The theme this week at creative knockouts is thankful with an image from pattiescreations the image I am using is martini girls
We recently adopted a cat well she adopted us first, she was a cat that had wandered and she made it next door Gucci is her name ??? the neighbor's decided they would keep her went to the vet to get her desexed and micro chipped she was already and she was 3 years old we thought she was just a kitten, the original owners said that they were happy to let Gucci stay with the neighbors then the neighbor's went away for 3 weeks and I was feeding the cats the Gucci would wait for me on my deck when it was feed time go next door for her feeds then come over to ours got to the stage that she was here all the time so after the neighbors got back she still stayed here so we had to adopt her she is now a cats weight and she is just gorgeous. She now has a cat door to come and go, has a choice of 4 beds to sleep on and we are waiting for a water fountain thing to her to drink from as at the moment she gets on the basin in the bathroom and we have to turn the tap on for her to have a drink she likes to follow the sun and when I was in my craft room she came in got onto my table promptly lay down I went to get a bit of paper that was near her and she put her paw on it as much to say don't disturb me so I didn't she completely run's our household and us but we don't mind 😻
My computer got sick so I have been out of action for a while and I have to say I was going into withdrawals But it is back now.
I missed this card being published
The image to be used was cheerful Santa from the paper shelter was meant to have a favorite embellishment but I forgot that

Our challenge this time at creative knockouts is Embossing, any type of embossing with a image from sheepski designs and I am using, augie a delightful looking bear
I printed him off large as I wanted him to be the main element of the card I coloured him with copics and pinched a couple eyes out of my husbands fishing fly tying box they looked much better than googly eyes.This challenge at creative knockouts this time is outside fun

This week at creative knockouts the theme is Christmas in July. The image I had to work with is this lovely one from polkadoodles called Hot Chocolate.
I thought it was a bit early for christmas cards but a couple of my grandchildren are already counting down the weeks so maybe it"s not too early
I coloured the image with copics and then covered it with cellophane,the cup and spoon look white but I coloured them in a very light blue along the edges just to give them a bit of depth, I cut the hole in the red card and made a wreath to go around the circle using a leaf punch (there were a few) then I cut some holes with the hole punch to make the berries and used a black roller tip pen to put the dots on them the bells are a die cut..I coloured them with copics as well The lolly backing paper was from a magical stack,I adhered it to the white base card then the main image was adhered to that.I put the image and sentiment on an angle just because it didn't look right to me stuck in the middle The sentiment is a ribbon
So I guess this is the start of my christmas cards
