I love Saturdays because our Ms. Stef comes up with the greatest of color inspirations. Today was no exception to her track record! Thanks Stef.
Well, I really loved one particular teal room, but I got rather carried away from my original thought and inspiration in a way...Nutmeg you can understand cant you?
The cats embellishment came from an old Laura Birch summer bag I had. Interestingly, I had no idea for probably the entire summer these were cats. You have to know me to understand my penchant is clearly not for cats, but rather for dogs.
Once someone mentioned that cats, that was it for me - off this thing came. However, today it has a new life - not in my home but for someone who happens to love cats. Yeah, I'm takin' one for the team!
Have a great Saturday everyone. Thanks for taking a look at what cats can do for a card!

I'm a dog person too but I think these cats are pretty darn stylish!! It's a shame they don't come like this in real life, I'd keep one or two around just to brighten up the room
Love your card and style, Anne!!

I'm with you on the cats vs dogs but these ones are the CAT'S MEOW (I know how corny). But what a great card you've created with your recycled embellishment! Love your card Anne!

What a delightful tale in addition to the great card! I can seriously identify - being a dog-lover myself. I must admit the cats are divine in all their fabulous color! I'm in awe of your beautiful stitching and neatly tied pretty ribbon! A job well done, and way-to-recycle your embellishment into something a true cat lover will enjoy!!

I just love cats and would have at least two if I weren't allergic. Love my dog more, though. Anyhow, I just love those cats on this card. How original and artsy. Love the teal and the ribbon. Purrfect job!

Oh Anne, what an awesome idea to recycle. I think these little guys are cute.. Love the Teal color, and of course, your stitching is just perfect.... Someone is going to get a wonderful card...
