** Please scroll down for the Whimsy blog hop **

Good morning! My house has been super quiet this week without the kids. I can't believe summer vacation is over! Well, I should get alot of stamping done now that I have no one to entertain and I'm back to a routine. Sure do miss them though....

But I'm looking forward to the fun fall and winter cards that I can make now. Which is the inspiration behind today's project. I made a little purse that I thought could be used as little Halloween favors for the kids at school.



I used one of my favorite stamps from Paper Romance. This is Andrea's Kittens. I colored her in Halloween colors and gave her 3 black kittens. I also added a cute scaredy cat button. What do you think?



I used the following copic colors to color my image: C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, YR18, YR16, YR12, YR02, V17, V15, V12, V000.

Good morning! Today we have a color challenge for you over at Paper Romance Challenges. The colors to use this week are chocolate, teal, and white. Here is the project that I prepared for today:



I must admit teal was a hard color for me to find in my paper stash so I used various blues hoping that one of them qualify as teal.. ;) So, today I made a gift set that I thought my youngest daughter could give as a gift to her little friend (who happens to love kitties). I used 2 Meljen images for this project that I picked up here. This cutie is called A Girl and Her Kitty and the image I used on my gift bag is called Free Kittens. So cute, aren't they?
