A few things...

It has been a cold and rainy day today. I know spring is just around the corner and from someone who wanted snow so bad, I can't wait for it to warm up! I dream of having a summer garden and picking fresh tomatoes and basil.
This first card was made with K & Co. Urban Rhapsody paper and a Maya Road chipboard butterfly that I painted and glittered.

This next card was made using K. & Co Amy Butler papers.

This is some of my new tags I made. I drew out a pattern for a kite and cut it into 4panels, then glued to paper and then machine stitched around each panel and cut out the kite, leaving a small border. I attached some cotton tie and tied some fabric scraps to it to make a tail. And, a kite wouldn't be complete without some cloud paper!

And last but not least is a silly picture of Rocco who was actually sleeping! I tiptoed to get the camera and I was so happy he didn't wake up! I managed to get a couple photos and then he turned over but I think this photo is priceless, I love my Rocco kitty!

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week!

Oh my gosh, your kitty pic is so funny!! I have a dog that sleeps on her back with her feet up in the air. She's too jumpy for me to get pics though. Love your cards and your kite tags are wonderful!

Love all your projects and especially the very realistic-looking white kitty posing as Rocco! You know darn well he would never allow an actual photo of himself in that blackmail pose...LOL!

LOL!! Crazy cat! Oh, my gosh, that is toooooo funny! I am so glad you were able to get that picture.
and your projects are beautiful, as always. I really love your kit tags! They are so unique and fun. That cloud paper behind them is the perfect finishing touch. And gorgeous cards, as always. I love that Amy Butler paper. I bought some, but still haven't used it. Think it's still in my "too pretty to cut" mindset.
