
There are actually two men in the boat but I only wanted this guy on my card.  I tried to just ink up the one guy but didn't do a great job of it.  Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White to the rescue!

I used a bit to dab over the part of the other guy that was showing. I think it just looks like a cloud in the background now.

My main image and the fish are from 4900 – Reel Great Guys Set.

The fisherman is mounted on 5061 – Square Double Stitched Dies.
The sentiment on the banner is from 5369 – Feline Set and the naughty cat (lol!) is from 5110 – Housework Set. I cut the Roomba off from under him and used my x-acto knife to cut a slit for a mouth to put the fish in.  The banner die is from 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

This card would be so perfect for the fisherman in your life but it doesn't even have to be for someone who fishes.  Who doesn't love a funny card?  Maybe you know someone who has a pet that steals things.  When we first got our dog he used to steal bread, muffins, rolls etc. off our counter and hide them around the house.  Our bread basket has been on top of the fridge ever since we figured it out.

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a few cards with you.
My first cards were created for the current Feline Crazy challenge and the Cat Lovers Hop.
Art Impressions generously donated the Feline Set as a prize for the hop.

For my cards I used  M4877 – Be Joyful Window.  The Windows to the World series is one
of my all-time favorites at Ai.

Have you ever had one of "those" days?  Well, I sure did.  If you look carefully you'll see that on the white card the clouds are puffy.  That's because I got carried away and started to color them green like the foliage below them!  Oops!  I didn't want to scrap the entire picture and start over so I pulled out my Nuvo drops and viola!  Puffy clouds where there once were trees.

For my second projects I used the new 5462 – Web Dies Set and the 5072 – Block Letters Die Set.

The oval that the webs are on was made using the 5065 – Oval Double Stitched Dies.

The treat bag was a gift for my son.  His birthday is Oct. 2 and since he was little 

he's been obsessed with Halloween.  He even keeps Halloween decorations up in 

his bedroom all year round!

My window was cut using the 5061 – Square Double Stitched Dies.

I used the 5135 – Hexagon Double Stitched Dies to reinforce the ribbon handles and make

the bag more decorative.

I hope you all have a safe, fun and spooky Halloween!
