This week's TSC was to make a funny card and use a punch. Several years ago, I learned how to make a penguin using oval and heart punches from my Creative Memories consultant. Taking that example a smaller step forward, I used a nestie for the body. Worked out well I thought. I have had these "snow" buttons for a long time; found them on the discount row at Hobby Lobby one summer. Then I proceeded to loose the "o". Oh what to do what to do!!! Then it came to me and this is the result. My kittie Getchie is my stamping cohart and she insisted on "helping" with this photo. Was quick and simple. By the way, guess what turned up AFTER I completed this card? Yep, I found the "o" and it was in Getchie's toy basket. Sigh.................

Well Tater, this is down-right adorable! Love that critter and the great use of nesties and punches! Too cute! (fav-fav-fav!) Glad your kitty snagged the "O"- the snowflake looks great! (good job Getchie!) Maybe she's gonna make a card later? Your snowy bg looks wonderful Phyllis. Beautiful and funny, great job! LYMI
