Cat Lover's Blog Hop 2020!

 I may have been living under a rock!  I didn't know there was a cat lover's blog hop!  But now I do, so let the fun commence!



My daughter and I were just saying that we don't FEEL like we have a house full of fur babies, until someone asks about our pets.  We have 2 dogs, 4 cats and a ferret! And we love each of them! I do find that it's hard to get good pics of the kitties.  They don't like to pose!  BUT, I have to gush about our newest discovery.  Cat In A Bag!  Our kitties cannot stand being put into carriers!  It's stressful for all involved.  So, out of desperation, I tried this bag that I had seen online a few times.  Best. Thing. Ever!  Look how calm Sophie, my daughter's kitty, is on the way to the vet!  (the vet loved it too!!)



For today's card, kitties were the inspiration of course.  And I always look for an excuse to use my stamps from SugarPea Designs.  A scene like this always takes me out of my comfort zone a bit, because there are so many little elements to think of, and I don't want to choose my colors poorly.  Thank goodness Copic Markers are forgiving! 😉 But, I am actually quite tickled with the finished product!



I am participating in a few challenges this week:

    I'm so glad you posted about the cat in a bag! I was wondering if it really worked and was used by "real" people. My one cat is so terrified of the carrier, I hate to make a vet appointment for him. I'm going to order one. I love your image of the girl and her cat in the window. Sweet card!

      Thank you! OMGosh! I was the same about the bag! It takes a bit of getting used to, how to fit it properly, but the vet LOVED that she could unzip the back and give our kitty an exam without having to remove her!

    Aaaw, your kitty is so cute! I always wondered about those bags - I'll be looking in that for sure! Your card is so sweet, such a cute image, and I like your card design with all the angled pieces. So happy you discovered the Cat Lovers Hop! I enjoyed reading about all of your pets too!

    That has to be the most cutest card ever! I love the way the little girl is resting on her arms talkin to the kitty. Beautifully coloured! I've seen those cat bags online, and its great to hear you've actually used it and it works so well. I had wondered about them. Happy hopping from Cat Lovers!

    What a sweet card! I just love that little girl leaning out the window! And that cute little black cat? Does it get any cuter?! I might need to look into the cat in a bag! Our cats HATE their carrier and get so stressed out! That seems like the answer! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

    Your card is super cute, Dina. Your cat is beautiful and does look relaxed in the bag. I keep wondering if I should get one for Casey as he hates his carrier. I'm so glad you found the Cat Lovers Hop this time. Make a note in your diary for the next one. xx
