IVA'S " 'TIS THE SEASON BLOG HOP " DAY #2

For today I've made a cute Santa card using DOODLECHARMS.  This cartridge has so many cute cuts on it. 

The "BELIEVE" is a stencil from a DecoArt Laurie Speltz's Instant Images template I got a Michael's after Christmas sale a couple of years ago for 99 cents and it's the first time I've used it.  How could I pass up a $.99 deal like that :)

Don't forget to visit http://ivarai.com/ to see the list of everyone who is participating in her blog hop. 

And please make sure you visit my "before me" and "after me" buddies!!

IVA'S " 'TIS THE SEASON BLOG HOP "

A BIG THANK YOU to Iva at http://ivarai.com/ for hosting this blog hop.  I'm so excited to be part of this ~ first one that I've ever participated in.  Thanks for visiting my little blog.  Please leave a comment and become a follower ~ I'd appreciate it.

Now....on to my project for today with a little background info.

This year my family has chosen OPERATION PETS/FELINE CAT FOCUS http://www.operationpets.org/ ~ http://www.feralcatfocus.org/ to donate to.

A few months back, someone dropped an adorable (but pregnant) kitty off near our home. We started feeding this poor malnourished mama cat and became very concerned when we didn’t see any kittens. We searched and searched our property but had no luck finding the babies. Then out of the blue there were 5 kittens at our back door. We’d love to make them indoor kitties but we already have a house full of animals (not to mention a barnyard of chickens and a couple of goats) and the fact that they are considered “feral”. OPERATION PETS/FERAL CAT FOCUS OF WESTERN NEW YORK has been a blessing to us and we are in the process of getting all the kittens and the mama “fixed”.

Here's the money jar I decorated.  My youngest daughter named all of them so there's PUMPKIN the mama and her 5 kittens.  The kitty head is cut from DOODLECHARMS, large Santa hat is from HOOT N HOLLER and the little hats are from PEPER DOLL DRESS UP.





Thanks again for visiting me and please visit these other wonderful paper crafters who are hopping too.
