Winter will be here before we know it . . .

 Happy Saturday Afternoon All!

Yep, I've put aside the housework and outside work today!
I've been having some fun creating & playing along in a few challenges.
My mojo has been 'lacking' so I decided to take the day and MAKE MYSELF create!

Anyways, here's another card I've created to share with you today . . .


Here are the challenges I spotted over on Paper Playful that inspired this creation:

Sketch Saturday Challenge #734 - sketch

Just Add Ink Challenge #670 - Just Add Wildlife
#justaddinkchallenge, #jai670

My Time to Craft Challenge #516 - Cats and/or Dogs
Crazy for Cats Challenge #1 - Anything CATS Goes




The stamp set I used today is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps ... No-117 'Snowy Cardinal Birdhouse & Snowy Chickadee Birdhouse'.  I purchased this stamp set a couple of years ago at the Adventures in Stamping Convention which comes here to Akron, Ohio each spring.

Coloring was done using Tombow markers and the other dies used are:

Sue Wilson 'Woodland Collection' (CED3103) Pine Cones & Greenery
Impression Obsession - Two Kitties (DIE876)

Okay ... back to creating while the mojo is still hanging around!  LOL

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you again real soon!
As always ...

    What a beautiful winter birdhouse! I love how you've used the die cuts around to build the scene around it. And gorgeous snowy spatter. Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Sketch Saturday.

    Love the birds and house, that kitty might have some bad ideas brewing if it is anything like the cats in our neighborhood :) Like the die cuts you added too!
