Day of the Month Card Club - Hug your Cat Day

Hi Everyone,



This month we are celebration "Hug your Cat Day".
Now I am sure a lot of people can relate to that.

We also have a Guest Designer with us - it's the fabulous, creative and oh so funny Darnell from djcardkreations! You can't miss her cute card - so don't forget to check out the blog post!


On my last visit to Germany I could not resist to pick up this grumpy looking cat from Hein Design - a German company. I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. The background is made with a Tim Holtz stencil, the sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.


Now I hope you will have time to 

I am counting on you! You have until the end of the month (6/30) to do so.

This is a voting challenge - the winner will be determined by vote. Everybody can vote, even if you didn't play along. Voting starts on the first of the following month - June first. 
The 3 participants with the most votes will win. 
The winners will be showcased on the 5th of each month and the new challenge will start each month on the seventh.
And to make it more fun and appealing it would be great if you could comment on at least 3 other participants - perhaps you'll find some new friends that way. 


There is always a reason to celebrate!

I can certainly see why you couldn't resist this grumpy puss. What a cutie.
Hahaa! That is so funny. What an expression on that cat. And, the sentiment gets right to the point too. I love it.

Fabulous and fun card, Cornelia ! I LOVE cats, so yes I'd love to play with you this month. On the contrary I'm not sure I would try to hug this cat when he has this grumpy face ! So funny. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at ATSM.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
