Cats Eyes @ Digial Whisper

Playing around with a basic scrap page today, chose the latest theme over at  Digital Whisper, which is Cats Eyes, straight away I thought of our Daisy, who is actually a hypnotising demon in disguise. We adopted her along with her sister Poppy from a family whose little boy was allergic to cats.

Animal or Pet

In the midst of Christmas card making, so I thought I'd have a change of craft and go digital this evening.

100% digital layout done using CAP2 and 'Poppies' digi kit, not sure if this is a persons handmade kit or from Daisy Trail, apologies if I don't credit.

I have 5 cats, but  this layout is dedicated to 3yr old Poppy, sister of Daisy, both are tuxedo cats (love this description) with Daisy having more white on her coat. Poppy is a miaower and loves lots and lots of fusses, Dasiy is more offhand and will only come for a fuss on her terms, but is open to bribery if she knows her cat milk is in the fridge.

Bertie Blue's

Over at lunagirl, the theme for the current challenge is Spring Chickens, I wanted to do something fun and created this faux vintage label, digitally.

elements from digi kits.

 

Using CraftArtist, I punched the main Rooster image out of the label and then placed him in the middle of my work page, I then went to work on the wording, changing fonts and sizes when needed. I then placed the wording round the image and added some edging to finish the label off.

It was a quite a simple page to do, but a lot of faff doing the writing & the positioning.

 

 

in honour of Bertie:

 

We used to have a cockerel named Bertie, originally when we purchased him & his little sister, we named him Gertie as we were assured that they were both point of lay.... therefore both hens. Imagine our surprise when we out in the garden a few weeks later and Gertie let out a strangled cockadoodledoo call! I don't know who was my surprised us or Bertie!! Henceforth he was Bertie and for the next three years, we and all our village (or so it seemed) woke to the sounds of his early morning crowing, he was that loud I was dreading someone complaining but no one ever did.

 

He also had a very good kick on him, learnt from experience never to turn your back on him as he would, if he felt like it, run up to you and launch himself at the back of you legs, giving you such a kick it would knock you flying. Rooster Bruiser! If you managed to turn round before he did it and stare at him he'd just waddle by as if nothing was wrong.

 

Sadly one day I went to let the gang out, we had 5 birds by then, I opened the door and Bertie had crowed his last crow ; (    He's now buried in the garden, silently crowing over his girls.

Chopped up some random backing papers and used Ursula's Heart Cookie digi stamp from The Digi Garden (sadly missed) to make this card, loved how it turned out.

please ignore the dinosaur wall paper, wasn't my choice! It was a little boys room before we moved in *cough* 16 years ago and its still there.......................
