A Purrfect Challenge @ MAWTT

Hello folks, I'm slowly but surely getting back to normal health, I'm surprised how long that takes after an operation and my crafting is coming on very slowly!! Thank you to everyone for the good wishes and fabulous Get Well Cards I've received, I've been feeling very special and very spoilt I can tell you. Just another few days before I'm allowed to drive, thank goodness, I'm going a little stir crazy stuck at home 24-7. I will never moan about having to go out to get the grocery shopping again - well I might not LOL

It's time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

and my little Scottish friend Janice is hosting with the theme of

CATS

I'm not sure I should admit this as everyone at MAWTT is cat crazy but I'm not a cat fan, they always scratch me. Maybe the cat and I fight for top spot in a household!!
I didn't feel 100% when I made this but I've missed so much over at MAWTT lately I felt was in danger of being sacked if I didn't snap to it!!
(Not really everyone has been so kind and my lovely boss Hazel has been covering my commenting)
 

I did however, decide to go down the Clean and Simple route to speed things up, not that it does as I spend so long deciding if I should add more things to this style of card!! My cat is a rub on, so I haven't even coloured anything here!

Head over to the main challenge blog for lots of much more creative cards and news of a super prize up for grabs this week. We also have 3 new teammies joining our happy band that you can find out about there.

That's it from me, I'm off for a lie down LOL
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges....

It's good to work outside your comfort zone Laurie, and I'm sure if you met Merlot you would love cats!

As for your card, its a beauty for sure, very elegant and a very posh kitty image, love it to bits. Hope you are enjoying your time at your Mums, I'm sure the change of scenery will be most welcome. Take care and I'm so glad you are getting better so quickly - although it probably doesn't seem quick to you! Jx

Hi Laurie, glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery. It's a begger being stuck in the house isn't it!

I think my dislike of ending up with another day indoors stems from when Emily was tiny and I was cooped up for days on end. Even going down the road to the shop was a relief!!!

Gorgeous card - love the colour and that cat is quite obviously the boss isn't she!!

I don't mind you not being a cat person - I wasn't either up until my early 20s and even now (much as I love the puttys) if I had the choice I'd have a dog! But hubby (so he says!) is allergic so it's a dog or husband question. Hmmmmmm.

Kathleen said...

Fabulous card, love the lovely shade of pink and a really brilliant CAS card.
You and me both regarding cats, ask Lisa, that black one of hers makes a bee-line for me and I am certain it is because she knows I don't like cats.

Glad you won't be a prisoner for too much longer. xx

Judith said...

Love your posh kitty card Laurie - if in doubt make it CAS! - its a good approach. Im glad to hear you're starting to feel better, at least you're not missing much in the way of good weather, its too cold and wet to go out anyway - hopefully you'll be able to get off on your hollies before too long! hugs Judith x

Hi Laurie.
Would you please be able to give me any information on the Distress Marker class you are attending. Would love to have some proper tuition rather than being self taught.
Have a lovely weekend.
