Party Cat

That son of ours, the one I showed you yesterday in the swing turns 14 this week.  Sheesh!  He's very proud that in the last month he's become taller than me and tells me so at least a couple of times a day.  He is a gem, and we're pretty close.  I think we're wired somewhat similarly in certain ways so we have some good talks and he's very loving.  I am very proud to be his mom.  


So here's his Party Cat :) what's funny is that he and I are both very allergic to cats.  So I think he'll get the humour in this.  Its a very fun image from Birdie Brown that I won recently.  So cute right?  Torico is amazing as an illustrator and designer.   I coloured this goofy cat and presents up with Copics and then carefully trimmed out the image and popped it up on some fun Stationary Noted paper from Teresa Collins.  My guy's favourite colour is red, so I threw a lot of that in there.  


The one thing I did for fun was cut out 14 on my Silhouette machine and used the negative of the cut to create a windowed design with a little red cardstock behind.  I think he'll like it :)

Copics:  R08, R24, R27, R29, B91, B93, B95, C00, C1, C2, C3, C5

Thanks for dropping by!
