Meowy Christmas Card

Don't you hate it when "life" gets in the way of your card making time?  :)  That is me this week.  I've been looking forward to the Cat Lovers Hop but when it finally arrives I have "life" getting in the way of my fun..  First I had unexpected work days and then hubby was scheduled for a minor surgery taking up the rest of my week.  I managed to  "hide" in my craft room tonight while our dinner was cooking and create the above card.  I thought I would make do a holiday theme since I am in full Christmas card making mode.  I have been doing cards for the Caring Hearts Card Drive
and I also signed up for a large Christmas card swap with 133 other gals.  Won't that make going to the mailbox fun in December?  ;)  My festive Christmas cat wants to join in at the following:

2018 Cat Lovers Hop -- Your Creation Must Have A Cat

Jingle Belles -- Must Have A Christmas Animal

Just Add Ink -- Buttons, Bow, Bling (My cat image has a bow (plus I did a twine bow) and the gold sequins are "bling.")

Southern Girls Challenge (Critter Crazy)

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge (All About Holidays)

Great double duty card, Christmas and cats. I'm so far behind in my Christmas card making goals but there's Beccy's Place November Christmas Card Challenge to spur me on.

I KNOW what you mean abt real life getting in the way. Hope your hubby's surgery went well. Glad you could squeeze in time to craft!!
Love this elegant kitty Christmas card. The shiny gold is so rich and beautiful. Love the addition of the Meowy on the sentiment.

I am trying to visit as many projects as possible while my internet is still working. It has been down or spotty since Saturday night, which really messed up my commenting!! Thank you so much for being a part of the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop!!
