Here kitty, kitty

Couldn't get a decent pic of this card ... I took this earlier on when it was lashing with rain, though it's a beautiful evening just now, here's hoping it lasts!
Another card to use up some 'stash' - I've had this DP and also the pearls for a while, and I also recently rediscovered a tube of silver paint/pearls stuff that I tried to make a few swirls with.  I'm not so sure if I like it or not, maybe because I don't love the DP ... I think I might cut another butterfly out of white cardstock and stick it on top of the other one to see if that will brighten it a bit.
(ETA: I did add a white butterfly on top of the grey one, and it does look much better!)

Kitties from an Artemo stamp set; whimsy butterfly die; Paper Smooches sentiment.

Miaowy Birthday

Just a quickie post ... movie night tonight and it's ready to start - tonight's choice is Rum diary, looks like it might be a laugh.
ETA: the movie was just 'average' - I wouldn't bother if I was you!

Masked off my kitties so I could make a group of 3 from the same stamp.  Chalked my sky and paper pieced my wee kitty, and then popped image up on dimensionals.

Sick chicks?

Heee, I'm not too sure how healthy my chickens look - blue or spotty red?  I think a swift trip to the vet is called for!

Our heat seems to be breaking now and the clouds are brewing, thank goodness - my hair doesn't do this heat and is a total fuzzball!  And the hotter I get, the more my fringe seems to shrink!  What's that all about??!!!

I was surfing last night and came across this tutorial by Nancy on how to give your flowers texture, so thought I'd give it a go.  I've never been overly happy with my flowers, and I love how just nipping in the petals really changes the flower .. thanks Nancy!
