Cat Christmas

 As so often happens, I found a super fun sketch that I just needed to play along with and create a card using it.  Here is my card:

I've been having so much fun using up scraps on the most recent Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge sketches that I had to continue on and use some more.  I went looking through a pack of Christmas papers I have and came up with these scraps shown below:

I took the narrow strips and then cut the rest of the papers into strips the same width and used them to create a panel.  As per the sketch, I cut the panel and ended up with two scrap, strip pieces that I can use on cards.  Check back on Wednesday to see the other card I made with the rest of the panel.
I stamped the sentiment and stamped, colored and fussy cut the little kitty before adding him to the card.  Finished everything off with some ribbon and some red pearls.

Supplies:
Stamps: MFT "Cat-astrophe"; Cardz TV "Christmas Critter Captions"

Challenges:
Pixie's Snippets Playground #466--anything goes using snippets












Christmas Kickstart Challenge--Christmas with a cat
ABC Christmas--U is for use it up (using some scraps, and the red ribbon and pearls I have had for a looooong time!)
Crafty Catz #656--anything goes with the optional twist: any 4 legged critter
My Favorite Things Christmas--anything Christmas goes
Jingle Belles--not a creature was stirring
Make My Monday #212--Pun/Fun sentiment

    Brilliant way to use those pretty scraps to create a new design. Adorable sentiment for that sweet cat as well. Thank you for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts this week.
