This one is in honor of Luna's home-coming! Little trollop left home for a few nights and made her Momma worry! Glad to say she's back home safe and sound. I used two sets from Cornish Hearitage Farms, "Weeds" and "Primitive". The sentiment, paw prints and Kitties are from a cheap little foam rubber stamp set I got YEARS ago as a stocking stuffer. The background "mask and sponge" technique is really the cut off left over end of another scene I made for another card. I colored the windows with a yellow marker and then added a bit of orange to create a shadow effect. Also colored the door. I tried adding a bit of shadow to the slats of the picket fence but I don't think it really made much of a difference. The sentiment panel is adheared with pop dots. Ran the MS punch through my Xyron sticker maker and added it to the scene. Here again, I used various scraps of CS that were just laying near the work station. A foot note: I really had this card done last week but Pat and her Side Kick CHEATED and posted early so they are disqualified. I am the actual FIRST POSTER!!!!! So I win!!!

You win! You win! Sista, This lil scene in honor of Luna is precious, and I completely agree that a home is just a house without a cat! I am so glad to have my little baby back, but oh-so-thankful that your mom is back! It was a great week indeed, and we saw God to great things, and also care about the little things, like bringing a furr baby home. Your scene is gawguss Tates! I love your 'Zindorf' touch that makes your home and kitties stand out so well. Just beautiful! TSMFS Hugs...

Well, you gals can have first place in cheatahland too!LOL I love that house and cat story, all very precious...but it's a cheat! LOL
Beautifuly sponged Tater, and I am glad Luna came back. I know some weir Duchess out in California that has a Luna cat too, is that because they are so much in the "Loone" as in Looney toon or bin! Don't mind my giddyness it's 7 am here and I'm just starting.
