Wasn't ME

Howdy - MichelleO here today with Christmas In July at High Hopes Stamps - and this week my image is a little close to home! People ask me, why don't you put up a Christmas Tree? Well...

It has happened to us ... years ago and that was calm cats. I can't imagine with these kitties we have it would be insane! But I still love the image! It is a holiday giggle favorite of mine. High Hopes Stamps "Wasn't Me" I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then found some pretty pattern papers from Teresa Collins World Traveler collection. All the layers are sewn down with zig zag and straight stitches. 

For the sentiment I went with High Hopes Stamps "Define Naughty" Sometimes I think I can here our cat Bubba saying that when he is in trouble. LOL  I punched out the sentiment with an EK Success punch then faux matted it with a Copic around the edge. 

Copic colors used - 

 Giggled while doing this one for sure. A fun image for your holiday card! To see all the images at High Hopes Stamps click HERE and see all the fun!

Wasn't Me!

Howdy - MichelleO here - and I have to admit... I saved a favorite Christmas image from High Hopes Stamps to use for my last Christmas in July card - I adore this image... maybe because it is REALLY close to home! 

This is "Wasn't Me!"

Oh this image makes me laugh! Takes me back many many years ago - to Hubby and I's first Christmas tree... we set it up proudly in the window of our apartment. Said Wow... went to get dinner... and when we walked back in the front door... OH MY our tree was on the ground all our satin Christmas ornaments were shredded all over the house. HA ! Our Cat and new kitten seemed to have a lot of fun in that couple of hours! So it really makes me happy when coloring this one! "Wasn't Me!" is colored with my Copics (colors below) and then added Nuvo Glitter pen on the ornaments so they have some sparkle. I then found some Christmas pattern papers from Graphic 45 collection, that I stacked and sewed down with both straight and zig zag stitches. A ribbon around the entire card tied off with a bow. And then the sentiment "Define Naughty" (which I find so funny) I punched it out with a EK Success punch and created a faux mat with my Copic marker around the edge. 

This one really does make me grin!
