CAT'S SKETCH FEVER

 
Cat is back with another great set of sketches for us this week!
This one has space for two 4 x 6 photos plus
an assortment of things trailing down the
left hand side.
The things you could use down that left hand 
side are endless:
flowers, any kind of die cut embellishment,
you could use buttons...
your imagination is the only limit there is!
 
 Four more photos on this page,
with room for more embellishments at the bottom.

You can see all of Cat's sketches

No, it's not Thursday.
But, since Thanksgiving is on
Thursday, we are doing Cat's Sketch Fever on

Use the background paper of your choice and

CAT'S SKETCH FEVER

 
Cat has created another great set of sketches
for us this week.
I always love sketches involving circles,
although you could swap out 
other shapes for the circles!
This page has three photos on it,
which is great since we tend to 
take LOTS of photos!
Great way to get some of those
Halloween photos scrapbooked!
More of those fabulous circles,
or your favorite shape!

FUN TIMES AT THE HALLOWEEN CROP

We came dressed for fun and
boy did we have FUN!
Even the food was dressed up for fun.
 
Joyce dressed up as a minion
and won the costume contest.
Vickie dressed up as an adorable Cat in the Hat
and placed second in the contest.
At 8:30 we were off to the Ghost Walk.
Over 200 people went on the ghost walk.
After all, it was the perfect activity 
for Halloween!
Even grandma went on the walk....
oh wait, that's Sharon!  LOL!
Race horse Nanci, aka Nellie, 
brought down the house during
the ghost walk, quite by accident!
Yes, the crazy cat lady (aka Cat)
knows how to put together a fun 
Halloween for us.
We had a blast!

IT WAS TAG-TASTIC!

 
Check out one of the FIVE
beautiful tags we made in 
Nanci's tag class on Saturday!
 
We inked, embossed,
stenciled, and "stickled". 
Check out how beautiful this holly is,
especially after you add FOUR
colors of stickles!
I don't have the patience for stickles
since I usually end up messing them up
while waiting for them to dry!
However, Nanci's use of them on the
tags Saturday convinced me to 
buy 12 more bottles of them. YIKES!!!
She is making a believer out of me!
Our "newbie" enjoyed the class
so much that she is looking forward
to the next one!
 
How can you not enjoy a class when you are creating
tags like this?!
 
We created two tags that 
could be used for greeting cards.
Even the envelopes were included!
Nanci has started using a chalkboard
to list the colors of ink that we are using
on our tag.
Yes, we ask that question OVER and OVER again!
If you check the pole out behind her,
above the "Beware" sign,
she has displayed the two tags we are working on.
 
The next tag class is
NOVEMBER 21st.
The date is changed due to the retreat.
Call ahead to reserve your spot.
Nanci has to make kits of each tag
for every attendee, so she needs
to know ahead of time if you are coming.
 The cost is $40 and you will
make 5 tags.
A light snack is provided and the class
lasts from 11:00 am to 4:00 p.m.

ONLY SEVEN MORE DAYS

 
You only have seven more days to order
some of Art Impressions' stamps
during the catalog party!
We have this stamp at the store,
but they have a whole collection of
these square stamps.
 And, those little square stamped images
fit perfectly behind this window die.
 
There are scenes for all seasons and
they are so adorable.
Plus, you can practice your coloring skills!
There is an assortment of these stamps.
We have these at the store,
but there are so many others to choose from!
 
 Just come in,
 browse the catalog, 
place your order & prepay.
 Cat will order every Monday the month of October.
Allow two weeks for delivery.
 Plus, if you order $30+ you will receive one of these cute giraffe stamps.

So, come in and peruse the catalog.
Order and prepay for your favorites!
Order $30 worth so you will
get the adorable giraffe stamp!
You have just
SEVEN days
 to place your order!

FRIDAY FUN

 
This is one of the reasons we had the benefit crop on October 3rd.
Look at that sweet face!
 Here is little Thomas doing his walk at the Juvenile diabetes walk.
He is the grandson of one of Cat's and Sharon's
dear friends, and he has Juvenile Diabetes.
  His team raised over $10K and we helped a bit ladies. 
This little guy, Maddie and so many more like them,
 hopefully will benefit from research with this disease.
 
And now, on a lighter note:
 
 Cat claims to know who to call....LOL!

 We wouldn't know anyone who does this,
would we???
 
Since we buy so much paper 
and so many art supplies, 
we have this dilemma:
 Have a great weekend and
come visit the store to
buy 
MORE 
SUPPLIES!!!

CAT'S SKETCH FEVER

Are you ready for another fabulous
sketch from Cat?
 
 I think this may be one of my all time favorites!
I love the little strips scattered in
clusters on the page.
This could be:
 strips of washi tape (one of my favorites),
 those fun little word stickers,
 pieces of ribbon,
or strips of paper!
Lots of possibilities!
 
 The facing page. 
More of those fabulous little strips!
Plus, love the fact that this has
room for six photos.
Gotta love that!

MINI ALBUM FOR PHOTO-A-DAY

 
Cat got a little behind with the albums
for the Photo-a-Day collections.
But, she has July albums and instructions READY!!!
I think you will find it was worth the wait!
 Cat used the beautiful Authentique "Freedom" collection
to crate this album.
 Beautiful mini albums inside
for you to put all of your photos.
 
Love the weaving on this one
and it also has lots of places for your photos.
 I love these pockets for
your photos.

If you are participating in the challenge and want a kit,
call and reserve it.
If you aren't participating, but would like a kit, 
call Cat to see if she has any extras.
She has already had one extra kit claimed.
These are very limited, so 
don't procrastinate.

Can't wait to see the August kit!
