Hi There!

I have several cards made and sent last yr to my grandson of various different  cats that I have never shown. I have been keeping them to show this week as it is the 5th yr for the Cat Lovers Hop over on Her Peaceful Garden and run by Janis.This is the first yr I have been able to enter.

The digi image is by Bugaboo called 'Lilkitty tree.' Coloured with Promarkers.  The papers are from The Works.  The 'Hi' is a stamp by Imagination Crafts from their Decoupage stamp range.

That spammer is persistent. I found they had posted a comment yesterday to an old Butterfly Challenge so I deleted asap and marked as spam. I don't know what perverse enjoyment they get out of doing this.

Summer house is due this Friday. Yay. No summer left now but I shall be in there come rain or shine!
We did manage to have lunch in the garden today though before the rains came down.

Entering this card into the following challenges.
Her peaceful Garden. 5th Cat lovers hop.
Fab 'n' Funky #453 Feature a creature.
2 Crafty Critter Crazies #31 Anything goes with a critter.
Passion For Promarkers #515 Add a sentiment.
Through The Craft Room Door # Anything goes.
Penny's Paper Crafty #452 Anything goes.
Southern Girls # Anything goes.
Colour Crazy #41 Anything goes.
Alphabet Challenge #O is for one word sentiment.
Sweet Stampin # Creatures.

Has anybody else spotted  the big orange button (saying TRY THE NEW BLOGGER) that has appeared at the bottom left hand side of the Dashboard page?  Has anybody been brave enough to try it out yet!!

Hello, Mrs. A! Your kitty card is so adorable! I used a Bugaboo kitty today too! Sorry you're getting some spam - I get some spam comments occasionally and I delete them. Fortunately it doesn't happen very often. I haven't tried the new Blogger yet - would love to know if you find out if anyone has used it and what it's like. I like the old Blogger just fine! Well at least I'm used to it. I'm happy to see you at the Cat Lovers Hop!

Loving this fun card Valery....the image is a real cutie and gave me a smile this morning....
I haven’t had the courage to try the new blogger but I have had to put comment moderation on as well as some sicko is sending me what he seems to think are fun sexy messages....NOT......
Take care xxx

Aquarius said...

Love this cheeky kitty. I had spotted the 'try new blogger' button but like you half afraid to click in case everything goes wrong!

Jackie T said...

Hi Mrs A this is a stunning card. I love it. That cat is so cute. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Oh my, that is a card to make anyone smile it's so sweet. Bet you're getting excited, not long now before the Summer House arrives. My cabin is up and hubby has just finished the floor and is about to start staining the outside but for now it's storing the furniture from the conservatory but I'm in no rush to get everything in there as I plan a good sort out before my craft stash goes in as I don't want to make it into a dumping ground. Have a great week, Angela xXx

Jane Willis said...

Adorable card, Mrs A. I'm a first timer to the cat lover's hop too.
I feel your pain over the spammer, there seems to have been a surge of them recently. I'm on "spam patrol" for several challenge blogs as well as my own blog, so I'm getting pretty nifty with that "delete" button.

DonnaMundinger said...

Awww, what a cutie! Love that you've colored him as a Siamese like my first kitty Twinkle I got for my 4th birthday. Happy you joined the Cat Lovers Hop this year! Enjoy! xxD

terrie said...

A really cute image and super card Valery. I've not spotted this yet, Kate x x

Chriss America Real said...

This card is just adorable! I haven't seen anything with the button but I would recommend that you don't push it , LOL it sounds like you need to upgrade your security .

Hugs,

Chriss

Becca Yahrling said...

So happy to see you here, Mrs. A!! Your card is adorable.
I love the distressing you did around the edges - because I
think kitty looks a little distressed to be hanging in the tree
and not knowing how to get down! lol

Crafty KJ said...

This is just too cute! Love this gorgeous image and I love your card design too. Thanks so much for sharing at Passion for Promarkers this week. Hugs, Karen xx

Sue's Crafty Corner said...

This is gorgeous! Love the pussy cat and the distressed layers are fabulous! Hugs xxxxxxxx

Suzanne Harkinson said...

I'm hopping over from the Cat Lovers Hop today. I don't have the Bugaboo image, I might run right over and buy it since I have some money on a gift card. That's what I love about these hops - more stash enhancement opportunities.

Mrs.B said...

Aw it's such a cute kitty and it works so well with your design.
I've seen the new blogger sign, but am reluctant to try it.

What a cute card!

Alice (scrAPpamondo) said...

So cute kitty and lovely design for him!! It's a beautiful card, your grandson surely has loved it!
So happy to see you at the Cat Lovers Hop. Sorry instead for the spam... Sometimes this happens also to me, but -as you made- I deleted and blocked.
Hugs

Beverly S. said...

Cute card! Love that pretty cat image....he is just hanging on. :)

Kathleen said...

A really cute image and a lovely design.
Yes I have spotted it and not tried it myself as my thoughts are whenever blogger changes things it is never for the better. Brenda, who runs Allsorts, Stampins Sensations and PB and More has and she said she prefers what we have now.

Aww! This is a perfect card when you wish to say "You can do it, Kitty! Don't give up!"

Mia said...

As I am a cat lover, I simply adore your perfect card, Valery. Kisses, my friend.

Linda Mc Enery said...

Aaaah, this is such a cutie! I love how you've coloured your sweet kitty, and the sentiment is perfect! Thanks for sharing your card with us at Passion for Promarkers!
I've seen the invitation to try the new Blogger, but have just ignored it so far.
Yes, I've had to be vigilant on my blog, to deal with spam messages too. So frustrating!
Have a great day ValeryAnne!
Linda

Janis said...

Hi, Mrs. A!!
So glad you are able to join us for the Hop this year....and very glad to see you saved some of those wonderful cat cards to enter. I enjoyed seeing the others you made and posted previously.
This image is sure sweet. Love how the kitty is hanging from the branch...dropping in to say "Hi" I suppose. :)
I dare not try the New and Improved version of Blogger they are promoting. I have such an ancient workhorse of a computer that the new version would doubtless mess everything up beyond repair. Ugh. No thanks!!
Thank you so much for playing along with the #2019CatLoversHop!!
