Hi friends!
Happy Sunday!
South Florida, where I live, isn't kicking up it's heels just yet -
we're putting up our umbrellas!
We were drenched by Fred and now we're waitng
- and watching -
Grace!
AND it's the last week of summer vacation ...
We need a recount - LOL!
It's also the 15th of the month which means we create a card
based on the card kit mailed to us by the dueling hostesses.
This month's themed kit from Suzy and Deb:
The Wild Wild West!
How super fun!
Suzy provided The Diamonds with a stamped image, papers, embellies
and this how I colored/created my card.
I loved the face on this sweet cat, such cattitude!
I colored him (yes ... it's a boy!) to look like one of my old kitties,
Big Red.
I always said if he was a person, he'd have been Hoss from Bonanza ..
a gentle giant!
He was a stray I adopted and he was HUGE!
He was bright orange from head to tail and had not had an easy life.
He hung around our parking lot at work,a sweet boy never harming
anyone or the cars but my boss hated animals and ...
well, I scooped him up and took him home,
much to my mom's dismay.
He lived out his days with me and I will always love my Big Red kitty!
Be sure to check out the rest of the Creative Card Ladies
on Splitcoaststampers - it's a WILD wild west month!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh I love this big red Kelly - out big red was named Sam, and he too was amazingly gentle - unlike my current caramel ginger, Tinker....
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, and I love how you have matted Big Red to be the star
Stay safe

Such an adorable card. I love that you colored your kitty to match my 2 kitties I have at home.
ReplyDeleteMakes me remember we have Wild West Park out here I should take the grands to. Cute card Kelly
ReplyDeleteFantastic card! I love the die you used to show off Red.
ReplyDeleteWow Kelly I love the way you colored Big Red. It comes as no surprise to me that you adopted the gentle giant. Your heart is so big and compassionate. Great job on this challenge. I love your layout and the dsp you used as well.
