Caturday Art ~August

A mini kit challenge from Dutch Dreams Designs. 

 

The Designer Spotlight Challenge at Ginger Scraps.

 

The Entertainment Challenge (Phantom of the Opera). I got the entire page finished before I realized the designer had retired and therefore the kit couldn't be used for the challenge.

 

So this is the challenge redone.

 

Font Challenge the fonts name is Nurse School.

 

In a Word Challenge (the word for this month was Destination).

 

This is a new challenge and I really like it. It's the Initial Challenge and this months initial was A, so I used the color Aqua and the alpha included in the kit and used August for my theme. Martin and I often go to the beach in the evenings to watch the sunset when he is here and we enjoy watching the birds. They start coming closer to the shore once most of the people start leaving.

 

Inspiration Challenge

And another mini kit challenge.

Caturday Art with Ladybug and Yang

This is the All About Me (Mom) Challenge. Mom has to do 31 pages for the Scrap-a-thon this month, so she is doing some challenges she doesn't normally do.

This is the Bucket List Challenge.

The Buffet Challenge. You have to use one of the Buffet kits Mom used Peach Please by Aimee Harrison Designs. And I offered my services as a model. Mom is very annoyed. Mom took me to the groomers to be brushed and they shaved me down to my skin (this was LAST FALL) my hair still hasn't grown back and the veterinarian said it may never grow back.

 

Color Challenge. Mom and M Dad ran off to Ireland for their honeymoon. Mom found lots of four legged things to pet.

Candlesticks

This is what the candlesticks looked like starting out.

I had to glue one back together. When I was cleaning them I discovered the melted wax was hiding where they were previously glued. 

 

I used chalk paint in a spray can to create the base coat.

As you can see the color looks different inside the house compared to in the sunlight.

Once I got the base painted it was time for the detail work.

I used oil paint markers for the detail work, they worked fabulously and I will definitely use them again if I ever do something similar. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my candlestick project. I used them in the wedding. ~Sandra

The Story of Hershey and Oreo March 2025 (Sunday Selfies)

Before we get down to our story Mom said this picture qualifies as a selfie. 

Now without further ado the story of how we came to live with Mom. I just got trapped  rescued. They got Hershey the night before, but being super fast and extremely alert I escaped up a very tall tree. This is pretty much where MDad and Mom found us. Out in the middle of nowhere walking in the middle of the road in the dark. Mom said thank God for my white paws and chest because that is how they saw us in time to stop without running us over. For the longest time MDad was convinced there was a white cat, because all he saw was white. Mom convinced him it was me. 

Our first stop was Grandma B's house where Hershey was hiding in a closet. He had enjoyed food, water, a litterbox  and a warm safe place to sleep while I endured being stuck in a tree by myself all night with nothing to eat or drink. I don't know what he was complaining about when I found him.

Boy were we glad to see each other.

Our next stop was MDad's house, we stayed there about a week until he brought us to Mom's house.

As you can see I take my job of protecting Hershey seriously. 

Mom says we are gorgeous.
