Time for the Dreaded "Q"

       It's another challenge with an alphabet letter and this time it's the dreaded "Q" for the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place and our letter prompt is "Q."   Not an easy one for sure.  I pretty much think of quilting or quilling and I haven't done any quilling in more than 10 years so I turned to Quilted.  I used Beccy's Three French Hens image from her 12 Days of Christmas set, along with one of my Quilting dies.

      The quilted hens were colored with Sanjoki markers, then cut with an oval die from QuicKutz.  The Quilt die I used is from Sizzix.  The glitter CS is by Recollections and the green polka dot dp came from an old K & Co. stack.  The red CS was dry embossed with my Linen EF.  These are all scrap papers cut with the quilt die.  I looked through all my Christmas dies and found a holly leaves die which is from SU.  I had the mini buttons in my stash and have no idea what company made them.  The sentiment was printed and hand cut with scissors.

I based this on the sketch #289 at Sweet Sketch Weds 2

turned sideways so that the oval is horizontal and adjusted for an A2.

Cat Help at Christmas

      On the 5th day of the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop, I'm sharing a card with which every cat lover can identify!   The image is from AuroraWings and it looks so much like my Honey when he was a baby.  If I remember correctly, his first Christmas he stripped every decoration off the tree from the floor up to about the halfway point.  That year, he had no interest in climbing the tree.  By the next year, he was knocking the angel off the top of the tree. 

      After that, we put the tree in the family parlor which had sliding doors we closed to keep the cats out!
