Good morning and happy Saturday! It's the weekend, the Easter festivities are over and summer is just around the corner. It's time to begin a new challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Fun with four more fantastic sponsors. They are: Art by Miram; Kenny K.; Pholkart; and Stitchy Bear. Our theme is "Sports or Activity." I used a delightful image from Pholkart.
I call this card "Window Staring" for obvious reasons. Since the theme is Sports or Activity, I guess I should explain that "Window Staring" is one of the premier events in the Feline Olympics! This particular 'Folk Art Cat' has been at it day and night for 2 straight days. :-D
The image is colored with Copics and ProMarkers and cut with a rectangle die. The papers are from Close to My Heart and are also die cut. The long strip isn't ribbon, it's also dp from the same CTMH set. I tied a triple bow using cord and added a flower and a rhinestone. The sentiment is printed with a computer font and then cut with a fancy frame die. I added distress ink around the filigree edges.
Challenges:
Addicted to Stamps & More -- Make your mark (Coloring)
Crafting from the Heart -- A/G
Everybody Art -- Cute card
Fan-Tastic Tuesday -- A/G
Incy Wincy Designs -- Furry friends
Just Inspirational -- Bingo: dies/ Flower/ Glitter/ Twine

Come join us in our challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. If you check out the rest of the DT projects, you'll find all kinds of activities that are a lot more 'active' than Window Staring, but my life is ruled by felines, especially those who love to Window Stare! Our challenge run for two weeks so you have plenty of time to get something made and entered. Remember, with four different sponsors, you have four times as many changes to win something great so it's definitely worth entering! See you over there. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Oh you gave me such a good laugh, NC! I read the title of the post, and then scrolled down to see the card with that hilarious greeting in light of the "sports or activity" challenge theme. Yep, those kitties sure do excel at window staring. Love the folk art feel of this -- great job!
