Hate to tell you all this, but word on SCS is that schirmcat is at it again! She is already working on her list for next year! Here is proof positive. I have it from a very reliable source. They had pictures! I've seen them. Since I couldn't afford the price of the photos, for a much smaller fee, they let me make a sketch of them. I think the resemblance is un-canny, don't you?......now about this card........
Drew my sketch of schirmcat on white cs, colored with w/c pencils, cut out. For the challenge today, we were to sponge or brayer ink on glossy cs. I used glossy linen cs. Since it said not to mix colors as to muddy them, I just decided to mask them off and make a bg scene of wall paper, base board and carpet, putting the list maker at the table with her cup of whatever it is that she drinks these days, and a pencil behind her ear! Before sitting Miss Schirmcat down, I spritzed tough n tender over my inked bg. I guess regular glossy cs would have worked better, but I was just so excited about getting this news out to ya'll!
So excited that most of this card was put together on a poorly lit table because my Ott-lite kept flickering and going off! I thought perhaps schirmcat had something to do with this! or maybe not. Could be the light is kinda old! LOL
So my friend, BEWARE.......lists are being made again!.....TFL :0) (hope you like it!)

Very good likeness of the Schirm I'd say! not sure her lipstick is quite that red but you've got the hair do down pat! I'd say people are going to start paying to be on this so very popular list now!!!
love your card - so creative and clever!

I cannot believe you drew this....You have got to start a stamp company. I agree with Faith. I just love this. I am so glad you sent out a warning. I am on the nice list but I feel for all that aren't. Terrific job. I just searched Walmart for Green STUFF. Couldn't find any so I had to sit out. Great job. BE GOOD...

Oh yeah, that scheming Schirmcat!! I'll bet she's really squirming now!! Great sketch - you've caught Squirmcat - oh, I mean Schrimcat or whatever the heck her name is, very well! Love the pencil behind her eye! Reminds me of the old days when the grocery store men wore pencils behind their ears.. like some kind of a status symbol. Guess that pencil behind Kelly's ear is as good as it gets for her status wise!
Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Schirmcat! Look what you 've started!!!! It's neverending it seems! Such a backlash from us naughty folks!

WOW a WOW WOW! Cathy!
This is far too cool!
My goodness lady you certainly have the likeness to our lil Santa's helper here!
Great story.....I heard also that Schirmcat is very attentive to this little list of hers!
It seems that the lights are on late at nite at her house and we all know there is nothing naughty keeping them on ...so it has to be .......the list!...did I say that!
I have to agree with Faith and ask ....why aren't you designing stamps???
... great card! great story great coloring!
Keep them guessing ...it just seems naughty!

Yup, that's her alright: she must have all that red hair piled on top of her head as evidenced right here! Totally remarkable drawning, Nutmeg! I'm crazy about this one. It's so true to life, whethe she will admit it or not! I know. It's the damn truth I tell you. Perfect photo drawing!
