Good morning blog friends
Its a new challenge today over at Moving along with the Times challenge Blog
- my turn to host this week and I've chosen the theme
Keep it real
(no fantasy figures)
What does that mean you may well be asking, well it's simply this. The main focus of your card must be a real living thing - people, animals, plants, trees - any living breathing thing. Now here's the real controversial part - strictly no fantasy figures - that means no fairies, witches, wizards, teddies or toys. At the risk of upsetting some people I'm coming straight out and saying - fairies are not real!! - there I've said it, we're all entitled to our opinions and for today's challenge that is mine!
Here's my card for this weeks challenge. I'm sure we've got the photograph of this stamp somewhere in our family album! This - without a doubt - is my son Matthew, when he was little, with our brown tabby Persian cat,Toby. He was the most gorgeous floppy bagpus of a cat, as soon as I saw this stamp it was mine and I made him a brown tabby when I coloured him!!
I was really excited this week to get a top 3 at Craft your Days Away challenge and and a top 5 at Crafty Card Makers challenge for my last weeks DT card for MAWTT in the Nautical challenge- lets hope you like this one just as much!

Hi Judith - what a fab image! I do love Mo's digis they are just so adorable and your card is just marvellous. Love the words!
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog and becoming a follower. I've a feeling the cat is going to become a new member of the family! I'm sure I'll be waffling away on my blog about it over the coming weeks!!
