This week's CAS373 challenge is birthdays!!! I actually have several birthday cards to make but I think I am going to give this one to my husband. He turns 50 this year! Yikes! He loves cats as much as I do so I thought it would be fun to create this for him. He likes minimalistic cards so..... I will probably make another one for him as well and make it woodsy after all 50 is kind of a big deal and requires more than one card, don't you think?
My goal this year is to use all the fabulous gifts I have been given and this cool cat is one of those gifts. My sweet friend Janine (Jay_Bee) who just happens to be one of our newest Dirty Gals sent me this. It's been sitting on my desk just begging to be featured and today was the day!
I couldn't have made this card without the help of my MISTI. It took me several times of reinking the cat and the Happy Birthday sentiment took me several times to position them just right. The sentiment is from a fabulous Unity stamp set called Fall for You that I won a few years ago!

Ok, back from a town run....now for the rest of the story.....
I chose this cool cat not only because I have been dying to use it but also because I have been thinking of what to create for this week's Featured Stamper. This week's FS480 Featured Stamper is Barbara aka Blue Kube. Her gallery is full of adorable critters so I only had to look as far as my desk to choose my own critter to feature. Here is a super cute card from Barbara that I love: You're the Cat's Meow
