Have a Purrfect Day

I made a card!!! My mojo has been on holiday in sunnier climes this last few weeks - it didn't help that I had a filthy cold - but I was tidying my craft hovel this afternoon and came across a heap of free-with-a-magazine papers. Hooray, huzza, El Mojo returned! I feel so much better now!

I'm so sorry I've been such a bad blogger recently. However, now that I can breathe without snuffling or sneezing every 5 minutes I will be friendlier, I promise!!!

Now for the card - it's not my usual style:


I've been watching videos by Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire and other marvellous crafters who are on the Design Teams of Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp. Their creations tend to be more clean and Simple. So I thought I'd have a go.

The card is cut to American A2 size, ie 5 1/2 inches tall and 4 1/4 inches wide. That almost exactly fits the Hero Arts Tiny Heart Background Stamp. I used Hero Arts 'Pool' ink (I got lots of ink pads with my Christmas money!!!) to stamp it.

I took a snippet of white card and glued strips of paper across the bottom. One was edged with a Fiskar's Sentiment Scallop punch. The cat paper and sentiment were the magazine freebie. The ribbon and buttons are from stash. I used another Christmas present - the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper - to round two corners. (Love that name so much!!!)

Thank you so much for looking, and for your kind comments!

Have a great weekend and, as it says in a wonderful book, The Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner - Be Blessed in your Endeavours

with much love, Mags B x

I thought the background was a freebie paper until I read further down. Love the cat paper and the sentiment. Your Miss Mojo certainly came back with gusto! hugs Mrs A.
