Henrietta

6x6-pretty-kitty-diane-zechman.jpgOK, all you scrapbookers out there….please don’t laugh!  LOL.  I’m still a newbie at scrapping and I really am trying….really….I am!  😉  This page just seems a bit busy doesn’t it?  hehe.  Well, I’ll try to learn from it.  What I really wanted to share with you is the stamped images.  C.C. Designs will be releasing some cute new sets next week and this is my first sneak peek.  This set is called Pretty Kitties and includes 2 cats, some words and a little mouse.  The words “Pretty kitty” and “one cool cat” were stamped directly onto the photos.  Another new set was used here called “All The Months” which is just what the title describes…all of the months in a super cute font!  When I saw the cat stamps and the month words, I thought it would be the “purr-fect” time to scrap some kitty photos!  Henrietta is no longer with us.  She lived to be about 13 and she was such a nice cat.  Well, she could get naughty too!  LOL.  She even managed to open the screen door!  The photo above shows one of her favorite spots that she liked to sleep.  I could never keep flowers planted in this little flower box because she would lay right in the dirt with them.  The flowers would die and dirt was dumped everywhere so I eventually gave up and let her sleep there.  The flowers look so pretty in the box right now and I think of her everytime I see them.   

6x6-cool-cat-diane-zechman.jpgHere’s the other kitty in the stamp set.  They sure have personality!  The brown mouse on the right was colored and popped up.  I stamped the crown from the first kitty and cut it out, attaching it to the photo.  How fitting…. she sure acted like a princess at times!  Some Stickles was added to the flowers and crowns for sparkle.  Gotta have some bling!  Check back tomorrow for another sneak peek and check the ATS blog for more great samples.

Before I get to the project I’m sharing today I want to let you know that July 11 will be my first blogiversary!  Wow- it hardly seems that a year has gone by already!  So keep any eye out in the coming days for some blog candy to celebrate.  😉

pase-name-frame-diane-zechman.jpgI made this name frame a little over a week ago for some friends who are moving away.  They and another family came for dinner one night to say goodbye.  We had such fun!  Anyway, I was inspired by the frames that Jenn (sarsam) did and created this one for them.  I purchased the frame at Walmart.  Our friend found a nest of baby birds that fell during a recent storm and he has been watching over them but only one baby survived.  So I decided to include the bird and branch along with a bible verse.  These name frames are fun to create- thanks Jenn for the little nudge I needed to make them!
