Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
I have spent the early hours of today chasing Speedy the Cat around the house...He had this new stamp set from H&M Stamps, and was teasing me!
He woke me up by jumping on my stomach from the dresser, then proceeded to brush my face with the stamp set packaging until I groaned fully awake. Once I realized it was a STAMP SET he was teasing me with, the chase was on! Can you imagine? 5AM??? I must have been a sight! Speedy the Cat hid under the coffee table, under the china cabinet, under Markie's bed, and then finally, I caught him in the SHOWER, where he was trying to BURY the stamp set UNDER the bath mat! I heard Spittie Kittie explaining the "ART OF CHASE" to KoKo and YumYum...I swear, I'm the PET in this house! Or, more likely, the comic relief!LOL!
The Apricot Appeal panel, top to the palm tree, and the small Only Orange panel were run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Daniel the Dinosaur was also run through the CB. I used a dauber and Classic Inks to highlight the embossing.

This is way to cute and your story is way to funny girl!! Hey I know why he was up early this morning with a stamp set!! I stole him last night because he was begging to be on my card!!! When I took him home around 5:00 this morning, I figured he'd go to sleep because I had him up all night, but I guess he saw the new stamps and thought 'PARTY TIME!!!' LOL Sorry, next time I'll tell him he'll have to wait until the morning before I come and get him!!! LOL BTW, Great job!!!
LOVE this card! The CB folder on the dinosaur really makes the card. I also like all of your dots. I also like your cats' names - you must be a fan of The Cat Who series.
