Westiegirls C.A.T (Chatter And Talk)

We had a tidal wave here last week. There wasn't too much damage done just a bit of mopping up and a bit of extra laundry to do.
No! I don't live in American Samoa..."Ro-Ro" fell in the bath = tidal wave!! I was in the bath at the time-remind me why I didn't have the camera handy?? He hit me first, bouncing off my perfectly rounded stomach & then hitting the water which created a humungous tidal wave! Water went up the wall, on the floor, hit my (previously) DRY pink pajama's I had intended to get into, & even splashed the bathroom mirror!
I am not sure who got the biggest surprise, me or him. It was close. I screamed, (ok, so I swore!) he splashed about frantically trying to climb out of the bath but failed miserably and slipped back in creating tidal wave #2! I grabbed the nearest towels, one for me & one for him! Rolled him in the towel (it was the only dry thing in the bathroom!) & rubbed him until his fur stuck up & he looked like he'd put his paw in the light socket! But hey, he was happy! He totally enjoys the bath & the rubbing with the towel which is why I am sure he jumps in on purpose! It took three days for the towels to dry because it rained all week - like I hadn't had enough water for one week?? Oh well, I have plenty of towels.. and pajama's:-)

'Lil' Punkins'




I have been playing with my food again... well ok I haven't really, I've been making pumpkin pins!! Oh what FUN I have had making these cuties! I found the idea on SCS & the talented lady whose idea it was, goes under the name of girlgeek101. So go & check them out on SCS! They are made by cutting 5 ovals (I used my cb & my oval nesties) & one slightly bigger oval for the back. I made the curly leaf things from a punch & just hand cut the stems. At first I drew the faces then stamped some using an old SU stamp set. (A very well used set I have to say!) Using sponge tape I started by sticking two ovals together side by side then did another two. Then I stuck the middle oval (with the face) on top. I added the leaves & stem then at the back of the pumpkins I stuck the slightly bigger oval lengthwise to hold everything together. I drew the white dotted lines around each oval first. Some of these will be pins some will be made into cards. Halloween is not big here but when I do make Halloween stuff like it to be friendly & cute, not ugly & scary! Ok, thanx for visiting, hope your weekend went well! {{HUGS}} from me to you!

More Christmas Stuff..



This was a sort of pre-made card. I just cut out & dry embossed the penguin & stuck him to the card. I added some lines of Kindyglitz for snow behind him & that was it!

Another Attempt At Christmas!



I cut a circle in a piece of clear vellum paper, making sure it fit over the image I had stamped. I used various colours of Brilliance ink on the stamp. I cut the stamped image out & added the vellum. I folded the ends of the vellum behind the image then run it through my cuttlebug machine to flatten it! Works a treat! THEN I added the two flower brads to the center of each flower. I cuttlebugged half the green card & stuck the vellum etc to the green card. Thanx for dropping in, have a fun weekend & {{HUGS}} from me to you!

I was Busy Last Night...






...and these are some of what I made! A Christmas door hanger & a Halloween pumpkin! Now, I saw the HP on SCS somewhere, so if you recognise it as yours, please let me know so I can give you credit:-) It was a clever idea! I pinched some leaves from some silk flowers I had. I like the door hanger, it was fun to make! The two Purrito's (my two cats!) also liked it, I hung it on the nearest doorknob & they thought it was fair game to play with it! Thanx for visiting, have a fun day! {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

Butterfliies



This is a cling mount Stamp-It stamp. I added a clear oval gemstone to his body & some square gems to each corner of the white card. I also added a piece of cream coloured ribbon with gold along the edges.
Very simple but elegant. Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me!

Yippee Success...At Last!



OMG!! I made a Christmas card using one of my new stamps! Pheww, it was an effort! I'm not in the mood to do "normal" cards right now, my sense of humour is a little off centre & I wanted to do cards that matched my sense of humour:-)
"Ziggy" is a Stampendous stamp, The antlers are from "art Impressions" and the little tag card is from Inkadinkado. I stamped the tiny asterisks (Stamps by Judith) randomly & hand drew (can't ya tell!) the lines around the edge of the white card. It came out just how I wanted it to:-)
On the tag card there is a tiny red dot, beside it, it says "Cat Flap", 'cause that's where I decided Santa was to deliver the prezzies! The other options are: Chimney, Front Door, Back Door, Side Window, or Key Under Mat! Fun stuff! Ok, still want your idea's though! Thanks fro visiting & thank you to everyone who has left me a comment! I do appreciate them all! {{HUGS}} to you all & have a great day!
