Taking Flight


How is it Thursday already?  This week is just flying by.  I feel like I've barely stopped.  My boss is away so I have extra responsibilities at work.  I'm also taking care of my boss's neighbors' cats (since they're away too) and I'm walking Tug, my neighbor's dog, everyday this week.  Unfortunately my Tex is not so great with other dogs (that's what happens when you spend the first 12 years of your life chained up getting no socialization) so I have to walk him separately from Tug so I end up taking three 40 minute walks a day.  If nothing else I'm getting my exercise this week!  

Luckily I had a productive crafty weekend so I've had cards to share this week.  Today I'm playing along with the Addicted to CAS pets challenge which seems especially appropriate this week since I'm drowning in pets!  :)  Naughty Newton has taken off from his birthday party and who know where he'll end up.  I used a journaling card from Reverse Confetti for the sky and added a generous coating of Wink of Stella to the balloon.

That's it for now.  The critters are calling!

This is such a sweet card Jen, that image is precious! Yay for you getting exercise this week. I have been walking Sam every day 1.8 km dressing in down filled parkas, hat, mitts and boots! Walking were you are is sounding mighty lovely right about now! Actually it always is!

This is so sweet Jen, I love it. Sorry work is kicking your butt this week. A faux misti is basically made by someone else! It is $25 and works exactly the same, the one I bought is called Stamp Perfect. Cx

I should say "pets" is the word! Sounds like you have your hands full! Such a cute card, Jen. Just hope it's not one of your boss' neighbor's cats!

That is a LOT of animals to be looking after! Still, when you compare it with other forms of work... ;)
Very cute Newton card! I do worry about cat claws and balloons though (especially since I made a somewhat similar-image card today!)

Oh boy 3 walks a day! But then yes, it has its advantages I guess! Good neighbor you!
Love your sweet kitty cat!

Busy bee! Wow! I love the subtle stripe in the background.

I'm surprised you have time to make cards with all that walking, Jen. This one is super cute.
