CCL - Wild Wild West!

 

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!

Thanks for stopping by!
