I love travelling and have a list of "Places to Visit" that is almost as long as the list of books to read on my kindle. There just aren't enough hours in the day!!!

Week 2 with hairy visitor

I am finding it difficult to do much at the moment.  My visitor is very demanding!  She wants to sit with me - even when I am sat in my computer chair.  Then she seems to think that my only purpose is to stroke her.  I can't even read - because that means one less hand scratching her chin or rubbing her ears.  Then she wants to go outside every few minutes - just to check that there isn't a cat sat on the shed roof.  We got wet again this morning on our walk but she seemed to be enjoying herself.


Thank goodness blogger seems to be behaving at the moment - after last week when the stats went haywire with hundreds of phantom views of my blog I am back to my normal none or one views per day.  


On to this week's first card - a bit of a cheat really I suppose. 
Jingle Belles wanted at least 3 layers - so decoupage. 
Bah! Humbug! wanted scarves and mittens - I have the scarf. 
This card is also for the following challenges
Christmas Cards All Year 'Round - Anything Goes

I'm wondering if I can sneak this one into ABC Christmas Challenge - M is for Monotone - or does the scarf & nose spoil it?

Decoupage from the new Snowman CD from Crafter's Companion. The starry paper is some I have had for a while.  Base card is Snow white Centura Pearl.  Also used ribbon, core'dinations card, peel offs and glitter card from my stash.
The card is a pop out stepper card and I followed the measurements and tutorial on my friend Karen's blog - details here
And a sneaky peep of some of my paint fusion attempts in the background. :)

Methinks your house guest has settled in very nicely ... maybe even TOO nicely LOL!
No such thing as 'cheating' when it comes to craft and given how demanding your furry friend is I'm surprised you had time to even think about it far less make anything lol! Super snowman card with lovely papers. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!
