Speedy the Cat did a REAL NO-NO! He ATE Markie's Lucky Bamboo! ATE IT!!!!!!!!!! Of course, that led to an Emergency Vet Clinic visit....That meant lugging a cat carrier full of HISSING, SNARLING, THRASHING cat up a flight of stairs...I don't like going to the vet either, mainly because I end up, usually falling UP the stairs, since Speedy the Cat's thrashing throws me off balance. Have I mentioned that I LOVE him??? No??? Well...life with Speedy the Cat is like a daisy...He loves me, he loves me not!
So, I was inspired to use this DAISY stamp! LOL!
Oh, and he's fine....it's not poisonous, just reedy and the vet took x-rays to make sure he just ate the leaves, and NOT the tough splintery stalk. I'm however, bent over with a TERRIBLE back ache, since I fell, again...What I do for Speedy the Cat...
I stamped and colored the image with markers. Next, I cut it and the mat with Nesties. I stamped the image again and colored the flowers and cut them out and adhered them with foam tape.
The white background was run through a Cuttlebug embossing folder that reminds me of the now GONE leaves on Markie's Lucky Bamboo. LOL!
The small butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch from WalMart.

Love your daisies. Funny, the ad as I'm posting is from the Daily Cat sponsored by IAMS! Now Speedy is even playing w/ the SCS ads. That cat is way too smart! I'm glad he's OK. I hope your back is also feeling better. I think I need to look for a butterfly punch... Have a great day Faith.

Faith, this is gorgeous! I love all your cards, but even more, I LOVE the stories about Speedy the cat. I'm owned by a cat, too, so I can relate. Hope you feel better soon!
