Queen Kat Designs-Rocker Cat

Hi everyone 😀

Im on a huge cleaning bender! I must have spring fever or something!!! Feels great though.

Like I said the other day I just took a  look around my house (this is usually the playroom!) and realized things were getting stuffed into corners, or put in places they did NOT belong!!! Plus I needed to DUST everything really well. Like a Spring cleaning.

We just got our carpeting in our playroom (I think making the toy room move is what really sparked all of this), so we are close to the finish line to get it organized and set up. We do want to get a Futon , so I am on the hunt for one of those this week, so our friends and family can sleep over-or the kids can LAY down and watch TV if they are sick.

I really want everything all set before the kids are on vacation next week. I am also making plans to take my niece for a few days since the kids are home 😀 Give their mom and dad some much need rest. She decided that 2am is WAKE UP time and stays up till about 6am the past few nights. She is a snuggle bug and SCREAMS if you put her down! LOL! Oh parenthood. I tried to tell them about this stuff BEFORE they had her, but they insisted they would sleep when she sleeps. Obviously its not working so well. So I will give them the break I always wished I had gotten when I had a new baby in the house-SLEEP!!

Onto more exciting news……..

I am February’s Guest Designer for Queen Kat Designs!

Check out their blog HERE!

They also have a forum on Paper Craft Planet

I had hoped to start posting earlier in the month but all my computer issue’s made that impossible! Poor Vicki had some major issue’s with her computer too, so between the 2 of us this is the Guest Designer Disaster of a lifetime I’m sure! LOL! I am so happy she was understanding, since she was in the SAME boat (that was sinking day by day!).

Anyway-Vicki sent me a set caller Rocker Cat, and a few items to use to spark some creativity.

Now if you know me and my style, you know this set is like nothing I have ever used before. I found it to be a great creative challenge, to get me ot of my comfort zone! That is always a good thing. You’ll have to let me know what you think. I think I made the set totally fit ME!

Chics Rock!

This was the first card I made. I was quite happy with it.

I stamped, colored and cut the cat image, and layered it onto a heart. I repeatedly stamped my sentiment “chics rock” to make a background patterned paper. I love the layers. This actually  has a LOT of dimension. I think the adhesive rhinestones give it that extra “rocker” feel.

Now made another card with the cat image

Happy Birthday Kat

I have to say this one is PRETTY hot! LOL!

I stamped my cat onto acetate, then colored with my Souffle gel pens from the back.

I had some silver glitter adhesive squares that I layers onto my red cardstock mat. Then using glue dots, applied the colored cat over it.

The star was punched from DCWV glitter stack, and the happy birthday was stamped in silver encore ink.

The silver fibers were part of the kit she sent me. I think it looks pretty cool.

Party Animal

Now using more of the same elements this time I stamped the cat onto a die cut heart. I then made a glitter border using my gel pen and some black glitter.

I had these awesome gel heart stickers from Cloud 9 (thanks Sonia!) that were perfect!

I then stamped my sentiment on the red panel, and tied some of the ribbon & fibers to finish it off.

So there you have 3 different looks from ONE set, all using the SAME elements.

I’ll have a few more samples with this same set next week.

Pretty funky huh?

Well that is it for me. I have LOTS of organizing to do before I get some MY TIME in 😀
